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.

That, but the whole of this RWC the refs were consistently ignoring the obstruction; the receiver continually landed and passed it straight back to the ripper prior to defensive contact. I cannot think of one maul formation from the lineout that I would have adjuged legal.

Might have been more comfortable for the Black Ferns had they made their conversions. How many points did they leave out there?
4 or 5 missed kicks?
Just didn't have the range. From the tee or hand

Range wasn't the problem. Direction was.

Some absolute shocking decisions in that game from ref and players but the biggest stupid decision is player of the match to Demant.
Stacey Fluhler deserved that, even blind Freddy would have picked Stacey!
It was Stacey and daylight second.

A couple of kicks dropped just under the posts. Or that's how it looked from up here

Only one was short, the other misses were just outside the post.
Pressure of a WC final aye.

WHAT?!?!? No way they picked Demant. That has to be fake news.

Maybe crucial? I wish he would explain it to us uneducated though.

One shot from just out of the 22 on the angle didn’t even make the goal line.

Watching the BFs win the RWC with CF Sr and mum, and CF Jr. Pretty special
Was actually watching it with Mrs Dan, and I have to say to see her dance around the floor in tears at end has given me much joy. She's only a little thing to but when she leapt into my arms I suddenly remembered how old I was, just about knocked me over! Really good stuff I think!

Coverage here in Oz showed Demant getting the POTM award.

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.
Extremely stupid.

Always a waste of time yelling at the screen.

What is the rule when a maul splinters and they start a new maul with the players in front of the ball acting as a shield? This seemed to happen frequently where they would pivot, splinter and start a new maul.

I was going to ask as well. And it didn't look a thing of beauty.

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.
(I couldn't spell her surname. "Fluhler"
)Just remember "Mein" in front and the rest will flow.

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.

What was frustrating was that after that break/splinter the ref allowed stagnant ball again after already calling “once” in the first part of the drive.
