@Bones Haha, yes.

It's delicious.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer Superb try ,passes are starting to stick ,probably not surprising given the number of new players coming in and the lack of game time together probably explains why we saw so many handling errors and miss comunication in the first 20

[Bones]

Holmes looks like a different player. Definitely worked hard on speed and explosiveness since the RWC.

24 mins in and another converted try to the Black Ferns. Given how the Ferns have overcome the early nerves, this could get ugly.

Yes, looks like it. Only a few minutes into the 2nd half and it's already 0 - 31.

[Stargazer]

If they want to combine SR Aupiki and Super W, the competition will be even more one-sided than SRP. In the women's game, the difference between NZ and Aussie rugby is even bigger.

A clear no try - boggles the mind how many views they need

[Bones]

Black ferns under pressure here.

What the fuck? They're relentlessly smashing away at the Aussie line.

Ten seconds later. Black ferns applying all the pressure here.

[antipodean]

The Black Ferns have bombed some tries tonight.

[Stargazer]

Oops, Iritana Hohaia doesn't want to watch a replay of that intercepted pass.

[Stargazer]

Mikaele-Tu'u is having a great game. I love those big hits!

[Stargazer]

Haha, again!

[KiwiMurph]

I wish ABs had an 8 that was this brutal in defence.

[antipodean]

What a great line by Bremner.

[antipodean]

How many times do you need to see the tackle to realise there's nothing in it?

[Stargazer]

Beautiful.

FT: Wallaroos 0 - 50 Black Ferns

Well, without being perfect, with a rusty first 20 minutes, and some mistakes to iron out, the Black Ferns had a very easy game against a very poor Aussie team. Both teams have newbies, so that can't be an excuse.

I hope the Canadians bring their 'A' game on 9 July; if not, it will be way too easy for the Black Ferns to win the Pacific Fours title.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer she was missed in the final last year

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris Yep, definitely. She's relentless.
