Womens RWC 2021 -NZ to host

Remaining NZ pool matches are at small grounds as is NZs quarter (guaranteed to be at Whangarei).
Hope they have shaken off the 'big statdium' nerves before a semi.
If everything goes to rank now we need England to rack up bigger scores than us. If we can come out of the pools ranked second it could place us up against (likely) Canada in the semis with Eng playing France. One of Canada or USA will probably rank 3rd.
Making the final has to be the minimum target and there is a hard way to get there and a slightly easier route.

Most are professional refs, and many also ref on the sevens circuit. You can argue whether they are good enough.
Here is the full list. All female apart from some TMOs.
One of the first things my wife said, commenting on the ref(s), was isn't it sexist in itself just to have women and not the best?

Japanese women are good to watch, especially now they are playing a team closer to their level
It's not even that - their ruck technique and handling is superb

So fast and great at keeping tha ball alive - they'll struggle tho, when some of them are the size of my 12 year old son who has some medical issues!

Just tuned in, what's going on?
Wales under the pump, many many penalties, but still no card. Refs are still not good enough. Scotland No 8 just stretchered off. Wales was all over then first half, but equal in the second
Oh previous scrum was a proper tightness, ball kept nicely at Scotland's feet until Wales collapsed it. Should've been yellow there, better late than never

Yeah that was what I was wondering about, they didn't say why everyone was standing around and weren't showing any shots.

Everyone in Northland saw that was a yellow, apart from the ref. Jeez
Edit I'm sure the ref was saying 13 and holding up 13, luckily the correct Welsh player copped it and went off anyway
Director got it 😜
