The story of the last 2 weeks for the BFs is taking opportunities, staying in the fight, and putting pressure on.

France fluff a kick and they go through to the final.
England miscall a throw and they win that final.

The harder you work, the luckier you get.

Well spoken by English captain

The Professor can wander off into the sunset with the greatest reputation. Well deserved.

If NZR want the women to continue to develop a legacy, investment in set piece and goal kicking would pay dividends.

Kicking in general.

Power is an issue and I think that sometimes factors into their kicking choices.

They do need to look at mauls. Don't mind a contrast of styles at all but a maul every 5 minutes? Also seems an adjudicational lottery to me and not a fair contest of the ball.

Demant spoke well too.

Fair play, the English captain is a better-looking Winston Churchill.

Demant POTM? Really? Did Black 13 have to leave early or something?

Yep I agree.

The issue isn't the idea of the mauls, its that the laws need tweaking/better enforcement.

Young Winston or WW2 era?

Fuck that was awesome. Two great games of rugby two weeks in a row.

So Wayne, now that your contract is up.........

Foster to bravely step into the breach?

Feel for the English players that have 2 silvers now.

13 for me as well, that try from her dummy was out of this world.

A bit dusty in here, listening to that.

Hunter put in a huge shift. A couple of poor tactical decisions but it was clear that both sides were feeling the pressure and fair enough it’s a RWC final.

They should’ve ran a couple of plays for their fullback, changed the point of attack - she’s got real wheels.

In terms of speaking, quite a rousing speaker. So probably early WWII.

That's the Black Ferns' 6th win in a RWC Final!

That's incredible.

Might have been more comfortable for the Black Ferns had they made their conversions. How many points did they leave out there?

(I couldn't spell her surname. "Fluhler" )

4 or 5 missed kicks?
