2018 Black Ferns

[Stargazer]

Yesssss, Cocksedge scores the first try. Great footwork from Renee Wickliffe.

[Stargazer]

Wow, I hope someone makes a gif from that behind the back pass from Winiata. That was awesome.

[Stargazer]

Ouch. I wouldnt want to meet an angry Aldora Itunu.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try from captain Fa'amausili!

[Stargazer]

Yellow for the Aussie no. 8.

[ShadowTrooper]

Score update??

[Stargazer]

The Wallaroos' kicker is the LH prop. Just imagine Joe Moody doing the goalkicking for the ABs.

[Stargazer]

@shadowtrooper Black Ferns lead 12 to 3.

[Gunner]

Plenty of penalties in this game.

Assume Woodman is injured since she isn’t out there?

[Stargazer]

Try Aldora Itunu in the 41st minute! That was after Cocksedge took a quick tap and made a lot of metres. She's been good as always. Also great first half from Elder, McMennamin (sp) in the forwards, and Waaka, Demand and Winiata in the backs.

Half time: Australia 3 - 19 Black Ferns.

[KiwiMurph]

Good game of footy.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Yeah, good to watch. Sad crowd though. This game deserves more.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer Agreed. Make to look worse by such a huge stadium.

[KiwiMurph]

Awful hungus by the kiwi lock. Pass the ball.

[Stargazer]

BFs giving away too many penalties.

[Stargazer]

It's a pity Alena Saili doesn't get more space. The Aussies are marking her closely and rightly so. She's a big, strong wing and a menace if she gets an opportunity.

[Stargazer]

Fa'amausili scores again after a line-out maul!

[Stargazer]

24 - 6 Black Ferns

No, she chose not to play XVs and instead have a rest after a long 7s season. She'll probably play NPC in a few weeks. There are a few other 7s players who made the same choice, for example, Sarah Goss and Kelly Brazier.

[Stargazer]

Hat-trick for Fa'amausli. Awesome that she's come out of retirement in her late thirties to play test rugby professionally. The police can wait.

Black Ferns lead 31 to 6.
