New Zealand Thumps Fiji 78-0 in World Cup Quarterfinal

New Zealand just crushed Fiji seventy-eight to zero to storm into the Rugby League World Cup semi-finals on Australia's Gold Coast. The Kiwis racked up twenty-four points in the opening thirteen minutes alone, leaving their opponents completely stunned after just one week ago pushing reigning champions Australia close. Fiji's nightmare afternoon got even worse when captain Apisai Koroisau suffered a suspected broken jaw in an early head clash. Star centre Casey McLean led the rout with four tries, while New Zealand winger Ronaldo Mulitalo and Fiji half-back Brandon Wakeham both saw red during a fiery second-half brawl. Mulitalo now faces an anxious wait over a potential ban for a high shot. Yet the Kiwis might soon get a massive boost as star full-back Kalyn Ponga returns to training after breaking his arm back on October fifteenth.
