The Wallaroos had 12 debutants, including former Kinross Wolaroi student Grace Hamilton, in the team, but they were completely overrun by the Kiwis.
It was an historic double-header as the curtain raiser to the Wallabies and All Blacks men’s clash that also was won well (37-10) by NZ.
Wallaroos head coach Paul Verrell said: “We improved significantly in the second half against New Zealand but we did not live up to our full potential throughout the whole match.”
NZ led 31-3 at half-time.
