Black Ferns v Wales QF - RWC

[Crucial]

I'm surprised Fluhler got the nod over du Plessis

I'm not. DuPlessis is better at 12 IMO and Fitzpatrick is the form 12 and making very good decisions.
I expect dP on the bench once they sort out who gets the other spot out of Tubic and Holmes.
If you are going all in on the back three then Fluhler has the instinctive combos with Tui and Woodman.
In effect Fitzpatrick provides the link between the firepower and the go forward and is the decision maker more than Demant.

Errors from the BFs early. Solid at scrum time though

[Jailbreak7]

BFs need to settle. Stop flinging hail Mary passes wide. Patterns and structure please.

[Machpants]

Great try

[Machpants]

Wobbly conversion lol

[canefan]

Great passage of play on attack results in Firzpatrick with the big cut out pass to put Woodman in for a try in the corner

[Jailbreak7]

@Machpants long as it's good they can be wobbly!

[Bones]

The amount of Welsh players littered around the BFs side of the breakdown is ridiculous. The ref completely ignoring it is even more ridiculous.

[canefan]

Try time again. Nice play by Woodman to regather and feed Tui

[Bones]

Oh fuck off! Now we're done for side entry, with half the Welsh team offside.

Yeah typical referring in this comp, let everything go until you randomly ping some one

[Machpants]

Nice

[canefan]

Dynamic sweeping move and we get a try. Fitzpatrick probably should have passed it but we managed to recycle quickly

[Bones]

Why is Cocksedge so hesitant in everything! Can't even feed a scrum.

It's getting bizarre now, Welsh players clearly not even trying to budge after the tackle and lying lengthwise where the halfback is going and where the tackled player is trying to play the ball, and the ref not even commenting.

[canefan]

Should ruck those Welsh fatties away. The 2 looked like a bloody beached whale

[Machpants]

Too many hungus in the ferns

Botched 2 tries already. Tui should have passed early to Woodman

[Bones]

Really ref? Congratulating wales on a "great turnover"?

[canefan]

Wow. That Welsh 2 is blatantly cheating at the breakdown

[Jailbreak7]

@canefan was shouting for her to pass
