That's very true, Canada getting a medal should be great for the sport in NA.

Come on Aus.

Aus deserve to win... hopefully we'll see something out of the top drawer from Caslick.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

In Caslick we trust.

One of the big differences I've noticed is the ability (or lack thereof) to offload, there are so many times where you see opportunities that would be meat and drink in the men's game not taken.

I noticed that too. TBH I've been generally pretty impressed with the passing from the higher up teams. That is probably chauvenistic of me not expecting them to be up there ITO skill levels but in SA I don't know that girls even play rugby so think it might stem from that.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Meh... the skills levels have been great at times, but also quite poor at others.

Why is rasta running touch?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Caslick and McCalister have been miles ahead of the rest.

Women's rugby is fairly popular in the UK westcountry dunno about other area's. Infact the only person I know of at work who plays now is a woman.

[ratsapprentice]

Great finish.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

This is a fitting final.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

How do you not go to the tmo on this, holy ****

 

[Every Time Ref]

Great finish.

Still saying that after the replay...?

 

[nickdnz]

Damn it...why no TMO? "I'm happy with the grounding"...ffs.

How do you not go to the tmo on this, holy ****

TBF this is 7's TMO is not really used no one has a clue what happened.

Olympics are done by their own in house team rather than local broadcaster. Don't think they'd have specialist Rugby guys yet.

Decent base around here,
Lichfield has all age grades of women's sides. Wuss have a premiership side as well.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lichfield has a great setup, played a game at Welford road last season.

Womens rugby has become a thing in the last 3/4 years to be fair, esp @ Uni level.

In 2020 we should pretty good.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Good game.
