a full go-around as the Black Ferns proceeded with their arrangements for facilitating the Women's Rugby World Cup with an earnest 50-6 success over the United States to wrap up the Pacific Four title.
Leti-I'iga crossed for her most memorable attempt in the initial moment, and six more followed from the home side despite Saturday's blustery circumstances in Whangarei, where the US will start their World Cup crusade against Italy on October 9.
Three triumphs in comparable circumstances throughout recent weeks gave New Zealanders the title of the best on the planet. Canada came next, updating a 10-0 shortage for a 22-10 triumph over Canada in their third game.
The Black Ferns would have slipped external the primary two on the planet rankings interestingly with a misfortune to the Americans, yet that never looked likely after scrumhalf Arihiana Marino-Tauhinu crossed for the second attempt following six minutes.
Marino-Tauhinu, playing her eighth Test, took Player of the Match respect for her presentation, which incorporated the perfect inside pass that set Leti-I'iga en route to her third attempt in the final part.
"I think the crew has gelled all-around well under our new training organisation, and you can see that out on the pitch, the young ladies truly need to continue to play no matter the circumstances," said chief Ruahei Demant.
Previous All Blacks partner mentor Wayne Smith was acquired as overseer of rugby after the visiting Black Ferns were vigorously crushed in four tests against rising powers England and France before the end of last year.
Smith won't have been satisfied with the failing lineout on Saturday; however, he realises he will be capable of approaching a few more accomplished players, who were refreshed for series when the Black Ferns go for a 6th World Cup title in the not-so-distant future.
