Womens RWC 2021 -NZ to host
-
Watching Canada v USA now.
Around 45:30 on the clock but nearly a minute until the TMO gets it on the radar.
Blue 12 charging into contact to tackle red 6. Head on head. Not passive. No attempt to lower height into contact. No significant drop from ball carrier.
No mitigation that I can see but ref argues there is not a high level of danger.
Yellow given. Fucking what??

@NTA the crazy one yesterday was the tip tackle on Ruby Tui.
Was clumsy more than reckless or intentional but the ref went down the most bizarre path saying that the tackler “pulled out of it” which supposedly made things better rather than the tackler not taking responsibility to get the player safely to the ground.
Lifted over the shoulder, spun and dropped from height but somehow the tackler wasn’t really at fault? -

Not the rules but certainly seem to be reluctant to use RCs.
I can understand that maybe there’s a feeling to be careful that you get it right as the impact of a red can be bigger in a tournament, but careful seems to tip toward “light” at times.
It isn’t so much the YCs that are puzzling it is the logic being explained. -
Bang on.
I’m feeling a bit ill having to agree with Reason but he seems to be taking a different approach himself to this RWC than he does with the ABsOPINION: The leniency around dangerous play over the previous month at this Rugby World Cup has been scandalous, writes Mark Reason.

Bit dumb from an England coach to make comments like this. Bound to be read by the players and although it probably wont effect the outcome of this particular game, why highlight a 'concern' and plant a seed in the players minds?
Is this a teeny tiny pressure crack? -
Oooh
Kate burst out laughing at rugby player's 'cheeky' warning about her bottom
The Princess of Wales Kate Middleton is known to be a big rugby fan and she threw herself into a training session at Twickenham, where she received a cheeky warning from a player as they practiced their skills

Not much bottom there, she's a rake.GSOH at least. All the royals I've met have been a good laugh, apart from the real oldies

I hope GSOH refers to Good Sense of Humour not Great Set of Honkers.

Some stats for the tournament.
These stuck out for me:
The Black Ferns made 91 offloads; France was second with 75. England registered 33 times.
First-five and captain Ruahei Demant made 64 runs and 18 offloads in the tournament.
England missed 36 tackles to 13 in the final.https://www.allblacks.com/news/black-ferns-by-the-numbers-at-the-rugby-world-cup/
