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.

Really looking forward to this game.

Bit of uncertainty on the form guide really adds to it and both these teams are consistently quality so enjoyable to watch.

Hmmmm, that loosehead prop looks tasty.

Nice to see that there was also a moment of silence for Sean Wainui before this game.

[Stargazer]

And also honouring him during the haka!

[Stargazer]

That was an impressive driving maul from the English.

[Stargazer]

Great clearing kick from Cocksedge.

[Stargazer]

That was clear obstruction. Alley should have continued though.

[Stargazer]

England winning the physical battles, but BFs attack looks better with great speed. Still 0 all.

[MiketheSnow]

All action

Great watch

[MiketheSnow]

Great try England

[Stargazer]

Great try to the English no. 5. Renee Wickliffe got that wrong, leaving a big hole in the defence.

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.

Another good try to the English from the pick 'n go.

The Ferns are struggling against that strong English pack.

12 - 0 England

I know 😉 but I'd guess she's English...

Black Ferns 12-0 down after less than 20 minutes. This could get ugly.

[Stargazer]

@sparky Nine debutants and more than 2 years without playing test rugby. I'm not surprised.

Don't like the officiating.
