    Yeah in the shit a bit here. Tough ask to hold them out

    That was predictable as soon as they got the penalty.

    The French handling as they work through the phases is excellent

    Love is such an ineffective ball-carrier.

    The BFs need to continue to be direct but get the cleaners there.

    Not getting the ball wide often enough. Standing too flat and pushing passes.

    Missing the clamer decision making from the last 2 and 1/2 matches.

    Cocksedge is so just so bloody slow, slow of foot, slow of pass and slow of thought.

    Need to bring on Ayesha and the reserve half back.

    About the 4th or 5th turnover the French have got in this game..i would be replacing Sarah Hirni , Kennedy Simon is much more physical at breakdown .
    I would also replace Rubi Tui with Ayesha Leti-I’iga much more power and leg drive

    Nice conversion. I wondered if she would have the distance.

    Holmes did a 50 m kick in practice during the week. Yes, that isn't a typo.

    Big parts of that half were like rinse and repeat. BFs need to be more clinical. Cut out the silly errors and stop piggy backing the frogs down the field giving away easy points. Need to concentrate on their own game and execute.

    We are making decent yards through the middle, but then we let ourselves down with poor support play.

    We are in this but we have to stop giving away loose penalties. Any PK in our half is going to result in the French hammering away on our line and eventually scoring. Maybe just hoofing if it down field might be the right approach.

    Kinda thought we were the better team for most of the half.

    @Damo and we need players quicker there at the rucks, leaving so much for the French to attack, more so with the ref not really having an off side line

    The positives are that Ponsonby and the Bremner sisters have provided some good go-forward. Demant seems a little hesitant whether to run or pass.

    BFs just need to play their own game and not get sucked in to playing the frogs game.
