On Saturday night the Black Ferns defeated Japan 33-0 in their quarterfinal. Earlier both New Zealand teams booked their places in the finals with convincing semifinal displays.

And the French had few answers to the might of the men in the black in the second spell. The New Zealand women continued their red-hot form with a suffocating five-try effort against the French to grab a third title for the season and second on the trot after their home triumph in Hamilton last weekend.

You might not believe the fish is actually sustainably farmed and not wild, but the salmon here would undoubtedly rival any other kind in the world. The salmon is described as stunning: fatty and unbelievably fresh, as if it's been pulled out of the water moments ago. While farmed salmon is steadily raised and available in many parts of the world, those raised in the mountains of South Island are overseen by humans but cared for almost exclusively by Mother Nature herself. They are hand fed by the staff, and this is mostly to ensure that their handlers can detect any signs of stress or illness.
