This is the 10th game between NZ and France. NZ won the first 5 games but France have won the last 4 (since 2018). First time playing each other in NZ.

25k ish crowd.
That last semi was good watching and it was meant to be the easy one.
Really looking forward to this and hope the stress levels aren’t like the last time finals rugby was at the Garden of Eden.

[Stargazer]

@Crucial I definitely have pre-game nerves!

I am going to watch the Doris's play for the first ever. Don't let me down.

[Damo]

Pretty unconvincing start from the Black Ferns. Loose and now given away a PK at scrum time.

[Damo]

Great defence from BF but I don't know how long we can keep that up. France never looked like losing the ball in that long series of phases.

[Steven Harris]

Cocksedge needs to settle the fuck down she hacked the ball down field and there was no chase

[kiwiinmelb]

Maybe a blessing to give away that penalty, felt like a try was coming

[antipodean]

Support is far too slow to the breakdown. Lack of direction from 9 and 10 isn't helping, nor is some average passing under pressure.

France look well settled already.

[Nepia]

Anyone watching this in Oz? I've got a black screen with commentary.

Off a penalty. She tapped, ran and kicked within 5 metres. I've never understood how any player somehow learns that's a thing that is done.

@Nepia mines working fine

It's all Blue so far

[taniwharugby]

Reverse angle of that pen shows it was the wrong call

Started like we started against Aus.
