Bourdon's kicking from the base has been sh*t and is killing France. 2 successive errors there cough up a try. Thankfully I have to go out now!

Black Ferns have stepped up the tempo thus half. France also paying the price for poor kicking by Bourdon and Drouin and not having a functioning attack.

Her kicking has been off all match, but the pressure on that kick must have been huge. Great game from both teams though.

Like I said above.

Not a stretch to say Sansus's injury in the opening game against Eng has cost Fra a final place. Not that they would have challenged Eng anyway.

Even with a player down the early signs for me are England being too well drilled and strong.

Interesting to see how this plays out. NZ need composure.

NZ can’t defend those mauls.

But that red card should be telling if NZ play it right.

Defensive gaps already showing because of the red card, although that pass looked a bit forward.
