Weird to hear the ref telling Saffa ball runners to stay up.on pick and go's. What?
Referring to the second player who will clean out.
I've just finished the first half of that game and the standard of play is ok considering the short history of women's rugby, but the refereeing is not.

Fiji very entertaining so far.
England expertly slowing down Fiji ball at the breakdown, bodies all over the Fiji side and the tackled player.
Ref no clue, not even a mention.

Fitness levels from a professional side kicking in now but Fijiana have shown England up a few times in skills and breaking their defence. Good news for us.
England will run away on the scoreboard now but it is more to do with an ability to play 80 than just skill.
Good that Fuji made them go to the forward drives to get ascendency too as we have had a good look at how they set their mauls. -

I'm 5 minutes in and it's clear this ref is even worse than Game 1
I think I got some spittle on the telly when she eventually penalised someone for it in the second half. A Fijian.

22 minutes in. England haven't been back 10m once on Fiji quick tap. Ref is oblivious.

Totally, I was just letting everyone know

How is a sell out, this?
The occasion was massive but equally intense. A world record crowd of 34,235 for a women’s rugby match packed in Eden Park was expectant of the host nation at their first World Cup in New Zealand
As I suggested in the match thread, are people buying tickets to not go? Or was there 12k+ people that went to the first two games but didn't stay?

There were a lot of tickets handed out as comps to schools by sponsors. I guess that not all of the kids had parents that could take them.

A lot of bullshit spotued all around then. Makes NZR etc look dumb to go off about the awesomeness of, and demand for, womans rugby, and get 2/3. Honesty would be a better policy, 30k sold 17k given away, or whatever.
I was really shocked when I turned the game on

Look at it this way. They drummed up a much bigger crowd than was originally planned for. There was some hype to get the saleable seats sold but they managed it.
You are quite negative about this tournament I must say. Did a women’s player turn you down once or something 😀
