Wow -- that Canadian clean out so far from the side and nothing....... have to concede the officiating is looking a little bias
But the scoreboard is what it is due to us not being good enough
Yeah the one on PWW, was right in front of the ref, with her behind the ruck and not even looking to join it. Wasn't illegal clean the first penalty against us? Way to set your stall out.
Nigel can get fucked too, "she's creating a great game of rugby". If you are in the hate NZ crew, I guess so Nige.

One thing I have noticed that seems to be the same in the NZ women's and men's teams is that we have no where near the level of communication with the ref - no leadership in the refs ear asking the questions - we let other teams create the "narrative" unchallenged
-
@Mattasaurus I would say, in general, in both men's and women's rugby our national teams are too passive as if they are certain in their belief that their "superior fitness and skills" will see them home.
Springboks blew that up last week, the Canadian women are now the same tonight.

That long injury break in the first half, was it the Canada captain harping at the ref the whole time?

Could say we are missing Miller but not sure she could do much here.
She'd certainly make a better fist of the linking plays out wide that we've seen shelled half a dozen times.

She might have conjured a try in there but Canada are just all round better.

I'd venture the breakdown would be looking more even and likely a cover tackle or two would have been made.....but still BFs looking very much 2nd best.
Even if we miraculously get through this game ... simply can't see them competing with the Poms.. let alone with the home crowd willing them on.

Looks inevitable already

And we give up the ball from the kick-off...

Ripped the ball out one on one. Their forward play is impressive, excellent recycling
