Fuck that was a hit.

Bones

Nice. Take the ref and the cheats out of the equation.

This 6 is quality, beautiful offload.

It's weird how she seems more effective at 15s. I feel like she's broken more tackles already this tournament than she has in the past year in 7s.

Bones

That scrum is a disgrace, how do you get that smoked when you're the world champs?

Any idea how good Wales' scrum is compared to England?

His Bobness

Can’t see the Ferns winning the World Cup when their scrum is getting monstered in that way. Is this the first choice front row?

It’s definitely not our first choice pack.

Bones

Wales with another drinks break.

Bones

30 seconds to go and the ref halts the game for a Wales player to sit on the ground a few minutes and drink water. No injury in sight.

Fucken hell.

Lucky not to get s yellow there, no 3, again. She better not come back at hair time

@His-Bobness the front row that started against the Aussies is far better.

Was she the one blatantly trying to drag the maul down on the first drive?

Ferns scrum not working as a unit. Sort the set piece out and Wales would have no answer.

They need a 5 minute power up before each set piece though. Sort that out and it might be more even.

Good statement try

Bones

Gee I wish we could get local commentators.

NZ starting the second half exactly how they started the first?

Bones

Lovely touch Hirini.

Yup. As blatant as Demant's clean out from the side, right in front of the ref. Nothing

Goes both ways I guess

His Bobness

Just as well goal/kicking is not making the difference

Joans Town Jones

Why the feck did they play this test in the worst "stadium" in NZ?

Maybe the should play with a helium inflated ball?

She's back on!

:face_vomiting:

She's off!

Was that right after she's off loaded direct to a Welsh?

Yup I'm a few seconds behind

Yeah and the scrum immediately holds it's own.

His Bobness

@Joans-Town-Jones I think they need a ladies’ tee. (fetches coat))

We're getting away with a lot of diving over the ruck on our ball, but I'ma blame the Welsh lying all over our side of the tackle.

Beaut try.

That was awesome

Crucial

Ngan woo is our biggest maul defence weapon. Missing her today.

So the Welsh prop bores in and they go that way and get the penalty? WTF
