Black Ferns 2026

Sylvia is her English name.

@Bovidae Right so there might be options to shorten it when required, thank goodness for that. You can just imagine Nisbo having kittens having to refer to her full name during his commentary, not to mention some of the stumbles along the way trying to get it out! I suspect Ken Laban would have more success in getting it pronounced correctly so it seems right up his alley to be allocated the duties for this particular match

Rikki Swannell often says her full name in commentary. The same for Maiakawanakaulani Roos.

USA playing really playing well. A good contest.

Black Ferns with so many stupid needless offloads

Switched on about 10mins ago.

19-15 NZ.

But Yanks looking more than competitive.

Hmm. Yanks have ball on the 15 30m out and take the sook option to close the half. 19-15 NZ up still.

How/where to watch/follow this? world.rugby "match centre" has zero updates/score.

@Kruse on Stan in Aus

This is shaping up as Yanks game to lose

We've got on Stan in Oz

NZ winger (Paul?) just blew two tries

Holmes eventually gets it over the line. And converts.

26-15

NZ been playing one short with LMT off for high shot (stays yellow)

Holmes balls up conversion of Paul's try (eventually gets it done) taking too long.

Flood gates opening. (Back to fullXV).

Guess I'm dependent on TSF for following this..
Regular updates please?

BFs up 38-15 with 62 minutes

BFs down to 14 players with a 10 more minutes remaining on a 20 minute red card

The first yellow card actually helped the Ferns

Forced them to play tighter and direct in attack

43-15, 63mins

Make that 45-15

Black Ferns down to 13
