Hopefully it is only the pool games that Aldcroft misses.
Good to see Rowland and Moloney-MacDonald back but it’s a bit worrying that Aitchison isn’t, I’m beginning to suspect that her injury is worse than they’re letting on.

 

[Sharkscage]

Let's hope the officials ref the match and not the teams ?

 

[Sharkscage]

Good start RR's

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Rooting for the scoreboard but it will be a boat race

 

[Sharkscage]

Isn't it great that ex England thug KC Brian Moore spurting rubbish, he was never a great player, and never coached, yet seems to know everything !

 

[Sharkscage]

Go RR's

 

[Sharkscage]

At last we have a ref with common sense, no review/TMO, just good calls

 

[Sharkscage]

oh dear this could be a cricket score

 

[Sharkscage]

Another good try girls

 

[Sharkscage]

Good ref, chatting to players, making them aware, doesn't take much

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I swear this isn’t ref abuse but that wasn’t a knock on. England gets a 5m scrum cause of a missed call.

 

[Sharkscage]

How on earth did they stuff that up ! Sing isn't a Cowgirl

 

[Sharkscage]

I swear this isn't ref abuse but that wasn't a knock on. England gets a 5m scrum cause of a missed call.

Hey hands off ref, she doing a good job so far

 

[Quel Carreleur]

Rooting for the scoreboard but it will be a boat race

I'd put money on the scoreboard beating the clock, sadly

 

[Quel Carreleur]

Isn't it great that ex England thug KC Brian Moore spurting rubbish, he was never a great player, and never coached, yet seems to know everything !

I'm shocked that you think that you know more than a qualified ref

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Thank you for the correction.

All the scrums and instant penalties followed by lineouts are helping the clock.

It needs help, it's 2 scores down!

 

[Sharkscage]

I'm shocked that you think that you know more than a qualified ref

oh I don't know, but doing refs exams might help me, and training 3 under 15 teams for 2 years might also help ? What do you think ?

 

[Quel Carreleur]

So you admit to being way less knowledgeable than Moore - cool story

 

[AlRums]

Isn't it great that ex England thug KC Brian Moore spurting rubbish, he was never a great player, and never coached, yet seems to know everything !

Are you sure you're not DH in disguise?

Yes, Moore was a dirty player and a bit of a thug.

He is not and and never either a KC or a QC and hasn't practiced law since 2003, over 20 years ago.

He is also a qualified referee, which I bet is more than you are.

 

[AlRums]

I'm sorry, but this is so one sided it's boring.

No criticism of England, it's like watching the same 2-3 mins of the same thing over and over.

It's no different than watching a similar mens match.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Are you sure you're not DH in disguise?

Yes, Moore was a dirty player and a bit of a thug.

He is not and and never either a KC or a QC and hasn't practiced law since 2003, over 20 years ago.

He is also a qualified referee, which I bet is more than you are.

And a qualified manicurist.

Great to hear his dulcet tones.

Yes I was a qualified ref, and reffed Under 16 games for 2 seasons, and still have to do e-learning courses to keep up my qualifications, sadly now too old to keep up with young guns, but still coach Under 15's locally

 

[Sharkscage]

Sing has not looked good in both games she has played

 

[Sharkscage]

More refs can learn from this lady, she has taken the calls herself, and been right on all the calls, also talks to the players clearly and tells them what's going on, Well done Ref

 

[TRF_Olyy]

1 week cooldown for not contributing anything but abuse

 

[Ddanno]

Love you Olyy

 

[9215.]

Great to see England going full throttle for the full 80. A few players really putting their hands up for the knockout stages, Jess Breach is back to her best and Maddie Feaunati must be pushing Alex Matthews close for the 8 shirt.

 

[Ddanno]

Lovely scene at the end with all the players having a dance together
