[NTA]

England spank Canada

[Stargazer]

Good try from the Aussies. Leading against France for the 2nd time in the game.
Can't imagine that will last though.

[Stargazer]

HT: France 10 - 12 Australia

[Stargazer]

No doubt the Aussies are playing well, but the French should be able to beat them easily. Yet, the Aussies are dominating. It looks like the French underestimated the Aussies ... Interesting game.

[NTA]

5 to go. 14 point margin. C'mon girls!

[Stargazer]

Well done, Wallaroos! Great win!

FR: France 20 - 29 Australia

[NTA]

Wow. French Captain born in the Future Islands, spent time at school in Hawkes bay, and studying to be a surgeon!

@NTA Teachers must make a mint on Wallis and Futuna as Woodford House is one of the poshest girl schools in NZ.

Scholarship I suppose?

Watching back Australia v Wales.

Aussie discipline was great for the first half then went to shit.

Every maul Wales have set up has been illegal.

[NTA]

Wales have played the halfback at every third ruck but never once penalised

[NTA]

Wales aren't going to improve as a nation until their discipline lifts significantly.

[NTA]

That said. Our discipline wasn't much better on balance

[NTA]

Wallaroos: still so far behind the top 4 in NZ, England, France, and Canada. Will money improve it? Perhaps. Need a development pathway that isn't just "Hey you're physically dangerous at soccer. Go play Rugby"

[Machpants]

The boring effective grind that is England rugby is back. Probably no red card to save the ferns this time

[Davesofthunder]

This Black Ferns Vs England game is a pretty good watch.

England remain on top but the Black Ferns building back.

Definitely hope for the future there

[Bones]

Ref was going well until recently. She's now under the new WR directive to ignore NH indiscretions.

[Davesofthunder]

Yep, it feels like she is giving them the rub if the green right now
