Well the 2nd half we need to play a hit smarter and cut the errors, especially in our 22.

That was an amazing period of play starting on our own goal line
We do look good when we shift it.

Yes we are quite shifty.

All joking aside, these mauls are a bit of a worry. Is that 4 or 5 tries from mauls in this half?

@Damo 3 for England 2 for us.

Given we are hell bent on running it from everywhere, losing Woodman was a big blow

Replacement is handy

Double edged sword to some extent, her replacement has gone well (though acknowledging that drop), and the red card does give us extra space. Especially against tiring legs later. Fingers crossed...

If England are smart here they'll scrum for penalty
The tap was not the option.

I reckon it was, we just don't expect reliable players like Fitzy to drop it cold. We'd already made more ground than a kick would have and had the England defence fractured.
-
One technical difference that I've noticed from the men's mauls is that the women don't seem to have their shorts pulled down as much. And until we have equality I am not going to be a fan of the maul in the women's game.

@Tordah seems more how they are (or aren't in most cases) refereed
-
On balance and given the run of play, the Black Ferns should be reasonably happy with this scoreline getting towards halftime. England might start getting a little bit nervous...

I think this is right. England might well blow up.a bit in the last twenty minutes.
-
45 points in the first half and a converted try the difference.
Crazy stuff.
All those nervous nellies saying we are in for a long night, are choking, overawed - 80 minute game you eggs
We might have a little bit of wind in the second half so if we kick just a little longer this half we can use our pace and interplay to create chances.
-
England are extremely ruthless and efficient given they have 14 on the field. Then again, they don't often use the full 15, do they?
