WRWC Final
Match thread
NZ v England
So the England midfield change is apparently bringing a second playmaker in at 12. Maybe a ploy to try and throw Smith’s expectations and analysis out or because they are now missing a second playmaker/tactical kicker with the regular 15 injured.
Some UK scribes hinting that they may play wider a bit more but I am not sure. Taking the ball away from the pack into potential turnover space would be risky.

Changing their game plan would potentially play into our hands

Maybe there was a strategy for the tournament of not showing much until the final? They did try a few things in the semi.
I would love it if they took the ball wide. Our Sevens players are all trained well at claiming turnovers.
@Davesofthunder pineapple guava!

Excellent! We know how that tactic works.

Not long now
Lots of empty seats considering I couldn't get tickets!
The only prediction I am making is that there will be tears tonight. Let's just hope they are the right kind.

That was taken as the 3/4 game was winding down. Kickoff 30 minutes away
Remember guys.....don't take it too seriously, enjoy the crowd spirit and the entertainment (Crucial)
They comms just said our girls possess a unique strength and spirit. That's cool. The England girls must be gutted that they don't have that too.

Do these girls not know how to kick?
Crazy tactics in a final.
@Jailbreak7 said in WRWC Final - NZ Vs England:
Too many nerves. Hold the ball. Stick to your patterns.
Can't do that in your own 22. Get out of dodge and make the play elsewhere

No?
Did you see the semi?
