Olsen-Baker's ankle is not broken so she might not be out of the tournament.

Sorry ... she plays 6 yeah?

With Jorja at 7 pushing Kennedy Simon to 6 (she still there?) or Sae who is not awful. Not campaign ending.

@Snowy playing two forwards on the edge in a 1-3-3-1 formation.

Allows a bit of mismatch out wide

[NTA]

Watching Hollie Davidson ref makes me wince occasionally. I don't think her handing of RSA v Brazil painted her as the best ref in women's rugby.

Ella Goldsmith from Australia used to ref local women's 7s tournaments here in Sydney about the time I first got qualified. Seeing her on the world stage is pretty cool. Great temperament but no shock as she's a country girl

[NTA]

RSA have really come on in the last 12 months. It is clear the players are soaking up info and experiences like a sponge. Good structure and better technique compared to last time I saw them almost draw with Japan

[sparky]

Canada thrashed the Welsh women 42-0 so the Welsh women are heading to the door with one game left.

[Mattasaurus]

Damn some of the calls going against the Aussies at the moment are very poor

The refereeing at maul time is fucking atrocious.

[NTA]

So now it comes down to PD with England i guess? No way we're beating them

The Welsh coach can’t have watched the Squidge vid on Canada

It’s one thing to be beaten by the better team, but to be nilled

I'm 30 minutes into the relay and so far 2 knocks-on have been called backwards and at least one ruck decision has been utterly wrong in the USA's favour.

[NTA]

And now one obviously wrong in favour of us

[NTA]

This ref should be absolutely dragged over the coals for this performance

[NTA]

Blatant obstruction at every single maul

Spain only losing by 7 points to Ireland five minutes before half time.

[sparky]

Spain haven't missed many tackles, but they have been hammered in the penalty count.

[Jailbreak7]

Spain look knackered at HT.
However, Ireland far from perfect, and benefitting from a couple of ropey penalties given by this ref, who doesn't seem to be reffing the green. Ireland pretty much offside at every ruck

[Jailbreak7]

Based on this, the BFs should get the W over Ireland

[sparky]

Ireland won 43-27.

BFs against Japan just about to start.
