Thank you for the info. We can't receive those channels here in IE sadly.

But you also don't pay a license fee, so, swings and roundabouts.

[Dunbar]

This should be a useful indicator to gauge the standards of the Northern and Southern hemisphere teams.

[unapologetic pedant]

Couldn`t quite work out from the forecast whether a band of wet and wild weather will hit York. Or at what time.

Might be a leveller for both of today`s games. Then again, might not.

I don't know whether that's the reason for the geo-blocking of the iPlayer outside the UK.

[Chrispmartha]

Don't Women's teams down under only play 70 minutes and with a smaller sized playing ball?

That might give the NH teams a small advantage

[unapologetic pedant]

Lois Forsell said yesterday that the RU women`s WC happening at the same time might affect the Kiwi Ferns.

Er... Why?

[Spidey]

Well, Autumn-Rain Stephens Daly is probably the longest name I’ve seen in a while 

[dunno much]

Why have the Women got 3 games in 8 days, that’s a big ask isn’t it?

Try following the Cricket - one of the regular pundits is Ebony-Jewel Cora-Lee Camellia Rosamond Rainford-Brent.

[MatthewWoody]

France better than I expected. 

[jacksy]

Good game this

The French are really playing well.

[MatthewWoody]

And now they force NZ into a new set 

[gingerjon]

Be surprised if France can keep this up all game but another good match this.

[Padge]

Taken NZ 24 minutes to score, I bet they didn't expect that.

 

[graveyard johnny]

some great skills on show

[jacksy]

We do ourselves no favours do we?

She just said "a simple passing move".

There is more to that try than simple passing.

Should be about preparation, shape and movement creating the opportunity.

Our commentators don't explain the intricacies of our game well enough.

So we end up looking like a game of draughts rather than a game of chess. 

Our rules maybe simple but the game is not.
