Black Ferns v Canada

[Stargazer]

Entire frontrow replaced now. Sylvia Brunt on, too. Not sure whether there are more changes.

[Stargazer]

About a 100 replays of a high tackle by Pip Love, who has already left the field. First contact shoulder, then slipping up to the neck. Penalty only.

Edit: commentators don't understand the head contact process.

[Stargazer]

Biggest weakness from the BFs I've noticed is the maul defence.

[Stargazer]

Good kick from the Canadian kicker. Good distance. Canadian line-out, about 12m from NZ try line.

England and France will maul them to death, easily unless something changes and fast

[Stargazer]

There goes the Candian maul again, ... oh oh, double whistle.

Kaipo Olsen-Baker sent to the bin. Side-entry to the maul.

[Stargazer]

Correct call.

[Machpants]

Anyway gotta go, yellow for maul infringment vs BF 8. Canada lineout 5m...

I hope the BFs can pull finger!

[Stargazer]

Another Canadian line-out, another maul ... NZ turn over. Phew.

[NTA]

@Stargazer how did Canada NOT score that??

[Stargazer]

NZ scrum on NZ 5m.

Liana Mikaele-Tu’u replaces Tafito Lafaele.

NZ line-out just outside our 22.

[Stargazer]

@NTA I think Maia Roos stole the ball!

[Stargazer]

Pressure BFs and the Canadian player drops the ball. NZ scrum in Canada's half.

[Stargazer]

Ah bugger, that attack looked good, but the BFs can't finish it.

I'm starting to think that Ayesha Leti-I’iga would be a better centre than wing, btw. Maybe put a faster player on the left wing.

100% Agree

[Stargazer]

Robins-Reti slipped on the field, and still down. Hopefully not a bad injury. She looked good at the back.

Change of BFs halfbacks.

[Stargazer]

She's staying on the field for now.

[Stargazer]

BFs going for a line-out on Canada's 5m.

[antipodean]

That's a well worked set piece try.

[Stargazer]

Yes, great try to Maia Roos. Amy Rule came close, Roos finished it.

16 - 0 BFs
