Black Ferns v USA

Perese again. Ughh.

[Stargazer]

Sylvia Brunt's first test try. Well done!

[Machpants]

Weather is pretty shit. It's amazing how little kicking there is in both games, considering the conditions

The yanks may be weak but I’m enjoying watching a Wayne Smith team coming together.
21-3 after 24minutes

Literally bumped into him in the concourse, life goal highlight lol

BF's scrum in the first half was up and down (more down than up) but the BF's are getting monstered at scrum in the 2nd half. It's like they've subbed on Lomax and Numia

[Crucial]

Perese needs to be pulled before she loses all confidence.

[Toddy]

Number 8 has feet for hands though she's been good at the back of a back-peddling scrum.

[Crucial]

Who needs a scrum?

That’s LMT. MMT’s little sis.

Another ex Hastings kid for @Nepia to claim.

Hat-trick!

Hungus!

At least this time it worked

Arihiana Marino-Tauhinu and Hazel Tupic should be the starting halves in the big games.

Not going to happen with the captaincy selection and the wraps they have been giving her. Best might be for Tubic to play 12 but swap into first receiver often

Good thing is that we probably have our 8,9,10,12

[Stargazer]

@Crucial Demant can play at 12.

Bit small against the big teams for 12 I think.

[Stargazer]

@Crucial They've moved her there in the previous games as soon as Tubic came on. There's no reason why they can't do that from the start.

Murray will get a card. The question is the colour.

Edit: yellow. First contact chest, slipping up to head.

I couldn’t even see head contact.. not until after the tackle impact

[Bovidae]

@Crucial Who are you saying is your no.8? Olsen-Baker?
