Black Ferns v Canada
-
Entire frontrow replaced now. Sylvia Brunt on, too. Not sure whether there are more changes.
-
About a 100 replays of a high tackle by Pip Love, who has already left the field. First contact shoulder, then slipping up to the neck. Penalty only.
Edit: commentators don't understand the head contact process.
-
Biggest weakness from the BFs I've noticed is the maul defence.
-
Good kick from the Canadian kicker. Good distance. Canadian line-out, about 12m from NZ try line.

England and France will maul them to death, easily unless something changes and fast
-
There goes the Candian maul again, ... oh oh, double whistle.
Kaipo Olsen-Baker sent to the bin. Side-entry to the maul.
-
Correct call.
-
Anyway gotta go, yellow for maul infringment vs BF 8. Canada lineout 5m...
I hope the BFs can pull finger!
-
Another Canadian line-out, another maul ... NZ turn over. Phew.
-
@Stargazer how did Canada NOT score that??
-
NZ scrum on NZ 5m.
Liana Mikaele-Tu’u replaces Tafito Lafaele.
NZ line-out just outside our 22.
-
Pressure BFs and the Canadian player drops the ball. NZ scrum in Canada's half.
-
Ah bugger, that attack looked good, but the BFs can't finish it.
I'm starting to think that Ayesha Leti-I’iga would be a better centre than wing, btw. Maybe put a faster player on the left wing.

100% Agree
-
Robins-Reti slipped on the field, and still down. Hopefully not a bad injury. She looked good at the back.
Change of BFs halfbacks.
-
She's staying on the field for now.
-
BFs going for a line-out on Canada's 5m.
-
That's a well worked set piece try.
-
Yes, great try to Maia Roos. Amy Rule came close, Roos finished it.
16 - 0 BFs
-
Tubic and Cocksedge both off the field, so Demant with the kicking duties. She misses.
Sub: Renee Wickliffe replaces Robins-Reti. Good decision. No point risking it.
-
The whole bench is on the field now.
-
Oh, I forgot Chelsea Bremner , who's now coming on for Ngan-Woo.
-
Some players are a bit too keen, and therefore making mistakes.
-
Good to see our defence tested a bit, now.
BFs doing a good job thus far; the Canadians gain few metres.
-
Maia Roos down. Injured or cramp?
-
She is limping off the field. Looks like her ankle.
Edit: I shouldn't listen to the commentators. They now think she's still on the field.
-
Ferns have turned the ball over, but Canadians knock on.
-
Du Plessis having cramp again.
-
What did the former BF/commentator say? Pickle juice (against cramp)? What the heck is that?
Edit: just googled it. It actually exists!
-
Holy moly what a run from Ayesha Leti-I’iga! Stopped just before the try line.
Try Chelsea Bremner.
-
Demant converts the try.
BFs lead 23 - 0. Five minutes to go.
-
Nobody can stop TUI!
What a try! Great break from Du Plessis, great pass to Tui, who steps the defender and outruns another.
Wow! Awesome!
-
Demant misses the conversion. Should have been an easy one.
28 - 0 BFs.
Two minutes to go.

Yeah like powerade on steroids. Strong stuff
-
Ayesha Leti-I’iga has been named Player of the Match.
-
One more Canadian attack. The hooter has gone.
-
Canada, like Australia earlier, guilty of poor execution when it really matters. Lineout gone to shit
-
Tui kicks the ball out and it's over. Much better game. Excellent win.
Still plenty to work on, but the improvements are visible.
FT: Black Ferns 28 - 0 Canada
That donut for Canada is significant.
