WRWC Final - NZ Vs England

Don’t think we were winning that without the red card. Nevertheless well done. Fluhler is fantastic. DC was a great 10 but he is a shît goal kicking coach. We need to learn how to defend a maul.

Cocksedge kicks a 50:22!
The ABs with all their advantage with distance in a punt still have yet to record one.
Wrong thread. But I'd be interested to see where you read that.

@Bones It's also not true. David Havili kicked a 50:20; I think it was in the Ellis Park test, but not sure.
@Stargazer yeah I figured but now you've ruined what was going to be a fun exercise!

I have been thinking about our kicking game, or lack of, and I think the way we played, which at times was sheer chaos, but seemed based solely on the natural instincts of the girls.and how they want to play.
Anyhow, the kicking, our gameplan was based around the fact we had next to no kicking game (distance wise) certainly not one to get ourselves far enough out of our 22 to negate thier maul, meaning they rolled the dice running it, all the time (dare I say how, junior rugby is played)
Sure this leads to some bizarre decisions and plays, but being that unpredictable makes it hard for the opposition too.
As I mentioned last week I think, the best thing about how they play, is they look like they are loving it, pure enjoyment, epitomised by the amazing Fluhler and Tui.
Anyway, that's my over analysis, over.

@taniwharugby They want to get the Argie kicking coach in.

@taniwharugby horses for courses too right? I think Wayne is probably a genius at unlocking handling and awareness in players, as well as the fact women's rugby is probably at mid to late 90's level men's rugby.
So get a team fit, overload on their ability to handle and support accurately and you have a recipe for success against big, lumbering defences.
That naturally leans on focus and determination in defence when the game goes long too. Communication is massive, when you're fucked, you're not communicating.

That was one of the best rugby nights I've ever had. The crowd was awesome, so much spirit, urging the girls on when we were down and the joy each time we scored was amazing. I don't know where women's rugby in NZ goes from here, but that night will rest in the memories of those black fern players forever

His crowning achievement. Taking a broken dispirited team and turning them into world champions inside a year. Surely a knighthood beckons, Sir Wayne?

Watching the BFs win the RWC with CF Sr and mum, and CF Jr. Pretty special
Was actually watching it with Mrs Dan, and I have to say to see her dance around the floor in tears at end has given me much joy. She's only a little thing to but when she leapt into my arms I suddenly remembered how old I was, just about knocked me over! Really good stuff I think!
You must give us an update at some point...

So trying to find the highlights for this game is a nightmare. Any ideas?
World Rugby have not been posting highlights to YouTube immediately after the game (and I assume have been blocking unions from doing the same) because they want you to go to their own website.
It's bullshit. The quality of the video resolution is poor and it's difficult to cast to a smart TV.
I hope they don't try the same shit next year.
