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!

@Machpants no doubt they'll get belted physically. They don't have imports they can rely on like their men's team.

Scotland have some genuinely fit burds playing for them. Second row would be a good weekend.

[Bones]

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.

Looks like arm or similar

[Machpants]

Game on!

[Machpants]

What a run! What a hungus!

[Machpants]

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

[NTA]

I'm watching on delay - at the 74th minute.

I'm not shocked Wales were quoted as the most penalised team in the 6N. Their cynicism is well worthy of more cards.

[Machpants]

After 23 ish phases, Wales manage to force a penalty. 85 minute winning penalty kick taken by Kiera Beaver (according to sumo) he didn't think that through

Director got it 😜

81:20 forward pass.

[NTA]

81:48 Wales cleanout past the ball

[NTA]

83:13 penalty against Scotland fair enough. Their 9 was the culprit, and she's been generally poor IMHO

[Crucial]

So many players coming in the side and going off feet in those last 20 phases that I had to check it wasn’t Barnes officiating

The English women might have been professional for a few years but they aren't paid big bucks, at least not from the RFU. The article about their win bonuses states that the average salaries range from NZ$50-61K. The top BFs, by comparison, are now reported to earn $100K+.

I've no idea what English club salaries may be.
