England Red Roses v Black Ferns
-
I think that Moore will mix and match his team selections with a view of maybe playing the strongest team in the last test against France.
I would be confident that the Black Fern backs are more athletic/skilled than their English and French opponents, it's just whether the forwards can gain parity and provide enough quality ball.

@bovidae Yeah. Not having played a test match for two years, makes the BFs a bit of an unknown for everyone. Most people would expect the English to be too strong because they've played 6 Nations and won the tournament this year. The French were close though. So there are high expcetations of both the English & French, but we simply don't know how good the BFs are at the moment. Can't wait to find out!

By the way, if you're wondering why one of their best players, Emily Scarrett, isn't in the squad, it's because she broke her leg while playing for her club and required surgery.

That was clear obstruction. Alley should have continued though.
Yeah that was ridiculous by her, she would probably have still got there first.
Going on the rub of the green so far, I'd guess the ref is English. Great try by England though.
