A pet peeve.

Kickers taking shots outside their range.

I think the girls have shown they start a bit nervous then build into the game ,

I reckon a safety first approach is best until the nerves have calmed

Nah. Play the skill game in the right areas and knock the rust out.

Wicked clean out England!

Girls are bunched up like a bad league team

England looking the much stronger team so far.

Does the women's game not have the rule where the tackler has to let the tackled player place the ball???

Fucken hell, any BF approaching the breakdown having to hurdle one or two roses to get there, but she penalised us going off our feet while hurdling.

Are we banking on being fitter than England? Looks like we are trying to run them ragged.

We look threatening which is a good sign

Just feels we are playing to their strengths.

England going off their feet at every ruck and we get pinged??

That works when the defence is fanned out - opens up the offload game at the risk of leaving you vulnerable to counterattack

There is space out wide. Portia had the ball in her hands more in the first 10 mins than in the whole match last week

Dumb from the hooker. Clear penalty.

Been alot of play so far...our breakdown work needs to be better

I think that is a tactic to set up like that in attack and then on second phase quickly spread.

That's pretty much what I see.

BFs need to commit more players to the breakdown....

And learn how to exit their 22...

That was a marginal PK. The England Player had picked it up.
