And bad options.

we look a bit panicky. So do a few of the French but we only run at their big tough ones?

We don't like kicking when we should do we

In the side.

Cocksedge with another idiotic play from the dodgy PK.

Yeah, we are doing the reverse of what we should do.

Terrible from from Woodman had no idea what do , just waited for the defence and then a series of poor options

@Damo awful decisions by her

Do we think we are fitter than them? Not sure about that.

they don't like the French up in their faces but they aren't giving themselves space

Is Cockshedge retarded?

Oh oh looks like Obelix is down.

@antipodean she ain't smart that's for sure

To be fair, it must be a tactic to take the quick taps. That is on Wayne Smith.

Anyway, soft penalty gives us a chance.

Pretty soft call I reckon

Quick tap is fine. Don't then kick it away aimlessly.

Also don't do it in their own 22m unless there is a clear opportunity.
