Ferns v Oz World cup

[Tordah]

Thought the Aussie midfield butchered that try, but they got some help from NZ outside defence to score

[taniwharugby]

if an attacking player in a maul, drops to thier knees, are they allowed to get back up and carry on as if nothing happened, surely they should have to go tot he back of the maul?

This fullback tackles like Ben Blair

Apparently she's one of the best defenders in the team according to the lady commentator. A record about to be broken maybe? There's been a few of them

[KiwiMurph]

Wayne Smith knows all about losing to Aus as a head coach....

[Donsteppa]

Renee Holmes isn't out there to make a tackle. She's a turnstile of a fullback so far.

[Bones]

That's fucken more like it! Love and Fluhler instrumental.

[kiwiinmelb]

Looked good going up the guts

[KiwiMurph]

Much better.

A good kickoff started it off

[canefan]

Needed that like nothing else

[Tordah]

looked like obstruction with one Fern (5) going through the ruck there

Typical crapshoot reffing from WR

There is the general directive of "must be on your feet" but there is no specific direction on the maul - as I seem to remember several Ferners saying to me when Keven Mealamu did it many many years ago on his way to the line for ?The Blues?

[chimoaus]

Im liking McMenamin, she fucken runs hard from 6.

Was a clean out. But ref is total free for all, make the most of it

[Bones]

And a YC for the tackle?

[Donsteppa]

Australian pack does look like it'll fold pretty quickly if - if - they are put under consistent pressure.

[Yeetyaah]

No release in the tackle before that turnover. This ref is shite.
