Zoe Harrison’s Last-Gasp Intercept Try Seals England Win over Black Ferns in WXV Rugby
Zoe Harrison scored in the 81st minute as England ended New Zealand’s 39-game winning streak and avoided a second straight WXV draw.
- On Saturday, England fly-half Zoe Harrison intercepted a pass in the 82nd minute to score a try, securing a 26-19 victory over New Zealand at Twickenham before nearly 60,000 spectators.
- With scores locked at 19-19, the Black Ferns chose to run the ball from their own 22 in pursuit of a win rather than accept a draw, a decision that ultimately proved their undoing.
- Moments after missing a 43-meter penalty, Harrison intercepted Amy du Plessis's long pass just 15 meters from the New Zealand tryline, diving over to spark celebrations.
- New Zealand captain Georgia Ponsonby said the loss was tough, calling it "a hell of a Test match," while England head coach John Mitchell stressed the value of winning tight contests.
- The result marks the Black Ferns' first defeat under head coach Whitney Hansen, while England ended their 39-game winning streak last week against Canada before this dramatic recovery.
