USA are doing a decent job of trying to beat Australia’s score against Samoa but 1/5 off the tee might hurt them, points difference could be very close in this group.

That one being ruled out means they’ve got some work to do in the second half

Shit, sorry.
Could have sworn I'd started this thread on Wednesday - problem with duplicating on 2 sites.

My guess is that wasn’t quite enough. England putting 75 on Australia is plausible but Aus know what they need to do

USA need England to win by 75+ points

Australia want to win, QF against Scotland is better for them than Canada.

Australia want to win, QF against Scotland is better for them than Canada.

Of course they WANT to win, but their best bet is to score 4 tries

 

[Which Tyler]

I want them both to win.
They've both done fantastically and deserve to leave with something

 

[9215.]

Absolutely. Congratulations to Japan on the win but also to Spain on their tournament, and to Cox on her 50th cap. (if cap is the correct term for refs)

 

[Which Tyler]

Cracking match, shame Spain couldn't get that 4try for 2BPs.
Let's hope Brasil can go one better.

Bit disrespectful of BBCRB not to switch over in time for the anthems

"She's actually" with a kiwi accent from commentator sounded... Like something different just then - needed a moment to work it out.

And they say romance is dead...

Menager just forgot that she was going so much faster than Queroi

 

[Which Tyler]

Nice

 

[Which Tyler]

Probably stays yellow, but might upgrade to fake-red.

Menager needs an HIA though

 

[Which Tyler]

Fake-red it is - thought it might have been dynamic enough to give the officials an excuse.

Yellow yes, red borderline

To be fair this is one of the best refs in the women's game

To be fair that’s probably the perfect use case for the fake red, it was upright and with force, clearly completely unintentional very dynamic situation but needed to be lower.

Ref.s don't give reds anymore - that happens in a truck in a different city

Yes, but i still hate that it's even a think, even more than I hate it being the maximum sanction available to the off-field review
