Womens RWC 2025

[sparky]

Great run from Portia Woodman to become the first player to score 50 international tries in the Black Jersey.

Much need in the context of the match.

5-5.

[sparky]

Smart kicking by the Japanese.

[sparky]

Finally a lineout goes right. Quick, clean ball.

Jorja Miller in space. 14-5.

[sparky]

Demant messes up again.

[sparky]

Vaha'akolo in after good skill by Brunt. 19-5.

[sparky]

Sorensen-McGee in for the Bonus Point try.

But they are checking it.

[sparky]

VAR says no. No try.

[sparky]

And now Sorensen-McGee scores in the other corner.

No check this time. Good response.

BP. 24-5 to the BFs.

[Jailbreak7]

BFs Lineout is a shambles.
Is there anyone else that can play 1st five other than Brazier an Demant? They are as bad as each other and are definitely a handbrake

[sparky]

Can Brunt play First Five?

[sparky]

Stacey Waka having a big game at Centre.

[MiketheSnow]

Bremner going well

[Jailbreak7]

The officiiating is absolutelly ludicrous. That so-called cynical collapse was non-existent. That was just competitive rugby.
Any excuse to give the minnows an easier ride.

[Jailbreak7]

Anyway who needs anyone else when you have Geogia Miller

[sparky]

I didn't watch the second half, but job done and on to the 3rd pool game Vs Ireland.

[Jailbreak7]

@sparky You didn't miss too much..
There was a screamer of a try, an individual piece of brilliance from Miller just after the red card, quickly followed by another from Sorenson-Magee, that's about it.
Although they will need to be more savvy with the refs interpretations if they are going to finish with a full complement of players on the park.

Who got red? For?

[Snowy]

@booboo A lock. Bayfield. Was just 2 yellows = red. She got the blame for collapsing a mall for the second one. Wasn’t watching closely enough to know if deserved, just saw her looking bewildered.

[nonpartizan]

So, South Africas win today sets up a likely/almost certain quarter final versus the Black Ferns on Sept 13th.

Three AB/BF matches v SA in 7 days.

[Snowy]

Looked to a few hungi* in there, hope they don’t do that against better opposition.

• Plural of hungus. As in fungus / fungi, cactus / cacti.
