Whos got the inferiority complex?

And with good reason may I just add

You only have to go through this forum to see how you blokes jump on anything that comes up about Australian Rugby League, we’re either not interested, cheating, lucky, insular, blah blah blah 

you don’t see it, you’re desensitised, all I did was laugh at a comment from someone who thinks England is getting anywhere near these two, and I think it’s valid 

I call BS.

This forum is full to the brim of people that worship aussie RL players and still wax lyrical about roos teams and players 

Same goes for origin and the nrl.

We all have our favourite teams, players etc.. so dont talk shiiite.

If you don't like the troll, why do you feed it so generously?

Good question. 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Any danger of a discussion about the rugby match breaking out by mistake?

You might talk up the raw product, but anything about the game as a who,e, the scheduling, the way it’s run etc gets it with both barrels 

The general prejudice against my fine country folk is bordering on “racism” 

[WN83]

Ignoring what I presume is an Aussie looking for a rise, are we a chance against these 2? I’m not close enough to the woman’s game to know. I’ve been hugely impressed with some of our players, like Goldthorpe, Winfield-Hill, Hoyle and Whitfield but tough to make out where we’re at against lesser sides and with my limited knowledge.

Yes, great game. Aussies being put under a lot of pressure.

If NZ can keep it up i think they will win.

[Dave T]

What are you on about Vossy? 

 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Prince Harry seems to be enjoying it.

To be fair, I think the success of Australia is remarkable, considering the disadvantages facing them.

There’a nothing on show so far in this game to be afraid of. England won’t have the room out wide that they did against PNG. But their shape and forwards will cause these issues

I dont know enough either. Been impressed with the English girls.

The girls are amateur afterall so we really are up against it.

However, you never know.

No. Australian isn't a race.

I am more encouraged tonight than I wad before.  The English are physically competitive and fit enough.  I am not saying they will win a semi but they would put up a good show.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

England have improved dramatically and anyone will have to work hard and play well to beat us, but I can’t see Australia making this many mistakes again and despite the Kiwis immense performance so far tonight I’d rather meet them in the semis

Not sure what’s so controversial about saying this. I doubt our resident Aussie on this thread is actually watching the game

I'm not convinced he's an Aussie, for a start.

[Dave T]

The replay didn't confirm the winger was offside at all.

I think it was actually the inside player encroaching the 10

[WN83]

Cheers for the replies. All we can ask is they give it a good go and try and overcome some of the advantages these players have. It’s developing the game over here for the woman and it’ll take time. I’m convinced some of our side will cause either of these issues though, even if we don’t get the win. I’ve been really impressed with a couple of our props especially. 

[johnh1]

I didn't see anyone off side.

Yes, I agree. Vossy ain't havibg his best game, a little like some of these players!

You probably didn’t notice the inverted commas 

[Dunbar]

Amber Hall is a great player and destructive with and without the ball.  But she does have a habit of pushing the player playing the ball when she is stood at marker.

Should be pulled up for that I think.

[Dave T]

Nice try, that's been coming too.
