Futtocks Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 That's a very strong Jillaroos selection. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleD Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 This is now being shown on Sky sports in the UK. Great news and a big step. I think it’s the first women’s RL game that’s been showed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmduck Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Quote The New Zealand Kiwi Ferns play host to World Cup champions the Jillaroos at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday in the first and only battle between the two nations in 2018. With no Nines tournament or mid-season Test match this year, players from both sides have been kept busy with State of Origin and the NRL Holden Women's Premiership. But now they get another taste of international rugby league. https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/10/09/new-zealand-kiwi-ferns-v-australia-jillaroos-preview/ New Zealand Kiwi Ferns v Australia Jillaroos, Saturday, October 13, 3pm (5pm AEST) Venue: Mt Smart Stadium Head-to-head: Played 21; Kiwi Ferns 15 wins, Jillaroos 6 wins Previous result: Jillaroos won 23-16 in the 2017 World Cup final Televised: Live on GEM, Fox League and Sky Sports 2 (NZ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleD Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I thought the ferns did well to get back into it but the Aussies have taken it to another level these days with the fitness and structure. Not sure if it’s a coincidence but the respective male and female teams are very similar in style - the Aussies are very fit and structured in defence whilst the Kiwis are more unstructured, ad-hoc, relying more on power and individual skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ferns used to have the upper hand with their explosive aggression, but the Jillaroos got smart and have dominated recently. So it was gratifying to see the match being this close. The New Zealanders are also benefiting from WNRL. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
