Wow. That Welsh 2 is blatantly cheating at the breakdown

Jailbreak7

@canefan was shouting for her to pass

Bones

What the fuck is going on? That ball went out on Wales'40m. AR walks up to halfway?

canefan

Another drink break posing as an injury

RoninWC

Cocksedge, worst player on the park.

A handbrake on the BFs!

Shouldn't be starting or on the bench.

canefan

Woodman running hard and straight off a simple in pass

Bones

Wonderful lesson in taking the officials out of the equation here. If only Cocksedge stopped trying to play for the ruck pen, it's not coming, just keep playing.

Te Nana said it before. Just commit more numbers to secure quick ball and keep going

Jailbreak7

What a move by Woodman. AB wingers take note. No substitute for hard and direct running.. Demant kicking well too.

Think they must be playing to instruction. Either that or putting themselves under pressure for next week. Wales have also done a lot of work in this area and pushing the boundaries as ref allows.

She's better than Christie, at least she can chip kick

RoninWC

Cocksedge has the worst decision making ever. She looks and looks and then throws a shitty slow pass.

The backs need to stop the massive cut out passes and just run straight and hard then draw and pass.

Also, stop forcing the pass and FFS, pass early when you have the support outside you rather than waiting until your tackled or about to be tackled.

Forwards playing well in spite of the absolute shit performance from Cocksedge.

Fuck me, Cocksedge is so useless. Someone please, explain to me why the hell is she starting let alone in the side?

LOL, that's not a chip kick. It's some half-arsed box kick which she over does and kicks away possession all the time at the WRONG time!

Absolutely fucking unless half-back, old and slow of thought and pass!

History? Hopefully they switch her out for the SF. But I doubt it

canefan

Fluehler having a great game

canefan

Champagne rugby from the BFs. Portia is in again

canefan

Cocksedge points at the ball in the ruck, learned that from TJP.... ref starting to penalise Welsh at ruck time

canefan

Great scrum from the BFs there. That will feel good. And we're in from the resulting penalty. We are dominating them up the guts now

Jailbreak7

Power from Luka Connor bullocking over - needs to start the SF

I wonder if Wayne Smith is still rotating his squad? He will lay his cards on the table when he picks the SF team

canefan

Our MF are carving up. If Woodman catches that pass she's gone

Loved seeing the Welsh 6 who was being a dickhead and not letting go of the ball, become a useless passenger.

What a pass from Stace, ugly by Portia.

canefan

Wales fading and we are really humming now. Fluhler and Fitzpatrick are into everything

Bones

Welsh 6 is definitely a moron. Mucking about at a few rucks in a row there.

Fluhler is something else.

Jailbreak7

Fitzpatrick blossoming in centres. Hirinri has had a great game too. Cocksedge a little predictable, service slow Bayler will quicken things up.

canefan

Cocksedge off. Let's see what our speed from the ruck is like now

Jailbreak7

Tui has taken some punishment.

canefan

That would be RC in the men's game. Ref sounds like she's trying to talk herself out of giving it

Red card every fkn day. Rediculous call!

Tordah

@canefan fucking idiot of a ref, "silly action"

They're not professionals, and it shows

Yeah regardless of mitigation, she's been dumped on her head, through no fault of her own. The mitigation was that the player "tried to pull out" which made it worse, not better.

canefan

Don't force the pass ladies. We want to keep our structure

Bones

I think this is the worst ref I've seen.

Bones

Advantage tackler not rolling!! Holy schmokes it happened!

canefan

Another big shove at scrum time, second scrum penalty. BFs forwards sending a message. And Connor is in again

Man what's this weird thing the ferns are doing with depth and deception? Surely won't catch on
