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.

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

Great to watch. Maybe send Fozzie a copy?

NTA

This wasn't even a contest to start, but now it's well beyond even a thrashing

Our scrum has been excellent, generally strong in the forwards. They will need to be in the SF

Bones

Haaaa hilarious hearing the Welsh pack carrying on whilst setting the scrum, then going silent as they get their heads shoved up their arses. Love it!

canefan

BFs scrum smashes Wales on their own put in again

Jailbreak7

Really like Santo Taumata's energy.

Bones

This scrum! Rope a dope in the first game?

Jailbreak7

Was that straight?

Jailbreak7

@canefan Has to be. France are very good in this area.

Bones

I'll give it to this Welsh team, they sure take it to the opposition with their mouths. I think they must be coached as a spoiling team, rather than to try play rugby.

If they put as much effort into getting off the ground and playing rugby as they do to mouthing off, they'd be unbeatable.

canefan

After a loose start we have played well. I haven't seen France to know the size of the challenge in front of us. But if our pack fronts up and we can get our backs enough ball on attack we can trouble anyone on our day

broughie

Score?

Woodman is so very good

canefan

Woodman is in rampant form right now. Almost scored a ridiculous solo try after the hooter
