IRB Women's World Cup 2014

[LittleGuy]

In addition to nervous passing, our kicking has looked a bit aimless too. We need to retain possession.

Agreed, the kicking has been aimless and not resulting in a lot of territory and the lack of possesion was starting to strain the defence, penalty count was starting to rise before we picked it up in the last 5-10 minutes of the half.

Alphonsi and Packer have been immense.

Don't see how Canada can get back into this, the coach needs to really get through to them to not panic under pressure... When they make those little breaks just hang onto the ball.

If England keep this going though it could be a big score.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Terrible by England at the start of the 2nd half. From being right infront of Canada's goalosts to all the way back to our half then losing 3 points on the back of penalty after penalty.

 

[LittleGuy]

Great kick just squeaks over 11-6 now.

England have lost their shape here. Just need to go back to using their pods to suck the lumberjacks in.

 

[LittleGuy]

Oh dear, awful knock on ruins a promising attack.

 

[Big Ewis]

Canada can do this. Allez les Canadiennes !!

Oh dear, awful knock on ruins a promising attack.

Unfortunately a trend in Canada's play. Just snatching at passes, looking where the tacklers are before the ball is secured.

Canada hasn't seemed "settled" all game, there is still plenty of time to score not sure why panic is setting in. Our scrum has looked really good which is a positive.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Discipline here is pretty awful. So many unforced errors.

 

[LittleGuy]

What a kick!!!!!! 11-9!!! That must have been the very edge of Harvey's range.

 

[Big Ewis]

Magali Harvey has got to be the player of the Cup, and probably best player in the world right now. And seriously, she's downright model-level face wise.

 

[LittleGuy]

Given right back though, painful three to give up, that could be the turning point, Canada needs a try to win this one, down 14-9.

 

[Big Ewis]

Canada have just made too many unforced errors in the 2nd half...it's just too much. Too bad, a shame.

Only pure hard work and determination(and Harvey's goal kicking) has kept us alive. Still anyone's game with ten minutes to go.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Another botched pass.

 

[Big Ewis]

well done England, well deserved. Probably the best team of the tournament. I'm out.

 

[CDN_Rugby]

Barring something remarkable, that's all she wrote.

 

[LittleGuy]

And that's game.....missed chances to take Scarratt down who made a great run.

Proud of the girls who were within a shot of winning the World Cup till about 5 minutes to go.

 

[goodNumber10]

Another botched pass.

Are you going to say anything positive about the game mate?

Good try by Scarrett, that's gotta be game. Shame for Canada, they've been brilliant all tournament.

Brave in the air from both 15's there.
