    Darn that was close. A one point win against France at Eden Park, again!

    The French captain's speech was great. Gracious stuff even though hurting.

    Penalty, France kick the goal and win.

    Partially correct.

    If the BFs want to play a high tempo game how about picking halfbacks who can pass the ball with some speed and width, and not spend all night kicking aimlessly.

    @Canes4life It will be difficult, but after watching the semi between Canada and England, I think we have a chance to beat them.

    Might be highly dependent on team selection?

    The Professor can have whatever salary he wants, what a catalyst for the womens game! Long may he continue. Team came together when it counted. Great game pretty tense and nerve-wracking.

    Why the fuck you go for 3 points when Holmes missed the conversion from a very similar spot when an attacking lineout made the most sense?

    Yes. There were times when a kick to the corner was the best option but Cocksedge was determined to tap and go. Poor.

    Amen to that.

    They are showing the highlights and when we kick / grubber ahead we split their line and their players are clearly at different speeds but we don't seem to return to that tactic even though they obviously had trouble with it..they weren't so good on the scramble IMHO..

    Roos was huge. Kendra needs to know when to speed it up and when not to.

    The kick returns were awful too. We had France in a V at one stage and whoever it was, stood and waited for them to form a straight line, then ran straight into them.

    I think we have at least a 50:50 chance. At home, team confident and with a wily coach. England are the better team but there's a lot going for us.

    Was alot of panicked passing at times too, to go with the poor decision making, some calmer heads and that wouldn't have been close

    Just watched second half on delay. Picture quality was horrid for first 20. Tough to watch.
    Well done girls. Sarah Hirini has unbelievable ticker. Luka Conner and Krystal Murray were awesome too. The Bremners went well. But somehow the work at rucks was not up to scratch.
    I don't get how you can play with such a lack of kicking capability. Demant has no depth and Holmes seems inconsistent. Why on earth is Hazel Tubic not there to have us playing in the right part of the field more? Big calls for the coaches for next week?
