That was a high tackle.

A lot of complaining about the officiating but the fact is we are currently getting smacked by a 14 person team

That's because the reffing is really shit.
But England look far too good for sure.

@Yeetyaah said in WRWC Final - NZ Vs England:

Ah man the occasion is too big for our girls. They're proper choking.

I wouldn't call it choking. Their weaknesses are being exposed by a high quality outfit.

@KiwiMurph yeah the English are well drilled.

Close to a professional foul there

Yep, I can't see a Black Ferns loss in this match up being a choke. An English loss, maybe...

And one back, another maul try

was that forward?

She was facing her tryline and dropped it. That’s a knock on

oh sure just commentator said that must be forward.

That's the blueprint. Run them off the park

keep talking!

Rugby ruined again but by us this time.

That was an amazing period of play starting on our own goal line

We do look good when we shift it.

All joking aside, these mauls are a bit of a worry. Is that 4 or 5 tries from mauls in this half?

Well the 2nd half we need to play a hit smarter and cut the errors, especially in our 22.

On balance and given the run of play, the Black Ferns should be reasonably happy with this scoreline getting towards halftime. England might start getting a little bit nervous...

Yes we are quite shifty.

Three from white. Two from black.

mauls are a crime against humanity

Does anyone emember the 2016 Rio Olympic 7s when the Aussie girls played unbelievable rugby to beat us in the final, and it was hard to be upset because the quality of rugby was so entertaining?

This is nothing like that.
