The Red Roses backline send their team flying to a second victory in WXV1 as New Zealand face their second defeat of the tournament.
It was a fast start from the reigning world champions as they brought a fierce intensity right out of the gate with a try on the board in the first six minutes from Olsen-Baker.
But as ever, the lethal Red Roses responded immediately as all three players in the prolific back-line went over for tries, with Kildunne even getting two before the break, giving the Red Roses a ten-point buffer heading into the sheds.
Dow got another early in the second half, followed by a solo charge down and score by Natasha Hunt on her 75th cap and Breach who got her second.
Whilst New Zealand were finally able to finally go over again from Georgia Ponsonby and Maiakawanakaulani Roos, it wasn't enough as Breach was able to complete her hat-trick, and replacement Zoe Harrison also got on the board.
