I think Scotland just got bluffed out of taking a scrum.
-
shame they didn’t keep going with the maul.
-
wonderful defence by the Wallaroos.

Yeah. They shouldn’t have kicked for touch as the wind was only giving them 5 metres. Should have taken the scrum anyway as Oz were putting backs into the scrum for numbers.
I’d love to see if they really did have three nominated hookers. Looking to bring a starting prop back in to fill the role? -
Tough for Scotland. Two close losses.
Straya will be scraping for hookers against Wales.
They really need to tidy up their tackles. Should have had a red against NZ and probably at least one more yellow. -
I hear from all the British commentators that all these games are being played in Fangaree. Here's hoping there's no games in places like Worsesesstershirry if they have the cup in the UK.

Bill McLaren had to say someone played for the whakarewarewa club when Scotland toured here back in 96. He then had the good sense to apologise and say that he hoped he didn’t have to say it again. Such an old pro.

This Scotland V Aus game is a good watch.
The Sweaties leading 12-0 after about 30 and if they get close line outs have Aus really under the pump
In the maul.Suck on that @NTA you guys just embarrass yourselves when it comes to competing with the mighty Scots
This post aged badly.

Frances 9 is the anti Dupont
-
Pom pack has an ominous look to them compared to the other ladies sides
-
French wingers have hands like feet.

I hope the ferns are ready for a lot of kicking
-
And upright tackling,, the French are risking cards
-
Watching this Blue team closely. According to Rugby World Cup history we will play them in the final.
-
Man England's attack is so blunt, quite lame. But they can grind into points.

That French defence is pretty impressive. Midfield are deadly.

I wish the ref would pick up on the way that England send a cleaner straight past the side of the tackle to take out arriving defenders.

That seems pretty common in women's rugby, almost normal.

The teams doing it or the refs ignoring it?
-
English girls can actually kick, pretty much the only team I've seen

Both. Noticed it a lot in the previous games today.

The French 10 just did a kick Hunt could only dream of!
-
French 12 rocks. I think she's punished half the English team already.
-
What a bollocks call on the tackle
-

Just got pinged for a perfectly safe tackle.
-
Fancy penalising that tackle. No injury, no risk of injury and the crowd loved it.
-
Irish ref innit.
Another thing that seems to be ignored and done quite regularly by the British teams is players arriving at the side of the ruck and starting straight but cleaning out across the ruck, or around the corner.
-
10-0 to the orcettes going into half time. Must be 120 tackles by France

I always thought that the interpretation was that you had to bring the player to ground and not drop or drive the upper body.
That was just a good textbook smash that made the tackled player’s feet go up -
@Crucial I only saw the one replay but I thought she didn't go past the horizontal and landed on her back, it was her own momentum that tipped her too, it wasn't a tip tackle as such. Pretty much exactly what you'd show for textbook as legal.
-
tackles by France (ESPN) 127/141, England 35/36

Sumo 'that sucks' yup
-
Very strange decisions being made.
England are bulldozing France in the scrum. Get a scrum penalty in front of the posts and kick to a lineout.
Then get held up.
Could have had a penalty try. -
They are a really really boring team. But it works.
Getting bored of the English Comms continually saying how England player X y or z never makes mistakes, just after they made one. A complete circle jerk there
-
England 74% possession after 60 and have 10 points.

There’s a lot of “selling the game” in women’s rugby. You should hear the FPC games.
No worse than Oz league commentary really. -

Lame. But they'll still win.
I just figured out that the red dribbles around their collars are badly drawn St George's crosses
-
Out of nowhere! Great try France.

That was nice
