@Dan54 think you only need to look at how much Stacey Fluhler seems to enjoy herself to see what it still means to these girls.
Not that it doesnt mean an awful lot to the men, its just sometimes I think they forget they are playing the game they are meant to love (similarly us as fans, we are meant to enjoy watching it)
I’m not sure if the ABs read the Fern or not but I thought the post try celebrations against Wales seemed more joyous. And not in a rah rah sort of way, but genuine happiness in the moment of what just happened, especially that first Taylor try and then the Aaron Smith try.

@ACT-Crusader not to derail the thread but not playing well (and losing) will no doubt affect confidence and ability to enjoy the game...if they are enjoying it, they tend to be more relaxed and make less errors and then will win.
I listened to Enoka speak a few weeks back and these guys are feeling the heat, no matter how hard they try to ignore the noise.

Amen taniwha, one of the reasons I try not to hung up on results (though I obviously like my team winnng) and have found I get great enjoyment over the moments in games? Hard to explain, but I really enjoy seeing a sweetly timed pass, signs of good vision, and someone who makes a tackle or good play, and then gets to feet to make himself available in defence or attack etc. Just find these days where I get probably most enjoyment, I know it probably just me , but I look for the positives in any game I watch, notice the cock ups , but don't let them decide a game if I can help it.
Not just you.
Not reading the Fern during a game helps, too!

Yep. Kept way away then made the mistake of reading it later and commenting on the comments.
Think I'll just stick to my own enjoyment on the final (not that I think I will be calm enough to post).
Should be a sweep of the Halbergs if they pull this off. -
@Crucial me too!
There is a watch party arranged at the Cabbage Patch in Twickenham for the final which should be ace.
There will be England reps there but I hope some ex Black Ferns who live in London show up as it would be super cool to present it to one of them
Should be a great way to watch and I hope a few more kiwis make it. I will be there with the real Utrecht Shield
