Wasn't Mererangi Paul twice she had Ruby on the outside and didn't pass. She kicked for herself then got tackled just short of the line. Ruby actually passed her the ball for her first try. But hey nice unselfish inside pass for Ruby to score

I was thinking that their passing accuracy is better also as the player is running onto the ball without having to baulk a bit when receiving the ball.

The Ball should do the work woman don't have a Ego

They are good and they have incredible potential but it will take time to develop those connections between players, especially timing. Not to single out any players but there is 1 or 2 that I really don't think will make the cut when it comes to playing against England or France, maybe they were selected to fill the spots that don't have a lot of talent or I am not sure. What I do see is they need a lot more work to lift to the level of England, so hopefully they can really grow as a unit and get those connections right and eliminate some of those errors which seem to come into play with fatigue and poor decision making. I love the BlackFerns and I still get emotional when I watch the world cup win in New Zealand, I think I have watched it over 20 times, so I hope and pray they can develop into a well rounded well balanced force of nature and take the next world cup, I think England will be their real test in September, I do think it will take more time before they can take England in their own backyard though..

Silky skills on display! Looking awesome! The new lock on debut-loved seeing her running back to make a try saving tackle! She's going to be one to watch for sure!

Wow that was impressive

Mererangi Paul, remember the name performance right there, 💯 wat a talent.

Well played girls! That was awesome to watch.

Black Ferns looking very sharp. 😎👍

Question: for the next World Cup, do we integrate the 7s girls again? Or do we build on our XVs only talent to win back to back? It worked last time but I believe that was out of necessity. This time there is a lot more depth and we are a more professional outfit. Stacey Waka was epic last World Cup but Du Plesis is solid and a great talent too. Either way the women’s game is strong and we need to lift to take on the French and English.

Congratulations

I wonder who's gonna be dropped from starting backline when Holmes comes back, or does she warm the bench instead??😅girls were on 🔥

I think the girls will be annoyed with how they slowed up after the first 20! Definitely a lot to work on but decent start! On a brighter note the jerseys look sick AF

Good work black ferns

Well done Wahine Ma, bad luck USA atleast you tuned up and scored all the best , Kia Kaha

Why compare them though? They’re playing for the same country and they’re both entertaining to watch 🤯

NZ rugby is the standard.

Do the people of Hamilton/Waikato not care about supporting the Black Ferns? So many empty seats for a team that represents us so well, and works so hard to become better every game they play.

Love the Black Ferns.

Whats No.14 USA doing on the wing. Too slow like a forward and always creating lots of space for NZ to run on her outside. 2 line breaks from her side in first 5 minutes.

The girls play the game just that little bit different in rhythm to let all sorts of extremely difficult skills come together. Mind you. With terrible opposition like this. Anything is possible. It's time for the yanks to either get it together or give it up once and for all.

Well done wahine toa 1:47 This one was a mile forward lol 3:10 Paul had a good game but needs to stop being hungus. That was one of the most greedy plays I’ve ever seen. Pass the ball 🤦‍♀️

💯% Wahine Toa have better Vision than the men

*Very impressed with Hannah King!!! She came in and there was noticeable change in the way the backline and forwards moved on the offence. The return of Baker saw a rather aggressive strong and impactful ball carrier, it was just awesome to watch!!! Maia Joseph, while she did well in box kicking, would need to have the sense of urgency in her play I reckon! Her distribution from the back of the breakdown and scrum was a little slow, and her spatial awareness was patchy at times, particularly when she isolated Mererangi Paul with her pass whilst the team was spread out at the other side of the field! She would also need to introduce in her game sniping runs, but she seems to lack the quickness of a halfback!!! Still think that the Auckland halfback Kahlia Awa has all the attributes of the inside half and could be a devastating member of the Black Ferns! Overall, the whole team worked hard. Love to see Maama Vaipulu settled down in her first game. Her high work rate was impressive! Still not sure of Charmaine's contribution to the team!*

@@DarkMoonWayfarer Charmaine has seemingly lost her mongrel DNA after she recovered from that unfortunate neck injury she was having, an important aspect in the lock position!!! I reviewed that USA try, and found that she completely missed the try scorer!!! Liana Mikaele went low in stopping the try, which is something Charmaine would never do, and she went high to stop the try - and she was halfhearted at the effort!!! Her general game was below average - at set pieces and general support play! Riding on history, isn't a good sign with the Black Ferns management in this instance and more importantly, sustaining honest mistakes can be rectified. In her case, she would need to have an honest look into herself if her consciousness of her former injury is preventing her to come out as an aggressive mongrel for the position in breakdowns making her a liability to the whole team unit effort, or NOT!

@@joepunk90 cant post a URL here on KZread but please Google an article written in the (UK) Guardian Six Nations page by Luke McLaughlin where he quotes Wayne Barnes: "The deciding factor as to the legality of a pass, as the referee Wayne Barnes explained on World Rugby’s website during the last World Cup, is the direction of the ball from the hands, rather than the position of passer relative to receiver. 'It’s not about the direction that the ball eventually ends up, it’s about the direction it’s travelling in as it leaves the hands,' Barnes said. It comes down to something called relative velocity. The momentum of a player moving forward will also take the ball forward, even if the pass leaves their hands going backwards."
