Rugby World Cup 2021

So different to the mens game. It would seem as soon as you get a rolling maul going from a lineout even 10 metres out you're guaranteed a try

 

[fucthest8]

Crowd seems into it, too

Yeah, they like a bit of Rugby in NZ

This is exhausting. I do fear for our ability to hold out another 40 down to 14 women, but fucking hell they are doing a good job so far

Is there an English player called Cocaine? Or have i been mishearing that?

 

[two sheds]

Good line player.

Amy Cokayne. Flight Lieutenant to you

If you are England or New Zealand, yes.

If you are playing against either of them then generally, no.

The first one NZ scored off, we did not defend well at all. Second one was the extra woman showing

Rolling maul tries are a huge part of the mens game at present and there are a few club teams who dominate even more so than England.

Wait till you find out what position she plays

 

[Petcha]

The NZ backs are unreal. They step like 7s players.

The NZ backs are unreal. They step like 7s players.

Until recently it was common for the players to jump between codes; sometimes following where the funding was

 

[Petcha]

So England are a one trick pony then? They have nothing except that rolling maul by the looks.

 

[Elpenor]

Far from it but with 14 players on the pitch from early on you’re going to have to adjust your game plan and conserve energy

Sadia Kabeya, no 21 has come on, South London’s finest, she will tackle all day and the breakdown seems tidier already

I've not seen any back play from them at all. Great forward pack but thats it, based on this match anyway. If you're going to lose a player to a red card, arguably one of your wingers is the easiest one to lose.

 

[Elpenor]

Obviously missed England’s first try then prior to the red

 

[two sheds]

and NZ with five backs across the pitch at a scrum against England's four looks ominous

Yeah they are a huge threat out wide even with a full team.

England’s best hope is to play a territory game.

 

[Elpenor]

14 a side for a bit now, and a chance to gain some crucial territory

 

[Petcha]

Cant believe the medics let that player stay on. She looked completely dazed.

Agreed. She has to go off

 

[fucthest8]

Ah, good, she has

You've watched one game, shut the fuck up

 

[Elpenor]

Bollocks, think that could be the game. England really needed to get a try during the sin binning.

 

[fucthest8]

Lovely kick through though, perfectly weighted.

 

[Petcha]

You've watched one game, shut the fuck up

Well I do know my rugby. I dont think you can blame losing a winger for not utilising your backline whatsoever. So. With respect. Shut the fuck up.

 

[fucthest8]

Stacey Fluhlers smile is undeniable though

 

[Petcha]

NZ would be out of sight with a decent kicker

 

[two sheds]

NZ look dangerous every time the backs get the ball. They look dangerous every time the forwards get the ball tbh, too.

 

[Elpenor]

I’m sure England had penalty advantage before they were pinged for not releasing…

 

[fucthest8]

You've watched ONE game. You know FUCK ALL about this team

 

[Elpenor]

Fucksticks, they really played their heart out with 14 and I’m so proud of the Red Roses
