Silver Fern veteran Casey Kopua was the world champion star until her three-year-old daughter Maia stole the show.
The post-final interview turned into a cute never-to-forget moment between mother and daughter.
As Kopua answered questions on Sky Sports following the thrilling one goal victory over Australia in Liverpool, Maia beganlicking her mum's neck and shoulder.
"Do you like the taste of sweat?" the BBC interviewer asked Maia, while her mum explained that she liked the saltiness.
Prompted to help celebrate, the toddler raised an arm in triumph and managed an impressive wave.
Yay Silver Ferns, smashed it!! Fave moment apart from how much we killed it was Casey Kopuaβs daughter licking her sweaty mum on live TV ππ So worth getting up for
There was plenty of praise on social media for the Silver Ferns with the All Blacks managing to catch the ending after arriving from Argentina this morning.
