Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final

Superb kick Holmes , time with the goat paying dividends

Crazy Horse

Nice conversion. I wondered if she would have the distance.

antipodean

Superb conversion too.

Why aren't the Ferns exiting their half?

Crazy Horse

Yeah in the shit a bit here. Tough ask to hold them out

Stargazer

Damn, just before half time.

Poor exit from the Ferns

The French handling as they work through the phases is excellent

KiwiMurph

Here's an idea - kick to exit

Pepe

France are clinical in the red zone

nostrildamus

France are impressive. NZ need to up their game.

Awful way to end the half after fighting thier way back in

booboo

Hate the goal line drop out rule

Bovidae

Love is such an ineffective ball-carrier.

The BFs need to continue to be direct but get the cleaners there.

RoninWC

Not getting the ball wide often enough. Standing too flat and pushing passes.

Missing the clamer decision making from the last 2 and 1/2 matches.

Cocksedge is so just so bloody slow, slow of foot, slow of pass and slow of thought.

Need to bring on Ayesha and the reserve half back.

About the 4th or 5th turnover the French have got in this game..i would be replacing Sarah Hirni , Kennedy Simon is much more physical at breakdown .
I would also replace Rubi Tui with Ayesha Leti-I’iga much more power and leg drive

Jailbreak7

Big parts of that half were like rinse and repeat. BFs need to be more clinical. Cut out the silly errors and stop piggy backing the frogs down the field giving away easy points. Need to concentrate on their own game and execute.

Damo

We are making decent yards through the middle, but then we let ourselves down with poor support play.

We are in this but we have to stop giving away loose penalties. Any PK in our half is going to result in the French hammering away on our line and eventually scoring. Maybe just hoofing if it down field might be the right approach.
