Black Ferns v France (WXV1 2023)

[Steven Harris]

@canefan can understand why the forwards are keeping the ball , the backs look like they met for the first time in the car park

[booboo]

Rikki Swannell back from France I've just realise.

[Steven Harris]

France extend their lead by 3 with a penalty 15-7 , great continuity got them into the 22 before pulling the infraction

[canefan]

The ladies' exit there was about as good as the men...

[Steven Harris]

Halftime cant come soon enough for the BFs , France dominating the last 10 minutes

[Steven Harris]

Halftime 15-7 France , BF’s forwards going well but the backline attack looks clunky , French outside backs look very dangerous
Ferns are very poor at halfback

The RWC last year was a dead set miracle this shows, I think

[Bovidae]

The BFs need to be more accurate with the offloads, as they are gifting France try-scoring opportunities. Demant has been one of the worst offenders.

I wish the wingers would back themselves more.

I only had half an eye on it. But the French D is choking us, and we are making silly mistakes

@canefan gives you an appreciation of how good a player Kendra Cocksedge was , smart kicking game who picked her moments

Cocksedge was slow, but she knew how to manage a game. And we know how good the professor is!

@canefan They look better being direct with pick and goes, and have made ground doing so.

Definitely. Just making silly errors

[sparky]

Excellent performance by France, deservedly ahead.

[canefan]

Ferns have to stop the helter skelter and be a little more clinical. Where have I heard that from?

[Steven Harris]

France extend their lead 18-7

[Steven Harris]

French halfback Chambon is all class

[Steven Harris]

Renee Holmes gets 3 back 10-18 France

[canefan]

Good continuity for NZ as we rumbled it up. We have a penalty but there's danger of it being reversed for an illegal clearout. Looking like a RC

[Steven Harris]

Penalty for NZ reversed Red card for Viliko ..could be the game
