That needed one more pass.

[sparky]

M-T in.

[sparky]

21-0 after 24 minutes.

[sparky]

Spain have their first attacking scrum.

[sparky]

BFs need more catching practice. 7 handling errors already.

[sparky]

Decent backrow move by Spain and they win a penalty.

[sparky]

Spain go close off a lineout maul, but it's lost on the floor and a turnover.

Spain not lacking courage.

[Bones]

Mealy mouthed nonsense ref. If NZ infringed, penalise them. Don't tell tales just so you can come up with an excuse to give it back to Spain.

[sparky]

@Bones She's looking to please the crowd.

[sparky]

Ref whistling the BFs out of this at the minute.

[sparky]

And Spain get a friendly chat and told they're very close.

[sparky]

Spain get their first points. 21-3.

[sparky]

Nearly. Clever kick.

[Bones]

Spain having a really, genuine, chance here. To catch a pass.

Fuck we've got the worst male/female commentator pairing in the UK.

[sparky]

21-3 at half time.

BFs okay, but handling is poor.

Spain are brave and tenacious.

Too much of the ref for my liking.

The commentary team all need a lobotomy.

[Bones]

@sparky there's trying to make a game exciting and then there's being a right pommie fluffybunny trying to eek out any crack to run down NZ.

[sparky]

@Bones Genuinely hate the smart Alec "I wouldn't have chosen that option" comments.

No but Spain were clearly in unimpeded if their wing caught that ball with two NZ defenders right on top of her. Exciting stuff

I get that supporting the plucky underdog is the Pommy national religion along with the NHS and the Spanish women have shown plenty of pluck in that half.

But, like with all religions, it's the fanatics that are the problem.....

Oh come on. It's a gimme from 45m out.
