Dutch dames to make debut

[DoubleD]

 

[unapologetic pedant]

Greece 0 Netherlands 14

Haven't seen the whole game, just dipped in and out. Both teams defensively solid, less impressive on attack. Such is the familiar pattern with new or newish players in women's RL. Bit of a surprise that on their debut, the Dutch looked the more dangerous with the ball. Think the ref was the same bloke who took Serbia v Greece. Recognizably random and incomprehensible calls. Would like to know who selects and approves the officials for fixtures like these.

There was also a curtain-raiser, labelled as Greece A v Netherlands A by the Netherlands RL and Greece B v Netherlands B by the Greek RL. That one finished Greece 0 Netherlands 32.
