The ball wasn't out and the US just fell over the ball and sealed it off, nothing from the ref

Ref should be consistent and give red here, as well, but she's trying to talk herself out of it.

Yep, yellow.

Reason is that there was another player involved.

Great lineout set piece BFs

@Stargazer the Black Ferns player dipped but yeah the reasoning is strange

Try to Grace Gago.

5 - 7 USA

That should have been a scrum penalty to NZ. Not given.

Very frustrating watch, Black Ferns just need to breathe and not make their tackles standing upright. They're down a player but they can still win, lots of handling errors as well

No release in the tackle before the turnover

She didn't even tap the ball????

Terrible refereeing. And that red card totally ruined the game. Two reasons the USA are in front.

5 - 14 USA

The commentators talking up the USA. They know the USA have a player more, don't they?

Having said that, the Ferns must adapt better and calm the heck down.

Mikaele-Tu'u sent to the bin for repeated (team) infringing. Ferns down to 13.

Haha, and the USA don't back themselves and go for a kick at goal.

5 - 17 USA

Well, I think it's going to be tough from here. Red card was hard to argue with, But agee with @Stargazer no way did the girl take the tap before second try. I not even sure why Bunting isn't putting on a 9, this 10 is struggling to adapt.

Arihiana is on at 21 so should hopefully bring some level headedness at halfback

Demant shouldn't have kicked that, but she probably did because she's not fast enough.

Replacement players having a great impact

Try to Marino-Tauhinu, converted by Holmes.

12 - 17 USA
