Black Ferns v France, RWC Semi Final

[Damo]

YC I think. She needed to let her down more gently. Can't dump her like that.

[KiwiMurph]

TMO fucking hell.

@Stargazer more so she hit the ground on her neck first

Over the horizontal. Clearly.

Yeah I thought it was fine at first, but fuck knows how they watch that and conclude that's not above horizontal - she landed clearly on her upper back. Morons

@KiwiMurph who would you have picked ..?, for me i would have picked Kenndy Simon much more physical Sarah Hirini has been missing in action

[kiwiinmelb]

Need a try to lift their spirit

[Toddy]

Penalty is fair I reckon

Tui at 15 and not Cocksedge at 9 to start with. Yeah need Simon's physicality.

[Damo]

Straight off feet. I thought for a second ref was going to let that go.

[taniwharugby]

Half-time can't come soon enough...need to reset make a couple of.changes and calm down.

[booboo]

They're pretty liberal with straightness of the lineouts

[taniwharugby]

@booboo and foul play

[booboo]

Oops, realised I'm 10 mins behind. Currently 0-10 in booboo world

[kiwiinmelb]

Some good rugby through all that by both teams

[Toddy]

The French D is awesome

[Damo]

I'm not complaining, but that was an absurdly long advantage.

[Crazy Horse]

Are they 40 minute halves?

[Stargazer]

@Crazy-Horse Yes, of course.

[kiwiinmelb]

Some positive signs , momentum shift

[antipodean]

This new held up rule is a shit stain on the concept of rewarding attacking play.
