Australia ain't in the final despite all that kid's spadework...

What are our chances against England?

@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.

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.
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..
-
Not one question from Kirstie to Ruahei about the 2nd half tactics ..

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? -
Just enjoy the game and result and stop analysing everything. Save it for the early hours and the fat jokes.
I know we can’t help it with the ABs but how about leaving this area of the game to enjoy things?
It’s why I didn’t even open the thread during the match.
Check out that crowd. ABs might get more people but that was one of the best rugby crowds I have seen in NZ for enjoying being there and supporting.
Awesome days rugby. Both games had tension, skill, mistakes and players giving everything to the end. -
