So the England midfield change is apparently bringing a second playmaker in at 12. Maybe a ploy to try and throw Smith’s expectations and analysis out or because they are now missing a second playmaker/tactical kicker with the regular 15 injured.
Some UK scribes hinting that they may play wider a bit more but I am not sure. Taking the ball away from the pack into potential turnover space would be risky.

Changing their game plan would potentially play into our hands

Maybe there was a strategy for the tournament of not showing much until the final? They did try a few things in the semi.
I would love it if they took the ball wide. Our Sevens players are all trained well at claiming turnovers.

Keeping the powder dry?

Lots of empty seats considering I couldn't get tickets!

[Bovidae]

The only prediction I am making is that there will be tears tonight. Let's just hope they are the right kind.

Remember guys.....don't take it too seriously, enjoy the crowd spirit and the entertainment (Crucial)

[voodoo]

They comms just said our girls possess a unique strength and spirit. That's cool. The England girls must be gutted that they don't have that too.

Someone who can sing would also be good

[canefan]

The anthem sung without music. Spine tingling

[canefan]

The crowd is loud. Should be great fun

[Stargazer]

I love the noise of the crowd!

[KiwiMurph]
