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

Girls are bunched up like a bad league team

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

KiwiMurph

Dumb from the hooker. Clear penalty.

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

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.

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

And learn how to exit their 22...

Damo

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

Bones

Cocaine gets over the line

@Mattasaurus and calm down, been a few random passes thrown already, only 1 needed to be risked with the sideline coming

His Bobness

These stupid bloody rolling mauls are killing rugby. How do you stop that?

Didn't the Crusaders only concede 1 all season? (or something like that)

sparky

Second try for England. I think this might end up a Cricket score.

gt12

This is going to be ugly.

ACT Crusader

Well done England. That maul is a real weapon for them.

Just need to cut out the penalties.

Jailbreak7

@His-Bobness And get in amongst them. Easy to say that mind...

In the nh they think it’s a thing of beauty unfortunately

Donsteppa

Whoever has the ball looks threatening, England so far look a lot more accurate with it though...

sparky

England going at a point a minute.

NTA

Penalty - one handed slap at that

Bones

She wasn't trying to catch that, should have been yellow and yet now it's advantage over.

taniwharugby

Awful ruck call there, pen all day

Yellow if it was a line break opportunity and I'm not sure it was

Ref been very poor at breakdown so far

Stargazer

That should be a red card, but the ref won't give it.

taniwharugby

On prior incidents, penalty, maybe YC

Donsteppa

Oh yay, a likely red card in a final now...

NTA

That's red

Sorry ref you can't talk that down

KiwiMurph

That's a red surely?

Stargazer

Wow, she gives the red!

I hope Portia is okay.
