@kidcalder Me too
Although I'm hoping not...but have a sneaking suspicion Canada may have already played their Final against the BFs...

Have to say, England have been pretty woeful in this tournament in comparison to how they've played in recent years. The back line look jumpy and are throwing rubbish attempts at miracle offloads, forwards are standing in passing lanes etc. The forwards themselves are bigger and more powerful than most other teams and that and some moments of individual magic from the backs, has carried them through this tournament. Based on what we see from Canada I don't see how England win on Saturday without something clicking.

Most pathetic attempt at grabbing underdog status ever.

You're the most unbackable favourites since sports betting was invented.

Would really like it to come to pass though ...

[MiketheSnow]

Heavy weight on the English girls shoulders to make the home final

Now they have, they'll destroy Canada

[booboo]

Just a quick one on the BFs:

Would they have gone better if they had concentrated on playing footy than being radical Maori activists?

Canada are a good team but they're going to struggle with England's forward pack cohesion.

If they can create some mismatches they might have a chance, but this is England's to lose.

Miller is back, Holmes still here.

Go Canada, go ! France is with you.

@Dodge Dodge mate, don't you know it's all set up for England to rin this time..?
Plus, I do rate Dow and Kildunne
Apart from Kabaya and Cokayne, I think the forwards are overrated.

Very entertaining ‘Bronze Medal’ match

Both teams want to play rugby

Evenly matched with some great skills on show

French try was fabulous

Third NZ try was fabulouser

NZ 21-7 France
38 mins

[KiwiMurph]

That try to Holmes was sensational

[MiketheSnow]

Now NZ have blown it open

But looked like a forward pass

NZ 26-7 France
Halftime

[MiketheSnow]

Fabulous finish from SorensenMcGee

Brandt and the open side playing hell with France

NZ 31-7 France
47 mins

[MiketheSnow]

That’s fucking bullshit from the ref

35m back for the penalty, no advantage

[MiketheSnow]

Opening up going late into the match with lots of subs

NZ 39-14 France
63 mins

[MiketheSnow]

France in again

NZ 39-21 France
68 mins

[MiketheSnow]

France had a good go of it but loose passes and desperation never made them a real threat

NZ 42-26 France
Full time

[sparky]

But who cares?

World Rugby needs to scrap 3rd/4th playoffs and let the losing Semi Finalists fly home early.

[MiketheSnow]

Rugby fans who want to see a good game of rugby

[sparky]

Final under way.

Nice early attack by Canada.

[sparky]

English forwards are huge. And they monster the first scrum.
