Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final

You have to have some sympathy for Glenn Moore as Wayne Smith has a roll call of AB greats at his disposal. This is also a black mark against NZR because it highlights the lack of resources the previous coach had.
Let's hope it works!

Have to say I like the look of the team, and absolutely stoked to see we still see bloody good players missing out, and how bloody good is it? Here we all are getting excited over the Women's game and really looking forward to the game.
Big plus all the way round! -

Pretty awesome to see.
I also have sympathy for Moore. The media picked on a couple of things in the review and scapegoated him into an untenable position but the bulk of the report was criticism toward NZRU about the levels and quality of support offered to the team. Almost well meaning volunteers without adequate guiding management leading to mixed messages and disenfranchised players.
I think Morre would have done better with support but in order to turn things around quickly he fell on his sword. -
Excuse my ignorance, I’ve been following our girls but don’t have a great knowledge of our opposition,
Is the a 50/50 or are we favourites ?

They dominated us when we toured there last year(?). But we were struggling post-covid19 and there was discord in the team, and they had regular play in the 6N. I would assume we are a much more dangerous proposition now

The exciting thing is that we truly don’t know and this will be a clash of styles.
It is as close to an old school SH v NH rugby game as you’ll get. One side keeping the ball in hand, running lines and offloading, the other with a kick and defend style. Well organised and ready to smash it up in a 10 man way.

Yeah I was aware of those results I watched those games ,
Just wasn’t 100 percent if we had improved enough to move ahead in the favouritism

Only 20,000 tickets sold for the Womens Rugby World Cup semi finals Still it is 2,000 tickets more than they had for the 2017 Womens Rugby World Cup final played at Kingspan home ground of Ulster in Ireland Probably about several thousand more that rock up to Blues games during the season and probably about 19,000 more twhat rock up to Auckland NPC games at home .
If they can get a walk up of 5’000-7’000 given the weather for tomorrow is good .
You would take that would’nt you ..? -
@Steven-Harris I'm not surprised. I think it was 35k rocked up for the hype around the triple header opening day.
People will jump on the bandwagon if the BFs make the final at the same venue a week later.
