Kendra - stayed on one year too long

She played all right around the field. It just amazes me that a lot of players have experience, but no game management.

That's seriously the dumbest thing I've read so far.

Around the park she's been dreadful, can't tackle, can't pass and has rocks for brains!

wow France were so offside after the missed kick I thought we would lose it in the last play! What a game!

[No Quarter]

A 1 point win against the French at Eden Park in a RWC is very fitting

[Unite]

How good!!!!

Feel for France though, hard luck.

Great game!

[Damo]

Holy hell. Did not expect that.

I feel for the kicker.

Probably a fair enough result. Either team would have deserved to win.

Should be balanced by a NZ win in the men's RWC final at Stade de France next year? Just to honour the symmetry?

Faaark

[Damo]

I have to say that was one of the most enjoyable games I've seen all year.

Is cocksedge TJPs sister? When you are ahead on the scoreboard and you get a penalty you kick into the corner. You don’t take a quick tap and hope the ref whistles not 10 m. Also it’s not a sin to play territory.

We were the better team but game management went AWOL and nearly cost us.

Drouain didn't even take her time, so even if she scored, BFs would have had a chance, still. Very poor. Breakdown work from BFs was abysmal, some decision making questionable. BFs certainly got the rub from the ref, I thought. Some strong running but supporting cleanout too slow way too often

[sparky]

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

[nostrildamus]

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

Penalty, France kick the goal and win.

Partially correct.

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

[Canes4life]

What are our chances against England?

[Bovidae]

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.

[Stargazer]

@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.
