New Zealand’s Kiwi Ferns defeat Fetu Samoa 32-0 in the Women’s Rugby League World Cup semi-final, booking a place in the final. Stacey Waaka scores a hat-trick as New Zealand dominate the match, while Samoa are described as rarely threatening and “inexperienced.”

Several outlets highlight that New Zealand run away late, with multiple tries in the final 12 minutes, and that Waaka’s three tries help lift the team to a comfortable margin. One report also notes Waaka draws level at the top of the tournament try-scoring charts with Australia’s Jaime Chapman, indicating she is among the leading scorers.

Other coverage includes more minimal framing: one outlet foregrounds the early scoring momentum, while another is presented as live coverage focused on the match itself.
