    Renee Wickliffe

    An outstanding finish from the Black Ferns winger, but the pass to put her away from Hazel Tubic looked well forward.

    Surely they'll check this...

    Try given - the referee deems the ball initially travelled backwards out of the hands. Not sure about that one.

  2. New Zealand 31-0 Scotland

    Rory Lawson
    Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    What a player Theresa Fitzpatrick is. A cheeky little offload out the back, and Fitzpatrick manages to reel it in, and roll over. She has been so impressive.

    Theresa Fitzpatrick

    This is genius, it really is.

    Alana Bremner breaks the line, spins out of another tackle, and offloads to the onrushing Theresa Fitzpatrick, who juggles the ball and somehow manages to get it down in the face of several scrambling defenders.

    Take a bow.

  4. New Zealand 24-0 Scotland

    Scotland's best passage of the game so far, as strong carries from Rhona Lloyd and Jade Konkel-Roberts take them over the gain-line.

    New Zealand slam the door shut though, and are back on the attack themselves...

  5. New Zealand 24-0 Scotland

    Brilliant work at the breakdown drives Scotland off the ball.

    Just to give you and idea of New Zealand's dominance so far, they have made 68 carries to Scotland's eight.

    Scotland win a scrum, and as Rory Lawson has just said on the radio, this is a chance to slow things down and have a breather.

  6. New Zealand 24-0 Scotland

    Scotland steal a New Zealand lineout, and Lana Skeldon hacks downfield.

    They then win a penalty, and Lisa Thomson kicks into the corner.

    A chance for Scotland to attack...

  7. New Zealand 24-0 Scotland

    Rory Lawson
    Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    For Scotland, this has just been one giant defensive session. They've faced wave after wave for the entirety of this first half.

    Liana Mikaele-Tu'u

    One way traffic this.

    It's a great line from Mikaele-Tu'u, after Scotland defended the initial lineout fairly well.

    New Zealand have their bonus point try inside 17 minutes.

  9. converted try

    Converted try New Zealand 17-0 Scotland

    Sarah Hirini

    It's a try fest in Whangarei.

    Joanah Ngan-Woo punches a hole in Scotland's defensive line, and Sarah Hirini runs a lovely support line, which allows her to stroll under the posts.

  10. New Zealand 10-0 Scotland

    Rory Lawson
    Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It really is gorgeous stuff. Let-l'iga was the provider for the opener, and now goes over herself. Scotland are unable to clear their lines.

  11. try

    Try New Zealand 10-0 Scotland

    Ayesha Leti-l'iga

    Ruthless from the Black Ferns.

    Scotland lose posession from their own lineout, and New Zealand sweep forward.

    A wonderful miss pass picks out Ayesha Leti-l'iga, and Rhona Lloyd cannot stop the winger crossing in the corner.

  12. New Zealand 5-0 Scotland

    Some great defensive work from Christine Belisle wins possession back for Scotland, before a high tackle on Rachel Malcolm wins a penalty.

    Lisa Thomson kicks to touch.

  13. New Zealand 5-0 Scotland

    A knock-on in the tackle gives Scotland the put-in at the game's first scrum.

    However, New Zealand win a penalty off the back of it, and are immediately on the attack again...

  14. New Zealand 5-0 Scotland

    Rory Lawson
    Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    You've got to applaud the quality of the handling in that attack. It was a Fitzpatrick-Tubic combination that led to that score.

    Renee Holmes

    New Zealand off to a flyer.

    Phase after phase of relentless attack sees Scotland's defence stretched, and Renee Holmes crosses in the corner.

    Her conversion attempt slides wide.

  16. New Zealand 0-0 Scotland

    Rory Lawson
    Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    These are the games that you live for as a player. Scotland will be so excited.

  17. Kick-off

    New Zealand 0-0 Scotland

    French referee Aurélie Groizeleau peeps her whistle, and we are under way...

  18. New Zealand v Scotland (04:45)

    Wow, if that doesn't get you going I don't know what will!

    Scotland march up to the half-way line to face the Haka.

    The Whangarei crowd love it - kick-off is just moments away...

  19. How can Scotland qualify?

    New Zealand v Scotland (04:45)

    New Zealand have already secured themselves top spot after two bonus-point wins.

    After losing to Australia and Wales, Scotland have to beat the hosts to give themselves any chance of reaching the quarter-finals.

    Even then, they still need results in other pools to go their way.

  20. Easson makes one change

    New Zealand v Scotland (04:45)

    Scotland fullback Chloe Rollie came off injured in last week's 14-12 defeat to Australia, and was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the tournament.

    20-year old Edinburgh University student Shona Campbell replaces her in the 15 jersey.

    The rest of the starting XV is unchanged from that narrow loss.
