Ferns v Oz World cup

[Donsteppa]

Black Ferns have started like they've read a bit too much of the local media this week.

[Bones]

I was wondering why the BF let that go put.

Lots of aggression at the breakdown from the BF, but zero smarts. Instead of just flailing about contesting, why not get in a strong position first? Or instead of getting a good hard hit on 2-3 people and going nowhere, actually targeting better to disrupt?

Girls haven't started well. Need to stop the bleeding by scoring next

[Bones]

4 handling errors and 64 tackles in the first quarter!

[KiwiMurph]

Lucky not to be down by more

[canefan]

Our 15 has been poo so far. Getting pushed off in tackles and shelled an albeit tough pass

[His Bobness]

Too excited and over-awed by the occasion. Wayne Smith needs to send someone out there and ell them to slow down, take a deep breath and stop trying to go wide too soon. It’s a disease in NZ rugby. So bloody predictable.

Did foster sneak in for some coaching work?

Your ability to work in shots at Foz no matter the situation is impressive.

[His Bobness]

@Machpants They’re walking to the pressure and embracing their learnings.

All week before the game. Some of them were eating before the game and forgot to wash the grease off their hands

[NTA]

I don't like the refs interpretation of turnover - must be lifting, not just grabbing

[Yeetyaah]

Oh boy

This looks so much like the all blacks over the last few years. Headless. Pushing it. Going wide at any chance. Dominated at breakdown.

So yes

[canefan]

Are we trying to employ the French/ SA model of losing a pool game? Looks to be working well right now

[canefan]

No accidental offside?

[KiwiMurph]

They are gonna get carded

[Bones]

That is shithouse. As good an example of accidental offside as you can get, ref and AR both within about Ten metres and miss it. Results in a pen and warning against NZ

[kiwiinmelb]

And we can’t blame Foster can we ?
