    FT: New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Wales players talk in a huddle after the matchGetty Images

    So that's it for Wales at this year's Rugby World Cup.

    We will always remember that amazing last-gasp win over Scotland in the opening game.

    But since then, they've been shown just how far they have to go to mix it with the big teams.

    There's no shame in two defeats to the Black Ferns though the loss to Australia was the one that got away.

    This nine-try victory means New Zealand face France in the semi-finals next Saturday.

    Tomorrow's quarter-finals see tournament favourites England take on Australia (01:30 BST) and Canada face USA (03:30 BST).

    We'll leave it there for today. Thanks again for your company. Til next time...

  2. 'We just want to entertain' - Tui

    New Zealand star Ruby Tui, who scored the second of their nine tries, told ITV Sport:

    "That was actually more fun than it looked.

    "This team has been through so much and we just want to show not only New Zealand, but the world, that women's rugby is worth watching.

    "We don't even know who is going to make the team, that is how hard the competition is within our squad.

    "We just want to entertain people."

  3. 'There's a big gap - but I'm excited for the future' - Cunningham

    FT: New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Wales head coach Ioan Cunningham told ITV Sport:

    "There's still a fairly big gap between Wales and the top teams in the world, the scoreboard doesn't lie.

    "The intensity and speed they can play at and sustain it for 80 minutes is somewhere we've got to try and get to.

    "But I'm so proud of the girls' efforts tonight, especially in the first half. We asked them to front up physically and I thought we really did. We hussled them and forced them into errors.

    "We came here to try and get out of the pool and we achieved that by reaching the quarter-final but we probably let the Australia game go.

    "I'm very excited about the future and proud to be part of this group. So much effort, commitment and sacrifice is made by these players and we've only been professional since January so I'm excited as to where this team can go over the next few years.

    "Hopefully there is more success to come leading up to the 2025 World Cup."

  4. 'We're looking to get better' - Simon

    New Zealand's Kennedy Simon told ITV Sport:

    "It's a real privilege for us to progress. There's a huge legacy that we're trying to uphold and enhance so to get through to the next phase is awesome.

    "The motivation for us is the black jersey first and foremost. But to come out here in front of these supporters and our families is what it's all about.

    "We're just trying to get better each week."

  5. 'This is just the start' - Hannah Jones

    FT: New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Wales captain Hannah Jones told ITV Sport:

    "The side that they [New Zealand] put out today was outstanding. Their offloads were outstanding, but I couldn't have asked more from the girls.

    "We showed real heart, put it all on the line and did our best.

    "We will learn a lot from playing in front of this amazing crowd and the intensity we had to play at.

    "You have to realise that we haven't been professional very long so this is just the start. We're really excited for the future."

  7. FT: New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Alecs Donovan
    Former Wales centre on BBC Radio Wales

    Wales need to perform better against these teams. They will go away from this tournament thinking this isn't good enough.

    This isn't the best Wales can play so there is a long road ahead.

    This is just the start.

  8. Full-time: New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    For a moment it looked like Woodman was in for a hat-trick after George's wayward kick.

    But that it. It's all over for Wales in New Zealand.

  9. New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Jaz Joyce is marshalled backwards as Wales concede more territory even when in possession.

    The Black Ferns have dismantled the Welsh scrum and line-out and done a great job snuffing out Wales' most exciting player.

    Comprehensive.

  10. New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Wales with possession - how good would a Wales try now be?

  11. New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Alecs Donovan
    Former Wales centre on BBC Radio Wales

    I really hope Wales can create something now and almost finish this game on a high.

  12. New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    And again there's some afters.

    Referee speaks to the two skippers after Hannah Jones and Luke Connor let each other know they're there.

    Jones has been a real warrior today for Wales.

  13. New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    If there's one Achilles heal in this Black Ferns side, it could be discipline.

    Too many needless penalties that a strong - better - side will punish.

  14. New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Hannah Jones skipped inside a couple of tackles there. She has done really well today on such limited possession and in the face of overwhelming firepower.

  15. New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    The Welsh scrum is under pressure and no wonder with Santo Taumata on the field.

    The big prop just put Kelsey Jones on her backside in open play. And looked to have a smile on her face when she did it!

    Ouch.

  16. New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Alecs Donovan
    Former Wales centre on BBC Radio Wales

    I really hope that in the last eight or nine minutes Wales show that character and belief and just play hard.

  17. Sin-bin: Lleucu George

    New Zealand 50-3 Wales

    In the build-up to that ninth try, George was shown a yellow card for a professional foul.

    Wales were only just back to full stretch but will now finish with 14.

    Try: New Zealand 55-3 Wales

    Ruahei Demant.

    Tui makes the initial burst, quick hands and Demant glides over for try number nine.

    But that's a third conversion in a row that's missed.

    We have a streaker ladies and gentleman.

    What a tackle by the security.

    The intruder is dealt with quickly.
