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

Penalty goal Renee Holmes.

15 - 17 USA

Been a good test to see how the team performs under duress just need to be a little more composed ,just looking a bit frantic at times

Classic example right there,could have kept it in the scrum and pulled a penalty

The experience of the NZ bench has made a huge difference. Many of the starters were rookies.

Typical frontrow try to Pip Love. Fantastic kick from Holmes to convert it.

22 - 17 NZ

Why do you have to use the ball at scrumtime when you are clearly moving forward..?
