Their final match saw them lose 24-12 to New Zealand in a hard-fought contest in which Amy Wilson-Hardy’s try kept them in touch for most of the game before late tries from Gayle Broughton and Portia Woodman ensured the Kiwis remained unbeaten in the pool stage.

New Zealand will take on Fiji in the quarter-finals, with Australia tackling Russia and USA playing France.
