Nah that's a team with ABs in the name, no lightening here!

[Bones]

Such a lacklustre performance which we see far too often in crunch games in recent times. Really lackadaisical with the ball and happy to take contact and turn it over.

[Bovidae]

Ugly.

Murphy was so lax policing the breakdowns compared to other games I watched today. That wasn't the winning and losing of the game but it is frustrating to watch.

[Machpants]

Go Wales! But that's it really, might as well send out a b team to prevent injuries vs Kenya

[Bovidae]

11.51 am NZT tomorrow in the women's comp (NZ vs Eng).

Yeah it's even more of a lottery (especially for lower ranked sides) in the women's comp. Watching England Vs Russia or Japan, can't remember but England go through a long series of possession, sealing off at over half the rucks, then other team gets a turnover and gets pinged for sealing off at the first ruck when it didn't even happen.

[Stargazer]

It's not going well with the BF7s. They're trailing England 7 - 12 at half time and are playing without Tui (but with Nathan-Wong).

England are looking good.

[Stargazer]

Great break and lots of speed from Fluhler. Try Williams.

14 - 12 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Big mistake from the English player - pressure from Williams was too much - and Fitzpatrick scores the next try.

This half is much better; the English seem to tire faster.

21 - 12 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Speeeeeeeeeeeed! Fluhler scores in the corner.

Why did I worry?

26 - 12 BF7s

[Davesofthunder]

Excellent response and hustle from the BF7s to be fair.

I do enjoy how far the womens game has come in recent years, some great players in there.

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 26 - 12 England

BF7s through to the Cup semis.

[Bovidae]

I am not sure why they weren't trying to put Blyde in a one-on-one situation on the outside instead of her cutting back infield all of the time. Broughton was great off the bench.

Maybe the caught some slackness off the men's team? That would be a worry

[Stargazer]

@Machpants No, I actually think they're playing very smart rugby, considering the conditions. Just like yesterday (very obvious against Japan), they seem to try saving energy during the first half, only to pounce during the second half and get a good win.
