Two games played at the Totally Wicked from 2019 are worth drawing attention to.

CC semi - Saints 10 Leeds 16 (Saints were 8-0 and 10-4 up)

WSL semi - Saints 14 Leeds 18 (Saints were 14-0 up).

Saints are stronger this year, but their memories will tell them that Leeds are adept at pulling victory out of the fire.

Leeds also have a record of delivering in finals as demonstrated against Cas in both the above competitions.

Saints are a totally different team now, hopefully they will bring it home like the men did last night

Can't really see past Saints on this one as I think they are better 1 to 17 but looking forward to it and hoping for a competitive game.

They`re not totally different in terms of personnel. It`s much the same team as in 2019. Amy Hardcastle is the only major addition. 

And they`ve been minus Faye Gaskin since the CC semi after her ill-advised try celebration.

A nice healthy crowd in the main stand.

The kicking game from Hill is probably the key variable in this game.  Saints are used to dominating field position and play... if Hill can keep them pinged back with a good kicking game and strong chase then Leeds have a good chance.

Ashamed to say I haven't seen any of the 'wimmin's game' (copyright @JohnM) this year. Pleased to see a sunny day and a decent turnout for it.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

I haven’t seen much this year seems to be a really good standard. 

In my view, it's improving rapidly year on year.

Just turned the TV on and was struck by how good a turn out it is.

And we've even had the old crowd pleaser of the ref falling over.

Think there are a few games on there today but even so good turn out as you say.

Harris is only very slight but technically a superb player... her passing is excellent and that's a good short kick.
