Abbie Fleming says Wales are under 'no illusion' over how difficult it will be to face New Zealand on home soil.

Live on S4C, commentary on BBC Radio Wales Extra, BBC Sounds and BBC Sport website, plus live text updates and match report on BBC Sport website and app.

Wales lost to Canada, while the Black Ferns' 16-match winning streak was agonisingly ended by France."New Zealand are the world champions so we're under no illusion that it's going to be a very difficult game. She said discipline is something they have been working on in Dunedin this week, with Wales' penalty count costing them after a promising first half performance against Canada."We've had a look at that and plan to correct it for this weekend's game.

Wales had previously played in front of a 19,000 crowd in France in the Women's Six Nations, while selling out Cardiff Arms Park for their fixture against England."You would like to see a few more people turn up, but I do think it's important that we remember this is a new tournament and we can only go up from here, so actually it's better to start off with smaller crowds to build up to the bigger crowds," she said.
