This scrum! Rope a dope in the first game?

Massive improvement over the last couple of weeks

[Jailbreak7]

@canefan Has to be. France are very good in this area.

[Bones]

I'll give it to this Welsh team, they sure take it to the opposition with their mouths. I think they must be coached as a spoiling team, rather than to try play rugby.

If they put as much effort into getting off the ground and playing rugby as they do to mouthing off, they'd be unbeatable.

[canefan]

After a loose start we have played well. I haven't seen France to know the size of the challenge in front of us. But if our pack fronts up and we can get our backs enough ball on attack we can trouble anyone on our day

Score?

55-3

[Machpants]

Woodman is so very good

[canefan]

Woodman is in rampant form right now. Almost scored a ridiculous solo try after the hooter

[sparky]

Tough experience for the Welsh girls. I hope they can have a big night out before they hop on a plane and then a safe journey home.

[broughie]

@canefan thanks. Not even close.

Yeah. But the manner of the performance was very promising

[sparky]

Black Ferns hitting top form going into the Semis. France and England will be nervous.

[Jailbreak7]

Too many loose passes and crazy off loads in this half. BFs need to tidy up that area. Standing too wide and flinging hopeful passes, more practice on the catch and pass and attention to detail.

We are up by so many that it’s not surprising we are pushing it a bit more. There is space.

[Jailbreak7]

@ACT-Crusader Yes, true. Space will be much more restricted v France though and dare I say it England. Both teams will try to suffocate the game and take control that way. If the BFs can play their natural free-flowing game, and front up on D they will win.

[ACT Crusader]

@Jailbreak7 France play a similar style to us, so that could get into a bit of scoring fest. England want to use set piece and forward dominance along with their linking game to win

Isn't Mike Cron with the team now?

[JC]

Portia Woodman seems to be playing a different game to all the other players out there. She runs like her Dad.

[Nevorian]

Great game much better skills than the Tokyo curtain raiser. Think I have witnessed a AB team that is well coached versus one that is not
