The Black Ferns have made it to the semi-finals.  

After handily defeating South Africa in the Women’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final, they’re now set to face the World No 2 team – Canada.  

However, they’re missing a major player from their line up – flanker Jorja Miller appearing to be out with a hamstring injury. 

Sky Sport Commentator Rikki Swannell told Ryan Bridge that while Miller is a huge loss, her replacement Kennedy Tukuafu is still a handy player. 

She says fingers are crossed that Miller is available again if they do make it through to the finals.
