Excellent Winner. One of the great moments (if not the greatest) of the 2023 rugby calendar.
For Kiwi's anyway!

So you're saying a try in the 2021 RWC, scored in 2022, was the best moment of the 2023 season?
Time travel is real
I love that Stacey has a huge grin since beating the defender near half way, all the way until well after she scored.

Black Ferns Player of the Year
Ruahei Demant
Theresa Fitzpatrick
Stacey Fluhler
Sarah HiriniNo Ruby? But I'm picking Stacey
Missed out to a token forward.
In the Bart/Red Beard days the sheer possibility of such a word combo would not go unchallenged...

I still don't think that Demant was that great, she made far too many errors tactically. But as Captain she gets the credit, I guess
I tend to agree. Smith said that he made her cap because of her approach and willingness to drive his game plan through the team. In pure playing ability she has plenty of weaknesses not least kicking for touch.
Behind the scenes though I think a lot of the success was credited to her so fair dues. -

Great try to watch but the England 13 will hate the replays. Her baffling decision to pull out of the tackle on Fluhler (watch her drop her arms and hestitate) opened the door very wide.
