It was the perfect start for the home side, as Moerai Makonia found her way over inside the opening minute. From there, the tries started to rain.
Shemikah Monaghan and Leliah Little found their way over the line to give the Black and Whites a 16-0 lead after just eight minutes and that lead continued to grow as the side led 38-0 at the break.
The second half started much like the first, with Savera Tanuvasa getting over just two minutes after the resumption, and the Black and Whites moved closer to the mercy rule with another two tries inside the first 10 minutes.
Makonia was able to complete her hat-trick and, in doing so, pushed the margin out to 60 points, bringing the game to a close 13 minutes early.
