Black Ferns

The Red Roses have been defeated by the Black Ferns in the past two World Cup finals and the draw for this year's tournament means they could again present the final hurdle.

The deal included Ineos branding on the back of playing shorts and on the front of training jerseys for the nation's teams, including three-time World Cup winners the All Blacks and six-time women's world champions the Black Ferns.

England went into the last World Cup as world number ones and on a record-breaking run of Test wins, but the Black Ferns overhauled the visitors' 14-point lead after England wing Lydia Thompson had been sent off.

Ireland, who claimed a famous upset win over New Zealand in WXV earlier this month, are grouped with the Black Ferns, Japan and Spain after failing to qualify for the previous tournament.

Kildunne scored a brace of tries against the United States in the opening game of WXV1 and followed that with two more against the Black Ferns in game two.
