Black Ferns v USA (Pacific Four)

[Stargazer]

Mikaele-Tu'u sent to the bin for repeated (team) infringing. Ferns down to 13.

Haha, and the USA don't back themselves and go for a kick at goal.

[Stargazer]

5 - 17 USA

Well, I think it's going to be tough from here. Red card was hard to argue with, But agee with @Stargazer no way did the girl take the tap before second try. I not even sure why Bunting isn't putting on a 9, this 10 is struggling to adapt.

[Yeetyaah]

Arihiana is on at 21 so should hopefully bring some level headedness at halfback

[Stargazer]

Demant shouldn't have kicked that, but she probably did because she's not fast enough.

[Yeetyaah]

Replacement players having a great impact

[Stargazer]

Try to Marino-Tauhinu, converted by Holmes.

12 - 17 USA

[Stargazer]

Penalty goal Renee Holmes.

15 - 17 USA

[Steven Harris]

Been a good test to see how the team performs under duress just need to be a little more composed ,just looking a bit frantic at times

[Steven Harris]

Classic example right there,could have kept it in the scrum and pulled a penalty

[Stargazer]

The experience of the NZ bench has made a huge difference. Many of the starters were rookies.

[Stargazer]

Typical frontrow try to Pip Love. Fantastic kick from Holmes to convert it.

22 - 17 NZ

[Steven Harris]

Why do you have to use the ball at scrumtime when you are clearly moving forward..?

[Yeetyaah]

Shit that was good from Mikaele-Tu'u

[Davesofthunder]

Shit, didn't realise this was on at this time and it is a Utrecht Shield match which could change hands!

[Stargazer]

LMT's try is converted by Holmes.

29 - 17 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try to Demant. Not converted.

34 - 17 NZ

The natural order is restored.

[Yeetyaah]

Ruahei named POTM after coming on at the 30th minute.

[Steven Harris]

34 unanswered points with in the 2nd half is very impressive from the BFs especially after being down to 14 after a couple of minutes

[Stargazer]

Try to Amy du Plessis. Not converted.

Full time: New Zealand 39 - 17 USA
