And on news of that huge win for Ireland's women, we will sign off. It's almost as though we knew a win was coming with our extension of Sportsday until 19:00 BST today.

Ireland, Six Nations winners in 2013, now sit top of their Pool with Kazakhstan their remaining fixture on Saturday.

New Zealand sit second but suffer their first loss at a World Cup since 1991.

Ireland captain Fiona Coghlan: "The heads never dropped because we were on the same page. Even when they went ahead we knew we would go back up there, score and win the game.

"It's huge, they are top of the world and that's where we want to be. We are not there yet but this is the next step."

To put that into context, New Zealand have won the Women's World Cup on each of its last four runnings.

They beat England in the final in 2010 but Ireland were resilient when it mattered and that stunning solo try from Alison Miller proved crucial before Niamh Briggs kicked the decisive penalty.

And that is a big shock. Ireland have beaten New Zealand 17-14 at the Women's Rugby World Cup.
