Nice work to put the winger Paul over.

33-21 kick misses.

Grubber might have been the better option there

[Steven Harris]

Good we are seeing a contest , suspect the Ferns may lay on a few more tries before games end

[Donsteppa]

The Black Ferns should go on to win this. But the sheer effort and determination shown by the Canadian players has been impressive. Whatever the result, they look like the sort of players who will never need to wonder "what if?" later on.

38 21, but checking knock on. Should ok ...

[booboo]

Looks good

Try stands

[Mattasaurus]

Few grass burns showing on the knees from the turf

[booboo]

Kick is good. 40-21

[Steven Harris]

Canadian 8 is a very good player

[Mattasaurus]

Not sure of her name Lucy Jenkins #19 for the Ferns has been busy since coming on (no sound here)

Her Dad was quite handy back in the day.

Jenkins looks a very good athlete

@booboo played back in the 90s from what I recall , the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree , I was really impressed with De Goede ,her work rate and the ability to deal with the ball from a retreating scrum , there’s a few male players I have seen over the years that can’t control the ball at the back of a dominant scrum .lol
Chuck in goal kicking as well .

Hans was skipper at RWC87

I watched the 1st half live and the 2nd half this afternoon. As others have said , it was good to see Canada take it to the BFs. They were very unlucky to lose to England in the SF at the RWC, so are a good team.

The game against USA will be a route. du Plessis looks to lack some top end speed.

But she runs a very good line and her support play was very good.

@ACT-Crusader I'll be interested to see how Grace Brooker goes.
