Black Ferns 31 Wallaroos 0 at half time

Why the fuck r the Aussies taking 3s? They are down 31 - 0 and they take the 3. Then they try to take another one? Does anyone in the playing roster or coaching roster have any knowledge of maths?

Because it's better than zero.

Oh look. Another flogging by a national setup that has its shit together. What a shock.

[booboo]

Quite enjoyed this.

That is all.

@NTA taking 3s when you’re down 0-31 in the 2nd half is a million times more embarrassing and humiliating than actually trying to win the game and ending up with 0

@Yeahtheboys you're welcome to your opinion.

I mean sure, they probably were ready to strike with 5 tries (4 converted) to steal the match...

As someone who was at the game I could understand the first penalty attempt but not the second shot at goal. The wind was strong so the Wallaroos should have kicked to the corner and put some pressure back on NZ.
