The Black Ferns are determined to wrap their World Cup campaign with a medal, quickly turning their attention to the bronze playoff next week.

They've surrendered their World Cup title, defeated by Canada in the semi-finals in Bristol.

Sports journalist Alice Soper has voiced disappointment with this weekend's loss.
