Draw Announced For Kiwi Ferns World Cup Campaign

Auckland, June 7, 2013 – It’s less than a month until the start of the Women’s Rugby League World Cup in England and the draw has been announced. It sees the Kiwi Ferns, who are the three-time reigning champs, meeting France first-up on July 5 before playing the hosts England, on July 8, and then meeting Australia on July 11.
