NZ seem to playing with a lot more oomph-are France tiring?

I reckon

@nostrildamus expect more injuries

Are they experts in slowing down the game? We shall see!

Krystal Murray ..outrageous offload

How good was that ball from Murray

I don't think Cocksedge has been half as bad as some are saying. She mixes some bad decisions with some really good stuff.

yup I think the French forwards are tiring

@Stargazer she has been pretty good but some awful decisions

We need to chill out on the quick taps, that would have been a 5m lineout and likely try

@taniwharugby Yeah, that's what I said.

Credit to her that was a good decision to tap.

@Damo well that's all she's done so one had to be good...

No way we would've kicked it to 5m, we normally make about 10

@Stargazer said in Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final:

Bad is a huge understatement. We all know that anyone who taps a penalty and kicks immediately should be shot. She has the audacity to do it twice.

I can't see what she brings as a positive that any other half couldn't.

Come on girls; put that foot a little firmer on that French throat!!

Demaunt needed to go long

She has done it 4 times lol.

Yeah, poor option when you are defending a lead.

@hydro11 have we had a decent exit tonight?

Shit defence

Damn. French try right under the sticks. Only one point in it now.

@taniwharugby said in Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final:

@hydro11 have we had a decent exit tonight?

No, and most of it has been poor tactical decisions, rather than execution or ability to kick.

tackling suddenly optional.

The benefit of all your tries being bully tactics is they're all 7 pointers.

Is that the 2nd or 3rd try following a non-exit

The quick taps and refusing to boot the fucking ball down field are what is keeping France in the game

Get Demant off, get Tubic on and play field position

@Steven-Harris said in Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final:

Get Demant off

Who's going to kick better, we have no kickers

Stop playing in our own half please.

we are lucky France can't always kick well either

Cocksedge needs to kick from 9

@Machpants Cocksedge has kicked plenty...

@taniwharugby said in Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final:

@Machpants Cocksedge has kicked plenty...

True, but I did say well

@taniwharugby said in Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final:

@Machpants Cocksedge has kicked plenty...

Plenty and every one bar one has been fucking useless.

Anyone says she has been okay is kidding themselves.

Cannot understand why she hasn't been replaced yet!

Christ this is tense!!

@taniwharugby said in Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final:

@Machpants Cocksedge has kicked plenty...

She has kicked well from the base of the ruck.

Not well from straight after taps.

Hahahahaha, what game are you watching?

Another shit execution by Cocksedge. She kicks possession away aimlessly and without benefit.

That better be a red, no mitigation

In the men's game that would be a red; in the women's game probably a yellow, if anything.
