From Morning Report, 7:57 am on 17 August 2018

The Black Ferns continue to break new ground for women's rugby - tomorrow night they take on Australia in Sydney as part of two historic double headers with the All Blacks and Wallabies, who kick off the Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup. The world champion Black Ferns will be defending the Laurie O'Reilly Memorial trophy, the women's Bledisloe - as semi-professionals, after being given New Zealand Rugby contracts for the first time.
