Great, so 20 blokes on a rugby forum is a reflection of the wider populous? It's actually unreal in an effort to stay woke people refuse to admit the ladies game is inferior. Hopefully they get their equal footing but right now no one gives a shit.
I never said that. I was simply pointing out that you were incorrect. Also, I am not woke
So the women's game is as popular as men's?

"Quite a few actually." - let me guess, big fans, always have been? Like the fuck all up until the RWC?
Personally I have very little interest in ladies rugby. However there are people on TSF who are interested and have been for some time
For instance here is all the Black Ferns threads: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/tags/blackferns
Or this years female Super Rugby: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/tags/aupiki
I'm sure not every thread has been tagged correctly either. Plus there's been discussion of 7's and the NPC for years too

It still has feck all to do with the fact women cannot kick the ball as far as men. Which is what my original comment was about.
@Joans-Town-Jones You could start by not calling us woke people. I like women's rugby not because I'm woke, but because I like all different forms of the code, women's, men's U20s, school's, sevens.
I also don't think it's an inferior product. It's a different product, that you can like or not like, just like bantam weight boxing is a different product from heavy weight boxing, or the different weight classes in other fight sports, or the different car classes in racing, the different distances in swimming or rowing.
And no, some blokes on a rugby forum isn't a reflection of the wider population. In the wider population, women's rugby probably has more support, because that wider population also includes women and, generally, people who enjoy the sport withouth joing a forum. And no, I'm not saying the women's game is as popular as men's, but it's popularity is growing pretty fast.

Yeah na, it's not like bantam vs heavy weight at all. It's like men's heavy weight vs women's heavy weight.

I was correcting a specific, and completely incorrect, point you made
You are putting words in my mouth and claiming I have said something I haven't. It's painfully dumb or a troll

That's been obvious for months. I've never been sure why people keep engaging.

Hmmm...
What I take away from that is yes there were some great players from many teams but the Ferns were the team that played as a team and had that connection with each other

I take that they made up a random team to try and please readers.
No way would I have Demant as 10. The England player was better.
As much as I love Ruby, Portia needs to be in there.Your comment is correct though

Tui is faster than Woodman.
Woodman has only looked good against lesser opponents. Against the big two (England and France) she has been ineffective in the past. I was getting my hopes up when she started running in the final but unfortunately she got knocked out.Tui is the far better winger for the big teams. That try she scored vs France was one of the best in the World Cup. Woodman simply doesn’t have that out and out pace that Tui has. Tui’s defence is also far better than Woodman’s.
Having said that, Woodman obviously deserved her starting spot in the knockouts but I wasn’t at all worried with her replacement (Leti-Iiga) who was excellent this year.

England winger Lydia Thompson appeared before an independent judicial committee on Monday, 21 November having received a red card in the Rugby World Cup 2021 final on 12 November, 2022. The red card was awarded for an offence pursuant to Law 9.13 (Dangerous tackle).
The player accepted that she had committed the act of foul play and that the offence was worthy of a red card. Having considered the player’s evidence and reviewed the clips, the Committee applied World Rugby’s mandatory minimum mid-range entry point for foul play resulting in contact with the head. This resulted in a starting point of a six match suspension.
The Committee took into consideration the mitigating factors and decided that the player was entitled to the full mitigation available (three matches). The Committee decided there were no aggravating factors and therefore the final sanction was a three-match suspension.
The player is therefore suspended for the following matches:- Worcester Women v Wasps Women – 17 December, 2022
- Worcester Women v DMP Sharks – 31 December, 2022
- Worcester Women v Gloucester-Hartpury – 7 January, 2023*
*The player may apply to take part in the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme to substitute the final match of the sanction for a coaching intervention aimed at modifying specific techniques and technical issues that contributed to the foul play.
