Don’t think we were winning that without the red card. Nevertheless well done. Fluhler is fantastic. DC was a great 10 but he is a shît goal kicking coach. We need to learn how to defend a maul.
Women can barely kick 30ms. He'd need a doctorate in bionics to improve their kicking.
Sorry to read you didn’t get to watch the final. It was a great game. Distance wasn’t the problem, accuracy was.

@Billy-Tell Yep. The commentators said that Holmes was nailing her kicks at goal from 50m during warm-up. I think she missed so many kicks because of the pressure; not because the kicks were too hard.

Most of the kicks (except one duff one) were close. Minor technical problem that was creating a late hook to the left.
If you were at practice and lining them up one after another you’d fix it quickly but you don’t get that luxury in a game. -

I just think she didn’t have the experience to work through a fix on the spot.

Bloody tough when you're in it. I guess she could get pointers at half time but it's difficult to make changes on the fly

Not often, but that's just coaching and practice.
Kick offs no problem

Just had a quick squizz back at the end of the game again.
And I'm not sure if it has been raised, but fuck it was karma for slowing the game down.
You know those teams that take an injury break to rest their oversized pack?
If England hadn't taken a breather and just formed and threw that lineout the TMO would never have looked at Demant not touching that kick that went out in the full, and Leti-i'iga wouldn't have scored.
Karma suckers.

Go back to the 1950s with your outdated chauvinistic views. We know you don’t like women’s rugby, you’ve already posted such, go piss in another thread. Ideally one where you’ve actually watched the game.

So what is your point exactly? I'd love to see the stats for stoppage times because the game seemed to flow better than most men's games I've seen for a while. The skills on show were very impressive, capped off by the BFs version of the try from the end of the world. Of course you would know this if you watched the game....

I haven't searched for them but there were some ball in play stats being thrown around for both the semis and final and they were well above the average mens test comparison.. Around 6-8% off the top of my head

Never said anything about skills other than kicking. In reference to DC being a shit coach. Of course you'd know this if you read what I wrote...
-
DC wasn't the kicking coach. He came to camp and did a couple of sessions and gave out some tips. If he was kicking coach there would have been full on golf swing analysis, mental coaching (which they had, but specifically to kicking).
He would have pointed out a few obvious things to take stuff up a notch.
Can't blame him for a few misses. He actually improved Holmes' tee kicking quite a bit with those tips. She was a much better kicker at the end of the tournament than when she started.
It is fair to say that not a lot of kick coaching is done at FPC levels. It often comes down to inviduals putting their hand up and doing extras after training. Just like mens teams used to be. -
Never said he was a kicking coach either. I was responding to the fact he was labelled as such.

Just like mens teams used to be.@Crucial as I mentioned a few weeks back, it isnt so much the kicking that is the issue, its the distance from the foot, and suggested they could probably have a slightly smaller/lighter ball (like a 4.5) but @Stargazer said this was looked at a year or 2 back and they decided to leave as is.
When you watch the last 2 games of the BFs it seemed clear that less kicking was a tactic, especially against England where a kick would often not get past the 22, meaning England would then have an attacking lineout with thier maul, so keeping it away from there was paramount.
