Womens RWC 2021 -NZ to host
-
Just got in from watching the Womens RWC games at Waitakere Stadium , first game Italy v Japan was a tough watch but the 2nd game between Canada and the USA was a good contest with Canada prevailing 29-14
The Canadians were quick with their ruck ball getting some superb late offloads to punch holes through the middle .
Was impressed with centre Canadian centre Alysha Corrigan , looks a classy player with pace and vision .Watched half of the England v South Africa game before calling it quits
England far too good up front watching them from close up as they walked out before kick off , they are bloody huge across the board and from what I was told it’s their 2nd string team they rolled out .
It’s a shame South Africa did’nt get more ball in the hands of fullback Elliose Webb and winger Nadine Roos as they both look super quickOverall a great day , plenty of Families and heaps of kids having fun

England impressive but boring as fuck
All the best moments and creativity came through the hands of the English 12

It's a try being scored by England. From halfway. That's a long way for those sweet, gentle, weak women right? Might as well call it end to end.

England coach is getting a bit testy about press comments (from home) that his team are very one dimensional.
Although I doubt they will care that much and will focus on their strengths any mind games sneaking in will be fun.
He is delusional if he thinks that the only reason England were ineffective on attack against France is because France have a good defence. England had no vision (or at least didn't show it)
He is now saying they are keeping their powder dry and will unleash in the knockouts.
They have basically bullied their way against Fiji and SA and almost appeared scared of SA until they got some chances to kick and maul and put a big points buffer on.
I can see them maybe trying a different tack in the quarters but will revert to type against Canada.
I'm not criticising them for doing what they do so well, just laughing at how they are getting a bit defensive about it.
'Oh, you can score off lineout drives. What else can you do?' -
They're popping into the school on Friday, bugger that I just started a new job last week!

NZ v Wales quarter clashes with the ABs v Japan.
I guess that the RWC draw was done way before the ABs confirmed their game. BFs were always sceduled as host to have their quarter in that slot, at that ground wherever they finished after pools.
I think I will have to decide which one to watch live as flicking between Sky and Spark is bound to be a pain.

AB B's vs Japan is a bit less of a must watch.
ABs game starts half an hour before BFs anyway. so It will work.
I can understand why watching BFs v Wales again might be painful for you though

This clash does seem a needless own goal when we are hosting the RWC.
I will prioritise the Black Ferns but I just looked and I couldn't see the All Blacks on TV schedule in the UK anyway!

More brilliant work by Mark Robinson and his gang....
Both games will be on Stan in Aus so will fire up the laptop and tv at the same time.

Japan would have set the kickoff time to suit their home audience. Not much NZR can do.
RWC controls the womens schedule and Japan controls theirs.
The AB game is a money maker isn’t it? The TV timing will dictate that one. -
I have to think NZ could have had some discussion to avoid this.
At least enough that they are literally crossing over. It may be a money maker but it still should not conflict the actual Black Ferns in a RWC quarter final
