Womens RWC 2025

[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?

@Dodge said in Womens RWC 2025:

Based on what we see from Canada I don't see how England win on Saturday without something clicking.

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.

[MiketheSnow]

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

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.

[sparky]

England mess up a lineup, great work by Canada.

And it's the first try.

England 0 Canada 5

The cabbage patch is silent.

[sparky]

Not quite with the conversion.

What a start for the brave underdogs!

[sparky]

Terrible Canadian defence and the English fullback waltzes through.
