Feel for the English players that have 2 silvers now.

Demant POTM? Really? Did Black 13 have to leave early or something?

13 for me as well, that try from her dummy was out of this world.

How was Alphonse been here the whole world cup and thinks Ngan-Woo is Nagawoo

Well spoken by English captain

Demant spoke well too.

A bit dusty in here, listening to that.

Hunter put in a huge shift. A couple of poor tactical decisions but it was clear that both sides were feeling the pressure and fair enough it’s a RWC final.

They should’ve ran a couple of plays for their fullback, changed the point of attack - she’s got real wheels.

Fair play, the English captain is a better-looking Winston Churchill.

Young Winston or WW2 era?

In terms of speaking, quite a rousing speaker. So probably early WWII.

[Stargazer]

That's the Black Ferns' 6th win in a RWC Final!

That's incredible.

[His Bobness]

Might have been more comfortable for the Black Ferns had they made their conversions. How many points did they leave out there?

(I couldn't spell her surname. "Fluhler" )

4 or 5 missed kicks?

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia easier to speak as a winner though I think.

Just didn't have the range. From the tee or hand

[chimoaus]

I must admit to yelling at the screen when they took the tap instead of kicking for touch and milking the clock. That choice almost cost them the game.

The ref helped the poms with their mauls. If we can combat it they will have to think of something else to do. England are so limited. Run it up a couple of times and kick it back to us

Extremely stupid.

[Bovidae]

I thought that a couple of moments of madness from Demant was going to cost the BFs.

A great game to watch, and that's what happens when you challenge a 5 m lineout.

Well done girls. Fitzpatrick remains the good luck charm.

Just remember "Mein" in front and the rest will flow.

England captain thinks they left no stone unturned.

Good news then, they don't think that rugby can be played any other way than to just maul.

Running it up to close to the ruck almost cost us too. Should have gone wide

They do need to look at mauls. Don't mind a contrast of styles at all but a maul every 5 minutes? Also seems an adjudicational lottery to me and not a fair contest of the ball.

Yep I agree.

The issue isn't the idea of the mauls, its that the laws need tweaking/better enforcement.

The movement to the side where the mall spins, the players break their bind and change the point of attack is the one they should stop.
