Black Ferns v France (WXV1 2023)
-
Too many forwards going to secure rucks that the French aren't interested in competing.
-
@Stargazer just needed to keep carrying through the middle

Great kick from Chambon

France have played well. Almost error free, impressive rugby. Deserve the win.

Why did they take Mikaele-Tu'u off? She was the best player on the field.
HIA?

Deserved win to the French 18-17 , Ferns just made far too mistakes ,Red Card did’nt help

@canefan That would be an acceptable excuse.
If she was our 7, it was HIA

Congratulations to France. They deserved that.

As difficult it is to get into the ABs (because it's so hard for other players to get dropped), as easy it seems to get into the BFs. I've been surprised (and a bit worried) how many new players have been capped this year. There are quite a few inexperienced players in this squad and it's showing. For the WXV that's not good, but this is the first year of a new 3-year RWC cycle, so this is the year to do it.

BF 67% possession compared to 33% France
BF 63% Territory compared 37% France
BF 85 Tackles compared 210 France
But for me the most telling 2 stats are 12.33 in the French 22 compared to 1.48 the French had in the BFs 22
15 handling errors from the Ferns compared to French who made 4 -
@Stargazer I think she was bought up in NZ , remember seeing an item about her last year
