On a rain-lashed afternoon in Wellington, the Black Ferns and the Wallaroos met in a women's Test that asked an old question of sport: how much can endurance matter when one side holds nearly every advantage? New Zealand, led by the relentless Portia Woodman-Wickliffe, controlled territory and tempo with the quiet authority of a team that knows its own power. Yet Australia, young and battered by the elements, refused to be erased — and in that refusal, something worth watching was quietly taking shape.
