chrisjpainter Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 It's on BBC 2 now if anyone else is watching? This is a shoot out for tag of world number 1 and England are bossing it right now! We've not got Emily Scarrett, but even so we're taking NZ to task right now.

chrisjpainter Posted October 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 England looked like a really well drilled side, with plenty of cover on the bench and a desire to keep going at New Zealand. A year to go to the 2021 World Cup, but an early broadside at one of the favourites is very welcome! Roll on next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Really glad I decided to record it, what a great game! The winger, Dow? has some speed and great command of the line by Harrison. Looking forward to watching more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Mrs Agriv8 played for her uni many years ago. Rougher than the mens game in some respects - I remember a nasty semifinal match one where the two captains squared up after a high tackle on our winger ‘ nick named the Gazelle’ . ref got punched iirc by one of there players and the lads game stopped on the pitch next door so they could watch 3 point in it by the final whistle. captains made up within 5 mins of whistle and all got sloshed in uni bar !?! Mrs Agriv8 will be watching it later on catch-up maybe Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 How nice to be able to say we have the World's no.1 team. I just love the way that women's rugby is played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted November 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Well this is going well! Bullying display all over the pitch, but especially in the scrum. I think we should just keep it with the forwards and beat them up a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Red Roses running on duracell,,,, black ferns forgot to recharge their cheap rechargeables !!! Their coach obviously wasn't "honest" enough with his team talk !!! Brilliant rugby from England, which today is far superior to NZ 👏👍👏 Edited November 7, 2021 by JKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I know that the women's and men's games are distinctly different, such as the physical hits etc, but I would love to see the men play a passing game like the women. I really enjoyed the passion, defence, and wide game they played! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good shot? Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I am sorry I missed the Rugby as I would rather watch the women’s Football than the men’s game for all the reasons stated about the Rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
