Ferns v Oz World cup

Only saw from Oz 2nd try on. Rucks were a mess, referee was very friendly towards the BFs in 2nd half. BFs were the better team, though (didn't watch the first 15 minutes, mind) and deserved winners. BF kick receipt was shit. Backline with some nice things and some shit things. Direct running from forwards very effective.

With these conversions falling short you wonder whether there needs to be a ladies’ tee like in golf.
Yeah, was thinking that, but... “sexist”?
I was also just saying to a mate...

Well I was entertained. Some awesome tries, big hits and exciting play.
Was far from perfect, but good to watch.
Wahine of the Match close between McMeniman and Tui for me. Lots of hard work both.Couldn't agree more Crucial, found it entertaining, and will watch some more no probs.

We have spilled a lot of ball. Need to fix that, this score is very flattering
England will pick your lineout and scrum apart.
We haven’t played our best front row or locks yet.

Are some of the Ozzie girls obviously are into AFL, smallest shorts I've seen in rugby. Volleyball shorts
Is this a good thing or a bad thing ?
I’m suspecting the latter, this isn’t beach volleyball.

There’s the odd good bit of cheek

Just an observation, and thankfully it's not the front row

England are very well drilled. Can the BFs learn from Smithy on the fly? I hope so. Certainly the England-France game next week will be interesting.

Well at least the Spark Sport panel calls it as it is post game.
Sky avoids controversial talk but I think Sumo got it bang on with his comments about the yellow card that was for everything WR is trying to stop in the game regarding head injuries.
WR in an awkward position now. Do they practice what they preach and Red Card after the game? Or do they avoid the bad press of the Oz captain being taken out of games? -

Stan post game was whinging that by going back to the earlier yellow card the second yellow card should be cancelled out.
Never heard of playing under advantage?
So by that logic if there were two shots to the head then the second one gets ignored?

I can understand the point. It's a tough one, although this wasn't even under advantage. Easily resolved though I guess - just don't infringe further.

Watched the delayed coverage on TV3. This game showed why Smith wants Fluhler at centre. A couple of try-saving tackles early when Aust was near the goal line and then ghosts through gaps when put in space.
The lineout and scrum need to improve, particularly when the reserves came on.
