Silver Ferns 72 def Wales 39

Producing a dominant second half, the Silver Ferns overcame a spirited Wales 72-39 to complete a 2-0 series sweep in Cardiff to claim the Wendy White Trophy on Thursday.

Following their 92-27 win 24 hours earlier, the Silver Ferns had another opportunity to test new combinations, Wales showing considerable enterprise to notch up their equal-highest score against the visitors, achieved in 1998.

The Silver Ferns started with an untried line-up, bookended at both ends by youngsters Maia Wilson, under the shooting ring, making her first Test Match start, and goalkeeper Kelly Jury.
