Straight after ABs, nice

[Joans Town Jones]

Pissed I'm gonna miss this but have tickets for the double header the following weekend.

[booboo]

Is this on Stan?

Found it.

[Steven Harris]

Impressive to see a referee backing her own ability to make a call twice on a try and a no try

[Mattasaurus]

Is it artificial turf?

[Steven Harris]

Good hit back from the Canadians

[Steven Harris]

Halftime 21-14 to the Black Ferns , first 20 belonged to the Ferns but impressed with the Canadian pack to crawl their way back into the game after being down 21-0 ..
Ferns trying to be too flash as opposed to earning the right to go wide by doing the mahi up front first

Apparently. Comms mentioned it earlier

Bit close.

55mins

Nice work to put the winger Paul over.

33-21 kick misses.

[Mattasaurus]

Grubber might have been the better option there

[Steven Harris]

Good we are seeing a contest , suspect the Ferns may lay on a few more tries before games end

[Donsteppa]

The Black Ferns should go on to win this. But the sheer effort and determination shown by the Canadian players has been impressive. Whatever the result, they look like the sort of players who will never need to wonder "what if?" later on.

[booboo]

38 21, but checking knock on. Should ok ...

[booboo]

Looks good

[booboo]

Try stands

[Mattasaurus]

Few grass burns showing on the knees from the turf

[booboo]

Kick is good. 40-21
