Right, let's jump over to the Women's Rugby League World Cup, and the Kiwiferns, they survived an almighty scare, edging Fiji 18-12 in Newcastle.
Two cultures collide.
Tamara Nicholls, lovely ball on the outside.
Stacey Wanger and the Kiwi fans showing the world what they're capable of.
Fifth and last here they go to Lasana Lutu.
Kicking behind and then kicked forward by Lange.
Oh, she's got a score here, Sienna Lange.
The Kiwiferns, Tamara, she's got support.
Hufanga, it's history.
Waka on the outside.
They're going to take the two directly in front.
Tamara moves in, strikes it, splits the middle, and they're all tied up.
And now, the way to McGregor.
The kicker on the top, taken by Leanne Toffola.
And the later, you take the lead.
