Plenty of penalties in this game.
Assume Woodman is injured since she isn’t out there?
No, she chose not to play XVs and instead have a rest after a long 7s season. She'll probably play NPC in a few weeks. There are a few other 7s players who made the same choice, for example, Sarah Goss and Kelly Brazier.

The Wallaroos' kicker is the LH prop. Just imagine Joe Moody doing the goalkicking for the ABs.
Was a bloke Kjestrup (spelling maybe a letter or two out) used to kick goals for King Country in the 70s. Toe poker.

@machpants Dry weather; it didn't look slippery from the rain they had earlier today. Don't think there was much wind. Good pitch.

@crazy-horse It wasn't a curtain raiser though. It was a double-header and advertised as such.

I watched it. I like watching high level women's rugby and I love seeing how far they've developed. I'm all for it and it's refreshing to see smiles on a rugby field. I got all the family to watch despite jeers from 72 year old mother. I've met and played with several women's BBL cricketers and their skills are impressive.
Here goes though....
It's pretty much well resourced under 14s though innit?
I'm shocked at the kicking skills and Techniques. Can't even coordinate a drop and a leg swing. Surely practice at 1 hour a day for 3 months would result in the abortion line kicking on display.
This gets me thinking about what sort of product this is and how does it sustain itself?
No crowd either.
I hope it's financially viable (that is vital for all sports despite diversity undertones) and I hope it works but can't see a place in the market for it.
In summary I support the venture but struggle to see how it'll actually work - not dissimilar to a universal basic income I guess
