The only men involved are TMO
I wonder if they're not saying shit in case they get accused of mansplaining...
On a similar arc: I noticed the player profiles contain age and height, but not weight?

Having watched a bit of it through "highlights", these women are being badly let down by a standard of refereeing not up to the task.
The highlights are reflective of the rest of the game.

From a kiwi angle Iām getting a similar vibe to the early stages the 03 mens World Cup ,
How will the attacking flair of nz stand up to the power and structure game of England?

Ask your missus if she would mind you publishing her weight and see what the response is. For some reason women get a bit touchy on that subject.

Exactly my thoughts. Just seems weird that we're not going full equality on this

It is strange if the official RWC site doesn't have the full player stats.
The Black Ferns do publish them:

Good find. I was trying to see the pack weights the other day because the coverage wasn't giving them. Guess i will have to track them down individually.
I was curious to see how much heavier the NH packs were (if at all) -

I've just seen the red card against Gold 16 Marsters.
Tackler's head hit ball runner's shoulder first which is not "direct" head contact. The red card is therefore incorrect, which precipitates the second red card.
So both red cards should be rubbed out.
Not according to the judiciary. Red Card upheld and a 3 week ban.
The 2xYC Red was deemed sufficient on field punishment.
So Oz loose a hooker but they may also play a Wales team missing a prop as Donna Rose is still to have her hearing. (Rose was cited post game for dangerous contact in a ruck or maul)

@Crucial doesn't matter - we already had poor discipline in every other area of the game.
It'll really just be a question of who gets penalised more, and where on the field.

Matches to come
ENG v SA
NZ v SCO
CAN v USA
FRA v FIJ

Apart from that I can see ENG moving up to 2, pushing CAN down.
Predicted quarters: (

We finally see a ref trying to stop the play past the ball at the ruck.
Wales struggling with defence when players carry at angles and into half gaps two or three out like they did against the BFs.
Oz commentator getting on my wick when he goes into league mode when excited. -

She's rightly penalised Wales once for cleaning out from the side, but basically ignored it since.
She's warned both sides about staying up on attack as the latcher, then completely failed to penalise anyone.
Some of the ruck work being let go (both ways) is highly suspect.
Australia can win this if they use the wind but McKenzie has a pop gun for a boot.

@NTA yea plenty of side entry at rucks.
Had a few of the Wallaroos at my gym last week along with Kerevi, who while a unit, wasn't as big as i expected.

English referee has kept the welsh in this game , how a couple of those scrums outside the Wales 22 were not penalties were beyond me , agreed with Aussie coach
Black Ferns
