@hydro11 have we had a decent exit tonight?

Shit defence

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

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...

True, but I did say well

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

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:

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.

Red all day

Red card under current rules

How the fuck can you not see head contact you blind Irish fluffybunny?

She has put in a few good kicks over the top combined with good chasers.

My comment didn't age well as she was just charged down but doesn't change my mind. .

that French 19 is a unit. Looks a card to me.

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

Red all day

And twice on Sundays

Told you. Yellow. Ridiculous.

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

Force to the chest, fucking hell they talk arse

The famed YC for red....sigh

Yellow. It's a soak tackle

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

Told you. Yellow. Ridiculous.

But 10 minutes in the women's game? Only 1 minute left in game when she returns.

Gutless as fuck

@Machpants Demants kicking out of hand has kept France in the game

This could add a tiring factor for France..

How does TMO agree with that. Surely at some point the TMO has the power to step in and say, nah mate let's go off the air and I'll tell you what I really think privately.

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

There's absolutely no mitigation there, they just change the rules when it suits them. Rugby can be a farce.

I'm all for less cards, but jeez that was pathetic call in current framework...ref was looking at pen only to start

wow we can kick into touch, I didn't know we had that superpower!
