For who doesn't know: NZ lost 14 - 29 to Australia.
That's quite the turnaround on previous fixtures. Just a blip tho.

Our work at kickoff both ways is a major problem. Curry Mikkelsen and NG Shiu very good.
Terrible technique and that’s the coaches fault. They are lifting the catcher front on and exposing themselves to interference. Oz obviously spotted it in previous games and targeted the flaw.
I don’t think it’s a blip. I think we have some good personnel but the strategy and style is just awful. This whole soaking and moving back waiting for an opportunity is a terrible strategy and doesn’t take advantage of our big bodies and breakdown abilities.
The Black ferns by contrast go forward hard and look to shift the defence around -

In this case they have changed. Just for the worse.

Spain aren't that good.

Didn't watch the game, but as expected, it was a clear win for the AB7s. They beat Spain 36 - 7.
Watched the BF7s play Fijiana. Great match-up against a good team, but the BF7s were too good. They won 24 - 14.
Men's 9th place play-off:
2:08am: AB7s v ScotlandWomen's Cup Final:
3:56am: BF7s v AustraliaThe Aussie women looking very strong against Ireland in the semis. It will be a tough game for the BFs.

Didn't Spain beat us last time? But 100 points against us is a ridiculous suggestion.

So the AB7s lost only one game (to Australia) and won 5. True, that loss made them end up in a part of the competition with weaker opponents and they didn't have to play the likes of Fiji, but still. One loss isn't as bad as a 9th place suggests.
Great that the BF7s beat the Aussies in the Final. I hope I can find out when and where to watch a replay.
The BF7s only played two of this year's 6 tournaments and still finished 5th in the final Series standings with one silver and one bronze. That's a fantastic result. I wonder why they didn't organise another women's tournament, like they've done for the men, who play 9 tournaments, this year?
-
@Stargazer I was looking for a replay of the final myself. Prime has the last 2 hours on soon (10:30 am - 1 pm).
-
Just watched that BF7s gold medal win. Awesome game. So patient when needed. Brazier and Hirini were fantastic.
Still, that young Aussie player (I forgot her name) catching Blyde, who isn't exactly slow ... The Aussies have a good young talent in her.
