I wasn’t expecting this one to be close at all but Spain are really up for it.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

this game is a mess and not really in an exciting way.

Well that decision is bullshit
Placed backwards by Spain, then backwards off Ireland (who shouldn't be there, even if it's she's trying to get away), then hit's a Spanish foot.

So glad they got one back anyway - I think that's what's called "taking the ref out of the game".

Fantastic match, Spain brilliant - Don't think I had realised they'd been kicked out of the 6N to make way for Italy. 2007 apparently, which yeah, is a few years before I was noticing women's rugby.


Despite commentary at the end - That Irish performance won't be causing NZ any lost sleep
