    After a loose start we have played well. I haven't seen France to know the size of the challenge in front of us. But if our pack fronts up and we can get our backs enough ball on attack we can trouble anyone on our day

    Woodman is in rampant form right now. Almost scored a ridiculous solo try after the hooter

    Tough experience for the Welsh girls. I hope they can have a big night out before they hop on a plane and then a safe journey home.

    Yeah. But the manner of the performance was very promising

    Black Ferns hitting top form going into the Semis. France and England will be nervous.

    Too many loose passes and crazy off loads in this half. BFs need to tidy up that area. Standing too wide and flinging hopeful passes, more practice on the catch and pass and attention to detail.

    We are up by so many that it’s not surprising we are pushing it a bit more. There is space.

    @ACT-Crusader Yes, true. Space will be much more restricted v France though and dare I say it England. Both teams will try to suffocate the game and take control that way. If the BFs can play their natural free-flowing game, and front up on D they will win.

    @Jailbreak7 France play a similar style to us, so that could get into a bit of scoring fest. England want to use set piece and forward dominance along with their linking game to win

    This scrum! Rope a dope in the first game?

    Massive improvement over the last couple of weeks

    Isn't Mike Cron with the team now?

    Portia Woodman seems to be playing a different game to all the other players out there. She runs like her Dad.

    Great game much better skills than the Tokyo curtain raiser. Think I have witnessed a AB team that is well coached versus one that is not

    The BFs scored some sweet tries in this game, e.g., Woodman's in the 2nd half. You can see skills of the sevens women when the ball goes wide.

    The SF against France will be dependent on how the forwards perform. On the EOYT the BFs were suffocated and the backs never had any front-foot ball.

    Expected result with some beautiful rugby played.

    One bright spot for Wales, Jasmine Joyce (15) could well be pound for pound player in Women's rugby. Hard as old boots.

    @MiketheSnow yep. She stopped Woodman in pretty much full flow a couple of times

    Main diff between mens and womens game is that the BFs really enjoy themselves out there, all smiles and really want to play for each other.. Shot of the bench showed teamates relaxed and having fun. Think the mens game has lost that spark and energy somewhere. Weight of Expectation? Too serious, need to lighten up and play with more freedom and the passes will stick.
