    A fair bit of combination testing in there as well.
    Roos with Ngan Woo
    The loosies.

    Kalounivale gets a redemption opportunity as does Holmes.
    AMT and Tubic should have a ready made combo so this is possibly a bench/backup test.

    Wickliffe is a communicator and brings experience. Possibly there to take some heat off Holmes to get her started again and regain confidence.
    One very weak point we have is kicking. Both from hand and off the tee I cringe whenever Demant has the ball. Tubic and Holmes are probably our better options but neither seem to be starters at the moment.
    I can see an option of one of them starting in big games to have that kicking option early on.

    Scotland for a historic win.

    Same thing next month for the men too. This is their year.

    @KiwiMurph is a shame so many seats in the main stand are empty, when I looked yesterday, there were no doubles available, only single spots...must be those tour group blocks and/or sponsor seats...just walk around town giving them away FFS

    That was a lovely draw and pass. Some ABs could learn a thing or two...

    Did Scotland leave their water bottles just sitting in the middle of the in goal? Both dangerous and ominous.

    Combinations and connections starting to click for the ferns , like the little bits of off the ball running which has created the overlap .
    Playing right on the advantage line , hard to defend especially when the ball is quick

    I like how the ref was awarding the try before she'd even put it down.
