@Machpants @KiwiMurph I've just noticed there's a match thread...

@KiwiMurph better distribution

backline going great guns early.

@MN5 said in Black Ferns v Scotland RWC:

Scotland for a historic win.

Same thing next month for the men too. This is their year.

Ok

Did Scotland leave their water bottles just sitting in the middle of the in goal? Both dangerous and ominous.

BF playing pretty scrappy

can see some of the little touches that Smith has bought to the team

But that was nice

Combinations and connections starting to click for the ferns , like the little bits of off the ball running which has created the overlap .
Playing right on the advantage line , hard to defend especially when the ball is quick

I like how the ref was awarding the try before she'd even put it down.

Smith might have to make some tough decisions in the backline.

Scotland just choosing to ignore the laws and go hell for leather trying to disrupt the breakdown by any means possible. I can see a few yellow cards coming up.

Maybe not with the refs at this comp

I think we can dump the 15, she's far too chaotic and inaccurate

@Machpants Agreed.

Hah, Scotland set a maul beautifully, BFs shear off the wrong way and leave the maul with no one in front of it, but Scotland don't even realise because they're not pushing and are just going through the motions so it goes nowhere.

Who was that one handed jackal? Spectacular!

Time for the anti teams in black slow downs

Liking the look of Marino Tauhinu , offers more of a threat than Kendra

It's a big difference.
