    Yeah some real question marks over the selections.

    Souness is not up to it at either C or WA but is a pet of Noels so always plays. Toeava carved up Aus twice as a WA but can't make the squad.

      I didn't see the game but losing means they play England in the SF (due to their upset win over Aust), so that might be a better outcome. I'm not saying NZ will win that either...

          As I said, beating them is no certainty.

          My point was that prior to the WC the talk was winning the group to avoid Aust in the SF. We've done that, but only due to Jamaica and England winning their big games.

          Anyway, Crampton should have a good combination with Wilson so needs to play ahead of Souness. It looks like the problem was at the other end in stopping Fowler. Jury should have played GK.

              Put your tallest defender on her. The tactics were obviously to restrict the feed to Fowler, but that must have backfired spectacularly when you compare the goal attempts.

                Do we have anyone close to her height?

                  Jury. She is 1.92 m, compared to Watson (1.81 m) and Burger (1.84 m).

                    Jury also wasn't particularly effective at Wing D vs either South Africa or Jamaica.

                        Nice first half Ferns. Crampton at WA Burger at WD and Jury/Karaka in the circle is going well

                            Extremely defensive game. Nothing in it.

                                  Is this a young team? Some really panicky moments. At the end of the 3rd quarter, 40s to play, just take it easy and get the goal to go in 2 up. Instead they play as if they're 5 down, rush it and turn it over to go into the break evens. Rife with play like that.

                                    Just a lacklustre campaign, which IMHO started from the player selections. Losing Grace was a body blow. But a loss to Jamaica and a draw to SA, it's fair to say we never deserved to make it

                                      @Bones Ferns gun goal shoot is injured. Probably one of the best 3 players in the world.

                                      Given that lineup that was a bloody good effort by the Ferns.

                                      Taking bias out of it good to see an undefeated team make the final and not the team who drew one and lost one coming in to the semi

                                          Can't help but think how much better our attack would have been with Toeava zipping passes into the shooting circle
