Black Ferns, who are scheduled to play Russia in the first quarterfinal at 8.30pm. Although, given what we just saw, they're unlikely to have much of a problem making the semis.
The rest of the quarterfinals sees Fiji v Australia (9pm), USA v Great Britain (9.30pm) and France v China (10pm).France and NZL will make it easy.
The other matches are up in the air. Fiji and GB for me

@crucial World Series officiating is much stricter. It's almost as if they're trying to simplify things for the Olympics.
Quality of the refs isn't as good

Quality of TJ is worse.
Now he's complaining about refs not calling the quick tap back 🙄

In a lot of cases they have BUT they're also ignoring the "coffee table" directive sometimes

@nta I loved how the Kenyan players just didn't want to give up.
Both sides.
TBH I reckon the Japanese taking the scrum was a mistake. Size mismatch first of all, but secondly no more effective at chewing up the clock than their passing & retention game

Ditto the Japs. They were giving everything in defence.

Blyde back!
Great to see she is fit and firing, and there’s no guarantees, but I wondered with a QF against a team we have beaten quite easily, we may have rested her.

@act-crusader she did rest last game
