The officiiating is absolutelly ludicrous. That so-called cynical collapse was non-existent. That was just competitive rugby.
Any excuse to give the minnows an easier ride.

Just watching the game. Jorja makes a copy book tackle and jackal, gets penalised for being overly physical? (Dunno?!). The backline move that set up her space for Miller's first try was sexy. They could give the ABs some tips

Draw between Australia and USA makes the last pool matches interesting.

USA go up against Samoa to try and rack up a big score, then the Wallaroos at least get an inkling of how fucked they are against a rampant England.

135 is the magic number.

The team to play Ireland.

Brunt has outdone herself.

[Bones]

Welsh halfback is handy, wicked pass and some bloody sweet feet.

[Jailbreak7]

FFS that pass was a mile forward from England, not checked, try given. Officiating has been a joke so far

[sparky]

19 minutes gone. Aussie women lead the Poms 7-5.

The rub of the officiating favouring England so far. Australia with much more possession.

[sparky]

Commentary team are horrific.

[sparky]

England try.

[sparky]

But it's ruled out after the conversion was missed.

Aussie 7 England 5

[sparky]

England big but a bit clumsy.

[sparky]

Australia need to be more clinical in the red zone. Good defence set by England.

[sparky]

Half an hour gone, 7-5 to Aussie but they are tiring a bit.

Painful watch

[sparky]

Australia defence a bit looser and England score. 12-7.

[Bones]

Not at all supporting her own bodyweight, that's hilarious officiating.

[sparky]

England ahead 19-7 at the break.

Australia leading on possession on the back of excellent kicking, but England's defence has been much more solid.

[sparky]

The decision not to check England's first try was a shocker. The pass must have been three or four metres forward.

[Jailbreak7]

@sparky Yep, and to me that was the momentum shift. England rallied after that, whilst Aus have just gone tp pieces. Last 30 has been horrific.
