Ferns v Oz World cup

[Bones]

That is shithouse. As good an example of accidental offside as you can get, ref and AR both within about Ten metres and miss it. Results in a pen and warning against NZ

[kiwiinmelb]

And we can’t blame Foster can we ?

[NTA]

Don't like the ruck interpretation either -Aussie player picked it up from being bound.

Did foster sneak in for some coaching work?

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

This looks so much like the all blacks over the last few years. Headless. Pushing it. Going wide at any chance. Dominated at breakdown.

So yes

I see McLeod has been drafted in for defence too.

He destroyed aura

[KiwiMurph]

This fullback tackles like Ben Blair

[Yeetyaah]

@KiwiMurph yeah Holmes isn't having a great game.

[NTA]

Warning has happened.

But fuck we were offside at that maul

[Tordah]

Thought the Aussie midfield butchered that try, but they got some help from NZ outside defence to score

[taniwharugby]

if an attacking player in a maul, drops to thier knees, are they allowed to get back up and carry on as if nothing happened, surely they should have to go tot he back of the maul?

Apparently she's one of the best defenders in the team according to the lady commentator. A record about to be broken maybe? There's been a few of them

[KiwiMurph]

Wayne Smith knows all about losing to Aus as a head coach....

[Donsteppa]

Renee Holmes isn't out there to make a tackle. She's a turnstile of a fullback so far.

[Bones]

That's fucken more like it! Love and Fluhler instrumental.

[kiwiinmelb]

Looked good going up the guts

[KiwiMurph]

Much better.

A good kickoff started it off

[canefan]

Needed that like nothing else

[Tordah]

looked like obstruction with one Fern (5) going through the ruck there

Typical crapshoot reffing from WR

There is the general directive of "must be on your feet" but there is no specific direction on the maul - as I seem to remember several Ferners saying to me when Keven Mealamu did it many many years ago on his way to the line for ?The Blues?
