[moorside roughyed]

Not looking good

[Chrispmartha]

To big too strong and skilful, all that defensive effort has taken its toll unfortunately

 

were playing too much one out, going to have to try something different

People? Maybe a couple, that's all 

The whingeing's not as relentless as when the men's side play under an Aussie ref... but that's probably because there's a certain subset of this forum who don't hold with women playing RL (or having jobs, or the vote), so aren't posting on here.

And a disappointing Ferns try follows a great one.

[redjonn]

Too easy for NZ now. England have dropped off now, maybe too tired now given the physical differences.

If in the tackle the ball comes loose and hits an opposition player and you regather its a knock-on, having said that it was punched out by NZ.

Did you read what I wrote?

Shocking last play. England’s structure has been poor tonight.

s with the men, they are being put under real pressure for the first time.

[Midlands hobo]

That's it

England’s only score came off an incorrect touchline decision, and people are saying the ref is siding with NZ

You need to go to specsavers pal.

Or alternatively, rewind the game and pause it right on were the ball touches the line as the aussie taps it back in field.

[Niels]

2 great tries.

We said the right centre for NZ had a good game last time against Australia.

 

[SUPERSTUD]

He finally puts Holly Dodd on.

Wouldn't that be the TJ?

Yes it was a knock on rather than in touch so the wrong restart but that's being a bit petty don't you think?

Not to mention her foot being in touch as well.

Sadly, I think you are right. We're just not "together" for want of a better word.

Thought she was too busy busting England tackles!

[GeordieSaint]

Clark - the NZ 23 - is excellent.

[Just Browny]

Looking a bit forlorn now. Not enough bodies in motion when we've got the ball so NZ can just concentrate on the ball carrier. Roche and Winfield-Hill have been very quiet since that opening spell.

The main difference though is that NZ have got bigger players than us and are no less agile and skilful for that extra size.

[Stuff Smith]

We need to score next. There is still hope!

He is wrong anyway.  It was a correct call by touchie.

[SUPERSTUD]

Courtney not on it tonight.

It was in touch i just looked in slo-mo. He is wrong.

[Man of Kent]

Poor. The fourth tackle play should have gone to Goldthorp and the last play, well…

[JohnM]

Mistakes: That's what happens when the opposition dominate.

[muckymunksy]

Can see why they don’t get paid now.
