    @No-Quarter said in Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final:

    A 1 point win against the French at Eden Park in a RWC is very fitting

    Should be balanced by a NZ win in the men's RWC final at Stade de France next year? Just to honour the symmetry?

    I have to say that was one of the most enjoyable games I've seen all year.

    Is cocksedge TJPs sister? When you are ahead on the scoreboard and you get a penalty you kick into the corner. You don’t take a quick tap and hope the ref whistles not 10 m. Also it’s not a sin to play territory.

    We were the better team but game management went AWOL and nearly cost us.

    Drouain didn't even take her time, so even if she scored, BFs would have had a chance, still. Very poor. Breakdown work from BFs was abysmal, some decision making questionable. BFs certainly got the rub from the ref, I thought. Some strong running but supporting cleanout too slow way too often

    Darn that was close. A one point win against France at Eden Park, again!

    The French captain's speech was great. Gracious stuff even though hurting.

    Penalty, France kick the goal and win.

    Partially correct.

    If the BFs want to play a high tempo game how about picking halfbacks who can pass the ball with some speed and width, and not spend all night kicking aimlessly.

    @Canes4life It will be difficult, but after watching the semi between Canada and England, I think we have a chance to beat them.

    Might be highly dependent on team selection?

    The Professor can have whatever salary he wants, what a catalyst for the womens game! Long may he continue. Team came together when it counted. Great game pretty tense and nerve-wracking.

    Why the fuck you go for 3 points when Holmes missed the conversion from a very similar spot when an attacking lineout made the most sense?

    Yes. There were times when a kick to the corner was the best option but Cocksedge was determined to tap and go. Poor.

    Amen to that.

    They are showing the highlights and when we kick / grubber ahead we split their line and their players are clearly at different speeds but we don't seem to return to that tactic even though they obviously had trouble with it..they weren't so good on the scramble IMHO..

    Roos was huge. Kendra needs to know when to speed it up and when not to.
