Ferns v Oz World cup

[kiwiinmelb]

Girls need to respect the football more ,

Looks like they are trying to do too much

[Bones]

Not often NZ teams wings and openside result in them being down on the scoreboard so badly...

[Machpants]

Scramble defence is awesome, but apart from that Ferns look like headless chickens. Not handling the pressure at all

[Jailbreak7]

Aus throwing numbers into the collision areas preventing BFs from stealing.

[NTA]

BFs have seen little of the ball, and then they're not setting a platform. Go forward before you go wide etc

[KiwiMurph]

Much better kick by the Aussie than what Cocksedge has served up

[His Bobness]

Ferns making the mistake their male equivalents are guilty of - pushing passes, trying to do too much too soon, not playing pragmatically.

[Machpants]

Ref totally missed knock on, then pick up from offside player from within the ruck

[Donsteppa]

Black Ferns have started like they've read a bit too much of the local media this week.

[Bones]

I was wondering why the BF let that go put.

Lots of aggression at the breakdown from the BF, but zero smarts. Instead of just flailing about contesting, why not get in a strong position first? Or instead of getting a good hard hit on 2-3 people and going nowhere, actually targeting better to disrupt?

Girls haven't started well. Need to stop the bleeding by scoring next

[Bones]

4 handling errors and 64 tackles in the first quarter!

[KiwiMurph]

Lucky not to be down by more

[canefan]

Our 15 has been poo so far. Getting pushed off in tackles and shelled an albeit tough pass

[His Bobness]

Too excited and over-awed by the occasion. Wayne Smith needs to send someone out there and ell them to slow down, take a deep breath and stop trying to go wide too soon. It’s a disease in NZ rugby. So bloody predictable.

Did foster sneak in for some coaching work?

Your ability to work in shots at Foz no matter the situation is impressive.

[His Bobness]

@Machpants They’re walking to the pressure and embracing their learnings.

All week before the game. Some of them were eating before the game and forgot to wash the grease off their hands
