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.

Apparently playing against only 13 makes it easier for Spain.
This commentary team are full of sharp insights.

After the final whistle:
"The score may be 54-8 but Spain pushed them all the way"

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.

Completely.

BF's 9 should have been pinged for feeding that scrum. Never straight.
Doesn't have to be

Brazier is more impotent and pointless now than she was a decade ago. She really screams "amateur era".

Having now watched the game, all she offers now is as a passer. Absolutely no threat to run. Telling also that Holmes can kick further with her left foot than Brazier does off her right.
The loose forwards were all impressive. Miller might be better in the midfield with more space.
A shame about Olsen-Baker. Mia Anderson or Taufa Bason will be next in line.

Watched about 50 minutes of this then fast forwarded the rest.
I thought Spain were good value compared to some of the other small nations - defensive alignment was particularly good for their level.
BFs a bit flat. Game management in the halves wasn't particularly good. Still a thrashing.
-
I thought Miller and Mikaele-Tu'u were outstanding. They were everywhere. Agreed on Brazier though. Didnt offer much.
Big takeaway from the game will be finishing with 13 players on the park, for about 30 mins. They had to dig deep. -

How have the Black Ferns not found a better five-eighth?

Just like the men....

Why the fuck are we wearing white anyway?
BFs looking sharp when they play it as they see it.

Was thinking the same thing.
Rate Miller as just about the most natural rugby player i've ever seen (male or female).
I'm assuming she might have had a bit of a say in which position she'd play when she crossed over to XV's.
But i'd like to see her at 12, bit more room.
You get f'n smashed playing 7 nowdays!
