Australia fullback Abbi Church has produced a spectacular Test debut in a hard fought 10-4 Pacific Championships win over New Zealand. Church, 27, came into the starting side when No 1 Tamika Upton was ruled out with a calf strain, and set up a try before scoring one herself at Eden Park. It was a debut to remember in a titanic and physically gruelling struggle between the world's best two teams, who will meet again in the tournament's final in Sydney on 9 November.
