Go Ferns!!!

Do these girls not know how to kick?

England accuracy good. Play down the right end and recycle

No kicking game makes things tough.

Well worked try.

Here we go

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

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

Crazy tactics in a final.

Way too classy.

England take the crowd out of it.

Too easy.

Can't do that in your own 22. Get out of dodge and make the play elsewhere

No?

Did you see the semi?

Yuck, that was far too easy.

Our winger in no-womens land

That was pretty ugly from us.

Could be a long night.

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.

Good penalty milk there

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

Woulda gone corner.

Did she Caleb Clarke there?

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

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.

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.

Wicked clean out England!

Girls are bunched up like a bad league team

England looking the much stronger team so far.

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

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.

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

We look threatening which is a good sign

Just feels we are playing to their strengths.

England going off their feet at every ruck and we get pinged??

That works when the defence is fanned out - opens up the offload game at the risk of leaving you vulnerable to counterattack

There is space out wide. Portia had the ball in her hands more in the first 10 mins than in the whole match last week

Dumb from the hooker. Clear penalty.

Been alot of play so far...our breakdown work needs to be better

@gt12 said in WRWC Final - NZ Vs England:

I think that is a tactic to set up like that in attack and then on second phase quickly spread.

That's pretty much what I see.
