Kia ora, good afternoon and welcome to Newshub's live updates as the Black Ferns host Australia from Hamilton's FMG Stadium.
Taking the field for the last time before the inaugural WXV1 tournament begins, the Black Ferns will return to playing in front of their home fans for the first time since last year's Rugby World Cup victory.
It's been nearly a year since the breakthrough moment for women's rugby but that hasn't meant the Black Ferns have been quiet by any means.
The world champions have already conquered Australia, Canada and the USA this year to lift the Pacific Four Series, and will do battle for the O'Reilly Cup here today.
For good measure, the Black Ferns ran away 50-0 victors the last time they met Australia – and that was on enemy territory.
If Allan Bunting's side can hit top gear in front of a home crowd, there's no telling how good this side could be.
