Been really impressed with the skills on show from the ladies!

All teams looking to play expansive rugby. As well as brute force as shown by that England driving maul.
 
This is going to turn into a try fest now with England down to 14.

NZ will just swing it wide at every opportunity.
While England is going to keep it tight and use their forwards to power over.
 
You're maul is functioning good when a lineout 24m out is considered the danger zone, but with that in mind, it sure looks like both teams keep breaking away from the original mall. Is that allowed?
 
Mmmm.... To me that didn't look any different from the England Red card.

Same danger. Same recklessness. Same head to head collision.

But only yellow.

And the attachment to the maul seems really marginal most of the time
 
That was intense! This women's WC was hopefully the boost to women's rugby it needed and deserved.

I tried but the skill level is just shít. Watching school rugby is better. Then the women also aren't much to look at.

Really?

We weren't watching the same game then.

The handling, offloads, distribution and ball retention were better than most top men's teams.

Bloody good grubber kick through for the winning NZ try too.

Granted the place kicking especially from NZ was poor. And some overcooked touch finders by Eng.

Defence was iffy at times but who's isn't these days?

So, the Boks or France tonight?

I'll always be rooting for the Boks.

France is pretty much the Cheetahs of international rugby.

They can be either piss poor or brilliant on any given day!

But lately they have been on the better side more often. So I hate to say it but I think France by 5.
