England's Harrison scores last-gasp try to beat Black Ferns
Zoe Harrison scores last-gasp try as England defeat New Zealand at Allianz Stadium to avoid a second successive draw in the WXV Global Series.
Zoe Harrison scored a last-minute try, propelling England to a dramatic 19-19 victory over New Zealand in their WXV Global Series match at Allianz Stadium. The match, which saw New Zealand take an early lead, ended with Harrison intercepting a pass and diving over the line, celebrated by her teammates. New Zealand, the defending World Cup champions, suffered their first loss under head coach Whitney Hansen after a 39-game winning streak came to an end.
The Black Ferns had led by halfway thanks to tries from Amy du Plessis and Ayesha Leti-I iga, but Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach helped England regain the lead, with Mererangi Paul's converted try sealing the draw at the 70-minute mark. England will now face Canada to complete their three-Test series, while New Zealand will travel to play France.
