Are some of the Ozzie girls obviously are into AFL, smallest shorts I've seen in rugby. Volleyball shorts
Is this a good thing or a bad thing ?
I’m suspecting the latter, this isn’t beach volleyball.
There’s the odd good bit of cheek

Just an observation, and thankfully it's not the front row

We have spilled a lot of ball. Need to fix that, this score is very flattering
England will pick your lineout and scrum apart.
England are very well drilled. Can the BFs learn from Smithy on the fly? I hope so. Certainly the England-France game next week will be interesting.

Well at least the Spark Sport panel calls it as it is post game.
Sky avoids controversial talk but I think Sumo got it bang on with his comments about the yellow card that was for everything WR is trying to stop in the game regarding head injuries.
WR in an awkward position now. Do they practice what they preach and Red Card after the game? Or do they avoid the bad press of the Oz captain being taken out of games? -

Stan post game was whinging that by going back to the earlier yellow card the second yellow card should be cancelled out.
Never heard of playing under advantage?
So by that logic if there were two shots to the head then the second one gets ignored?

I can understand the point. It's a tough one, although this wasn't even under advantage. Easily resolved though I guess - just don't infringe further.

Watched the delayed coverage on TV3. This game showed why Smith wants Fluhler at centre. A couple of try-saving tackles early when Aust was near the goal line and then ghosts through gaps when put in space.
The lineout and scrum need to improve, particularly when the reserves came on.

Second yellow for Aussie wing?
Wong was extremely lucky there.
Great to see us change our gameplan after OZ went up 17-0. Forwards stepped it up and we got go forward. So even before the cards I thought the momentum was in our favour and we were looking good.
The Wallaroos, similar to the Wallabies, hit hard and are physical. Their playmaking however left a litte to be liked. No flow from the 9 or 10.

Just finished watching that and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Foul play is foul play.

Well I was entertained. Some awesome tries, big hits and exciting play.
Was far from perfect, but good to watch.
Wahine of the Match close between McMeniman and Tui for me. Lots of hard work both.Have enjoyed Women’s rugby for some time. Great to see a big crowd. All the 7s players added something. I thought Sarah Hirini was quality. Great to have her big match experience.

After a rusty start in the first 20-25 minutes, she really upped her game and was vocal with the team.

Can't find highlights anywhere. Not promoting the tournament very well!

Why didn’t they think of going up the middle from the start?
They didn't have the ball

The switch of her and MT seemed to work well.
I thought our maul defense was effective as well. Looked fairly organised and worlds better than what we saw on the NH tour last year.
