Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final

nostrildamus

tackling suddenly optional.

Bones

The benefit of all your tries being bully tactics is they're all 7 pointers.

Is that the 2nd or 3rd try following a non-exit

No Quarter

The quick taps and refusing to boot the fucking ball down field are what is keeping France in the game

Get Demant off, get Tubic on and play field position

Damo

Stop playing in our own half please.

nostrildamus

we are lucky France can't always kick well either

KiwiMurph

Cocksedge needs to kick from 9

taniwharugby

@Machpants Cocksedge has kicked plenty...

antipodean

Another shit execution by Cocksedge. She kicks possession away aimlessly and without benefit.

That better be a red, no mitigation

Stargazer

In the men's game that would be a red; in the women's game probably a yellow, if anything.

No Quarter

Red card under current rules

antipodean

How the fuck can you not see head contact you blind Irish fluffybunny?

She has kicked well from the base of the ruck.

Not well from straight after taps.

Hahahahaha, what game are you watching?

She has put in a few good kicks over the top combined with good chasers.

My comment didn't age well as she was just charged down but doesn't change my mind. .

nostrildamus

that French 19 is a unit. Looks a card to me.

Stargazer

Told you. Yellow. Ridiculous.

Jailbreak7

The famed YC for red....sigh

Toddy

Yellow. It's a soak tackle

@Machpants Demants kicking out of hand has kept France in the game

nostrildamus

This could add a tiring factor for France..

Damo

How does TMO agree with that. Surely at some point the TMO has the power to step in and say, nah mate let's go off the air and I'll tell you what I really think privately.

taniwharugby

I'm all for less cards, but jeez that was pathetic call in current framework...ref was looking at pen only to start

nostrildamus

wow we can kick into touch, I didn't know we had that superpower!

Stargazer

Sigh. How many of the turnovers are on Hirini?

French six was on her knees ffs

Cocksedge , settle the fuck down
