2018 Black Ferns

@kiwimurph Yeah, good to watch. Sad crowd though. This game deserves more.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer Agreed. Make to look worse by such a huge stadium.

[KiwiMurph]

Awful hungus by the kiwi lock. Pass the ball.

[Stargazer]

BFs giving away too many penalties.

[Stargazer]

It's a pity Alena Saili doesn't get more space. The Aussies are marking her closely and rightly so. She's a big, strong wing and a menace if she gets an opportunity.

[Stargazer]

Fa'amausili scores again after a line-out maul!

[Stargazer]

24 - 6 Black Ferns

Plenty of penalties in this game.

Assume Woodman is injured since she isn’t out there?

No, she chose not to play XVs and instead have a rest after a long 7s season. She'll probably play NPC in a few weeks. There are a few other 7s players who made the same choice, for example, Sarah Goss and Kelly Brazier.

[Stargazer]

Hat-trick for Fa'amausli. Awesome that she's come out of retirement in her late thirties to play test rugby professionally. The police can wait.

Black Ferns lead 31 to 6.

[Stargazer]

First try for the Wallaroos. Well-deserved and reflects their effort in this test.

[Stargazer]

Great to see some huge props running well in this game. And I mean really huge.

[Stargazer]

Yellow card for our 19; that was a team yellow.

The Wallaroos' kicker is the LH prop. Just imagine Joe Moody doing the goalkicking for the ABs.

Was a bloke Kjestrup (spelling maybe a letter or two out) used to kick goals for King Country in the 70s. Toe poker.

[Stargazer]

Full time:

Black Ferns 31 - 11 Wallaroos

Well-deserved win for the Black Ferns. Very entertaining game!

[Machpants]

What was the weather like? Hints for ABs?

But well done ladies!

[Stargazer]

@machpants Dry weather; it didn't look slippery from the rain they had earlier today. Don't think there was much wind. Good pitch.

[Machpants]

@stargazer Cheers, Rugby Pass didn't have the game

Normal for a curtain raiser I would have thought.

[Stargazer]

@crazy-horse It wasn't a curtain raiser though. It was a double-header and advertised as such.
