Classic maul try.

Classic maul try.

Great execution but too easy.

A shame. Spain had defended valiantly up to that point.

@Bones Because some people are colour blind apparently and can't tell the difference between Black and Red.

Woke tosh.

My cousin's best friend's mother's wife is colourblind and a big fan of Ireland in this match.

Big injury to Olsen-Baker.

That could be it for her tournament.

@sparky said in Womens RWC 2025:

Big injury to one of the BFs. Olsen-Baker?

Looks like she could do with some green whistle at least, geez

[Victor Meldrew]

BFs down to 14 - used up all their subs.

[Bones]

This Spain team will be affected by cramp as they've run so much in this game. In mildly warm weather. Played in Europe.

Of course the BFs don't get a mention for not going down for cramp as they are immune.

[sparky]

Leti-Inga scores a double.

[Bones]

Who is no 18 for NZ and what relation are they to Lowe/Itoje?

[sparky]

Nice break by Holmes to set up Portia Woodman for RWC try number 21.

[Bones]

Holmes just keeps on keeping on. Marry me

[sparky]

47-3. Spanish team look out on their feet.

[sparky]

NZ down to 13. Leta-Inga has walked off.

[sparky]

Apparently playing against only 13 makes it easier for Spain.

This commentary team are full of sharp insights.

[sparky]

"The Spanish team and their fans have added to this occasion."

Without them it would an unopposed training run and not a rugby match I suppose.

[Bones]

"Brazier, kicks deep"

The ball bounces just outside the intersection of the 40m and touch lines.

[sparky]

Good work by the NZ heavies to suck in defenders and Setefano scores.

50 up.

[sparky]

Five minutes left. Credit to the crowd for not heading to the car park yet. I would.

[sparky]

Great counter rucking by the Spanish half back. Saved a near certain try.

[Bones]

Brazier is astonishingly bad, the reason why there's not another 20-30 on NZ's total I'd say. Can't even throw a fucking basic 2-3m pass. What's the story with why she's still there?

She makes BB look like a superstar.
