    My reptilian brain tells me no rugby man should assume any value from "professional" women's rugby unless they've been hen pecked into thinking they should give a shit, or to see how many are rootable.

    It's like saying you don't mind the odd shandy every now and then ๐Ÿ™‚

    @siam Err, no.

    My wife could name exactly two All Blacks when I said she had to name at least one to get her glass of wine last night. At least Brodie Retallick was number 1, as it should be. She couldn't name a single player by position though. Nor any non-Chiefs. She cares less than zero about it.

    So if I watch women's rugby, it sure won't be because I've been "hen-pecked". If anything its me forcing her to watch games.

    I'll watch women's rugby because I like to watch rugby. All rugby. From shitty Under 55 B teams up to ABs.

    Says the guy who's summary of reffing women's rugby emphasizes fantasizing over the halfback's snatch. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    @siam That was many years ago, when I was single.

    And it is still distracting if a decent women bends over in front of me like that.

    (I've never understood watching sport to perv at women. I'm on the internet.)

    Oh, lucky. I thought for all money that it was a double movement, but the try has been awarded. Aldora Itunu.

    The conversion attempt hits the post.

    NZ leads 5 - 0

    Pip Love scores from the pick and go. Dominant.

    Cocksedge converts the try: 12 - 0 NZ

    Try Australia, scored by their no. 10.

    The LH prop misses the conversion.

    12 - 5 NZ

    Try Eloise Blackwell. You could see that one coming. Ferns forwards very dominant and Aussies giving away penalty after penalty.

    Difficult angle, but the conversion is good.

    19 - 5 NZ after 23 minutes.

    Weak last 10 minutes from the Ferns, but Wallaroos not taking their chances.

    Prop Aldora Itunu off with a serious looking injury. Went down in the scrum and took a long time to get back up.

    Never good when a prop grabs their neck after a collapsed scrum and doesnโ€™t move. Least she was sitting up in the end

    @kiwimurph Yeah, looking very good. Better than our first-five. We're missing Subritzky-Nafatali.

    Try for the Aussies. Deserved. Now the left winger going for the conversion ... but misses.

    19 - 10 NZ

    That's the half time score.

    Aussies hugely improved from last week. Wonder if this is a sign of things to come in the later game.

    Black Ferns defence getting shown up a tad.

    Cocksedge's kick is good. Ferns lead 26 - 10.

    Aussie LH prop gets a yellow. The Aussies had that one coming. Too many penalties.

    Great try from Cocksedge. Taking advantage of the one-player-more.
