The crowd is loud. Should be great fun

Stargazer

I love the noise of the crowd!

KiwiMurph

Love the english response. Good shit.

Kirwan

Scotty Stevenson talks some shit doesn’t he.

gt12

Do these girls not know how to kick?

NTA

England accuracy good. Play down the right end and recycle

taniwharugby

No kicking game makes things tough.

Well worked try.

Here we go 😞

Holmes shouldn't be there, can't tackle for toffee

Jailbreak7

Too many nerves. Hold the ball. Stick to your patterns.

KiwiMurph

Way too classy.

England take the crowd out of it.

gt12

Yuck, that was far too easy.

voodoo

Our winger in no-womens land

Damo

That was pretty ugly from us.

Could be a long night.

gt12

I think we were a little unlucky to not win a penalty at the breakdown there, but you can't it away from England, they look much better.

voodoo

Good penalty milk there

Bones

Hopefully the ref keeps that up, England will be penalised off the park if so.

Jailbreak7

Woulda gone corner.

If they get more, they'll just leave the ruck and fan out. Their D line is pretty solid

nostrildamus

the grass behind our ruck looks very tempting for fallen English players. Taking long naps there.

We were building nicely but Cocksedge could’ve easily gone around her!

Better work from us. We don’t always have to throw the big cut out pass. Nice short passes will work against England.

KiwiMurph

A pet peeve.

Kickers taking shots outside their range.

I think the girls have shown they start a bit nervous then build into the game ,

I reckon a safety first approach is best until the nerves have calmed

Nah. Play the skill game in the right areas and knock the rust out.

voodoo

Wicked clean out England!

gt12

Girls are bunched up like a bad league team

sparky

England looking the much stronger team so far.

voodoo

Does the women's game not have the rule where the tackler has to let the tackled player place the ball???

Bones

Fucken hell, any BF approaching the breakdown having to hurdle one or two roses to get there, but she penalised us going off our feet while hurdling.

Damo

Are we banking on being fitter than England? Looks like we are trying to run them ragged.

KiwiMurph

We look threatening which is a good sign

nostrildamus

Just feels we are playing to their strengths.
