Black Ferns v USA (Pacific Four)

[Yeetyaah]

She didn't even tap the ball????

[Stargazer]

Terrible refereeing. And that red card totally ruined the game. Two reasons the USA are in front.

5 - 14 USA

[Stargazer]

The commentators talking up the USA. They know the USA have a player more, don't they?

[Stargazer]

Having said that, the Ferns must adapt better and calm the heck down.

[Stargazer]

Mikaele-Tu'u sent to the bin for repeated (team) infringing. Ferns down to 13.

Haha, and the USA don't back themselves and go for a kick at goal.

[Stargazer]

5 - 17 USA

Well, I think it's going to be tough from here. Red card was hard to argue with, But agee with @Stargazer no way did the girl take the tap before second try. I not even sure why Bunting isn't putting on a 9, this 10 is struggling to adapt.

[Yeetyaah]

Arihiana is on at 21 so should hopefully bring some level headedness at halfback

[Stargazer]

Demant shouldn't have kicked that, but she probably did because she's not fast enough.

[Yeetyaah]

Replacement players having a great impact

[Stargazer]

Try to Marino-Tauhinu, converted by Holmes.

12 - 17 USA

[Stargazer]

Penalty goal Renee Holmes.

15 - 17 USA

[Steven Harris]

Been a good test to see how the team performs under duress just need to be a little more composed ,just looking a bit frantic at times

[Steven Harris]

Classic example right there,could have kept it in the scrum and pulled a penalty

[Stargazer]

The experience of the NZ bench has made a huge difference. Many of the starters were rookies.

[Stargazer]

Typical frontrow try to Pip Love. Fantastic kick from Holmes to convert it.

22 - 17 NZ

[Steven Harris]

Why do you have to use the ball at scrumtime when you are clearly moving forward..?

[Yeetyaah]

Shit that was good from Mikaele-Tu'u

[Davesofthunder]

Shit, didn't realise this was on at this time and it is a Utrecht Shield match which could change hands!

[Stargazer]

LMT's try is converted by Holmes.

29 - 17 NZ
