After a convincing win over the Wallaroos last week, our lasses are taking on Canada in ChCh this afternoon, with kick off a few minutes ago.

BFs now leading 7 - 0 through a try to the sensational 18 year-old Sorensen-McGee

Canada's forwards look like they could cause issues later on. Can we run them off their feet?

So many of these players (both sides) have 2 dads.

Gee, our ball retention in the tackle is shite.

Both teams are committing heaps of turnovers but both teams are trying to play attacking rugby

Our scrum walked them back off the ball but they got a penalty

Evidently we drove upwards and not straight thru. Allegedly.

I thought we had also destroyed the scrum and they went up

She is not held in tackle, never releases the ball, then propels herself forward a second time, yet the try is given. Weird call there.

Brilliant passage of play by the BFs, conversion to win the game.

27 - 27 draw, a great game by both teams

I only got to watch the first half of the BFs vs USA, with BFs leading 34 - 12 or so, then they absolutely cut loose in the second half it seems, winnign 79 - 12.

Portia WW racked up 7 tries and Vahaakolo getting four.

Wondering if du Plessis gets dropped after the last two games? Waaka and Setefano distributing well, themselves excellent attackers as well. Miller acts like a great link as (can't think of any other back row passing). I think Pouri-Lane should start all the next ones to get used to playing with forwards. Quicker service helped, but sometimes looked a bit unsure who to go go.
