Cracking game so far. Really good set of semi finals.

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 are playing the way we all wish the ABs would.

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.

The black ferns have cracked the French defence. On top of that the French keep screwing up

What a game of rugby this has been. French in particular have been magnificent.

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

That one is on the coach, the best kicker was not even on the bench. Both 9 and 10 were knackered by the 79 minute

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.

Good start from England so far, and Scarratt kicking better than she has all tournament.

Make England pay immediately. A lineout maul to match England's.


EDIT: England brutally effective again

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.

I would have said advantage over there... 25m forward and still in possession.

Relax, the red card will prove decisive by the end. The Black Ferns are clear favourites now
