These stupid bloody rolling mauls are killing rugby. How do you stop that?

In the nh they think it’s a thing of beauty unfortunately

Donsteppa

Whoever has the ball looks threatening, England so far look a lot more accurate with it though...

sparky

England going at a point a minute.

NTA

Penalty - one handed slap at that

Bones

She wasn't trying to catch that, should have been yellow and yet now it's advantage over.

taniwharugby

Awful ruck call there, pen all day

Yellow if it was a line break opportunity and I'm not sure it was

Ref been very poor at breakdown so far

Stargazer

That should be a red card, but the ref won't give it.

taniwharugby

On prior incidents, penalty, maybe YC

Donsteppa

Oh yay, a likely red card in a final now...

NTA

That's red

Sorry ref you can't talk that down

KiwiMurph

That's a red surely?

Stargazer

Wow, she gives the red!

I hope Portia is okay.

ACT Crusader

Aye I’m sure the ref said “off her feet” and then the English girl was still able to go on with playing the ball.

YC surely.

taniwharugby

Wow, did not expect that.

Stargazer

And the NH didn't want 20-minute red cards, so it's for the rest of the game.

kiwiinmelb

Our natural game plan without changing a thing is perfect for taking advantage of this

sparky

Absolute filth and got what it deserved.

Yeetyaah

Chelsea got done for the same thing. At least it's consistent.

Yellow if it's clearly not even trying to look like catching it. She was just swatting it away.

nostrildamus

That was hardcore stupid and dangerous.

The player of the cup, fucking shit she didn't finish the final

Stargazer

Woodman out of the game. That's so sad.

I tune into my first ever game of woman’s rugby and get a red card straight away ! How good.

Is there space for me on the bandwagon ?

canefan

Was that a red?

ACT Crusader

Portia was looking dangerous too.
