@Bones for someone with so much experience for every good thing she does theres plenty of rocks in between

Game losing rocks too. That turnover came from her quick tap. As did the other turnovers when she immediately kicked it to France and they took us to task.

@Steven-Harris I actually like how she tries to speed up the game. The French struggle with our speed.

There's a time and a place for it. Up by 1 with 7 and a half to go and with the other team missing a forward is not the time to do it.

That's an understatement. We've scored most of our tries this cup from lineouts and we've passed up the opportunity for a lineout 5 - 10m out twice by tapping it instead. Absolutely mind boggling.

What, no quick tap?

Lol

[broughie]

So are we going to win this thing and how many minutes to go. The NZ herald live updates suck

[Donsteppa]

Lucky the French didn't pass to the outside there?

[Machpants]

At least our prop knows how to kick

Penalty, France kick the goal and win.

[Stargazer]

What now ...?

Yellow, and France win

[Stargazer]

So a yellow? To be consistent?

[taniwharugby]

But she wasn't upright....

[hydro11]

She won't miss this.

[Pepe]

Has to be

[Damo]

Bugger.

That's the game. Certainly a PK and it's right in front.

[Stargazer]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[Toddy]

Red. Not a soak tackle

[Steven Harris]

This loss is on the halfback and first five , nobody can convince me other wise ..
Cocksedge and Demant have not managed this 2nd half ..

[Bones]

Dumb rugby by an experienced player got us in this mess.

[nostrildamus]

The last one was higher and less attempt to tackle legally I thought
