Scotland are out of the Rugby World Cup after a heavy defeat to hosts New Zealand in Whangarei.

Renee Holmes, Ayesha Leti-l'iga, Sarah Hirini, Liana Mikaele-Tu'u, Theresa Fitzpatrick, Renee Wickliffe, and Maia Roos all crossed for the Black Ferns in a clinical performance.

Scotland improved after the break, but were unable to get on the scoreboard.

It leaves Bryan Easson's side without a win, after defeats to Wales and Australia.
