@Bones for someone with so much experience for every good thing she does theres plenty of rocks in between

Game losing rocks too. That turnover came from her quick tap. As did the other turnovers when she immediately kicked it to France and they took us to task.

@Steven-Harris I actually like how she tries to speed up the game. The French struggle with our speed.

There's a time and a place for it. Up by 1 with 7 and a half to go and with the other team missing a forward is not the time to do it.

That's an understatement. We've scored most of our tries this cup from lineouts and we've passed up the opportunity for a lineout 5 - 10m out twice by tapping it instead. Absolutely mind boggling.

What, no quick tap?

Lol

So are we going to win this thing and how many minutes to go. The NZ herald live updates suck

Lucky the French didn't pass to the outside there?

At least our prop knows how to kick

Penalty, France kick the goal and win.

What now ...?

Yellow, and France win

So a yellow? To be consistent?

But she wasn't upright....

She won't miss this.

Has to be

Bugger.

That's the game. Certainly a PK and it's right in front.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Red. Not a soak tackle

This loss is on the halfback and first five , nobody can convince me other wise ..
Cocksedge and Demant have not managed this 2nd half ..

Dumb rugby by an experienced player got us in this mess.

The last one was higher and less attempt to tackle legally I thought

And the coach who refuses to ever bench either or think about playing anyone else.

@Steven-Harris too much funking about in our own half and jot enough cool heads

Kendra - stayed on one year too long

well France would be deserved winners I feel. Good game.

It beggars belief that under pressure you get a penalty and immediately kick the ball back to the French.

She played all right around the field. It just amazes me that a lot of players have experience, but no game management.

@KiwiMurph Wasn't he the brains behind Rennie?

She missed!!

@Stargazer haha I'm 20 sec behind now

You beauty

Good win girls, we have a chance next week, but need to be smarter.

fucking yes! drop cock and rua for net match thanks

That's luck. I felt France played better than we did.

Wooohoooooooooo!

You don't have to win big. One point is enough.

We're in the Final!!

YEßSSSSSSSSSSSS

I thought the penalty was closer, thank fuck it wasn't

Holy schmokes! The reserve halfback will be really over the moon at getting no chance to do anything at all.

@antipodean not sure, they were definitely smarter....well done BF

Did Kendra get a kick right!

Hahaha like celebrating a double fault in tennis.

What a game.
