Nice to see that there was also a moment of silence for Sean Wainui before this game.

[Stargazer]

And also honouring him during the haka!

[Stargazer]

That was an impressive driving maul from the English.

[Stargazer]

Great clearing kick from Cocksedge.

[Stargazer]

That was clear obstruction. Alley should have continued though.

[Stargazer]

England winning the physical battles, but BFs attack looks better with great speed. Still 0 all.

[MiketheSnow]

All action

Great watch

[MiketheSnow]

Great try England

[Stargazer]

Great try to the English no. 5. Renee Wickliffe got that wrong, leaving a big hole in the defence.

Yeah that was ridiculous by her, she would probably have still got there first.

Going on the rub of the green so far, I'd guess the ref is English. Great try by England though.

Another good try to the English from the pick 'n go.

The Ferns are struggling against that strong English pack.

12 - 0 England

I know but I'd guess she's English...

Black Ferns 12-0 down after less than 20 minutes. This could get ugly.

[Stargazer]

@sparky Nine debutants and more than 2 years without playing test rugby. I'm not surprised.

Don't like the officiating.

[sparky]

Blacks Ferns keep losing line outs.

[Stargazer]

@sparky They won the last one. Just.

Overall, they're struggling with set piece. Lots of cobwebs.

[sparky]

Still 12-0 after 32 minutes. Great heart from the Black Fern to stay in this.
