Womens RWC 2025

[sparky]

Leti-Inga scores a double.

[Bones]

Who is no 18 for NZ and what relation are they to Lowe/Itoje?

[sparky]

Nice break by Holmes to set up Portia Woodman for RWC try number 21.

[Bones]

Holmes just keeps on keeping on. Marry me

[sparky]

47-3. Spanish team look out on their feet.

[sparky]

NZ down to 13. Leta-Inga has walked off.

[sparky]

Apparently playing against only 13 makes it easier for Spain.

This commentary team are full of sharp insights.

[sparky]

"The Spanish team and their fans have added to this occasion."

Without them it would an unopposed training run and not a rugby match I suppose.

[Bones]

"Brazier, kicks deep"

The ball bounces just outside the intersection of the 40m and touch lines.

[sparky]

Good work by the NZ heavies to suck in defenders and Setefano scores.

50 up.

[sparky]

Five minutes left. Credit to the crowd for not heading to the car park yet. I would.

[sparky]

Great counter rucking by the Spanish half back. Saved a near certain try.

[Bones]

Brazier is astonishingly bad, the reason why there's not another 20-30 on NZ's total I'd say. Can't even throw a fucking basic 2-3m pass. What's the story with why she's still there?

She makes BB look like a superstar.

[Bones]

Would've hoped Spain were better than that. They've won the world cup because they scored a try? Fuck that's embarrassing, it's not like they're a minnow.

[sparky]

Apparently scoring against 13 players when you have 15 and are 50 points down is massive.

[sparky]

What looked like a bad injury for Olsen-Baker and some handling that reeked of jet lag, but a decent hit out otherwise for the BFs.

They looked super organised and composed, even if some of the execution wasn't quite there.

Jorja Miller in the first 20 minutes looked different gravy.

[Yeetyaah]

Geez y'all are salty this morning, who cares how Spain react after scoring a try, they're 13th in the world rankings and completely amateur.

After the final whistle:

"The score may be 54-8 but Spain pushed them all the way"

[sparky]

I haven't seen a celebration like this from a losing Rugby team since the English men at Old Trafford in 1997.

Completely.
