Women's Rugby

[Wilson]

Cracking start from the Wallaroos against France. Not sure if they'll be able to keep it up for 80 but they're fighting for everything and winning the battles more often than not.

 

[RugbyReg]

They’ve maintained it for 40 which is the best I’ve seen from them for a while. French look very dangerous when they have the ball. We’ll need to take every point available.

 

[RugbyReg]

Anyone know if we get more money for being in the top tier of the WXV comp? We clearly aren’t tier one. Is it worth it being beaten up most weeks or would we have been better getting continuity and confidence in tier 2?

Im currently eating my own hat alongside a plate of humble pie.

Massive performance so far by Wallaroos

Amazing what getting Eddie Jones in to oversee the program has done for women's rugby in Australia.

 

[Adam84]

Leave Eddie to the other thread please, don’t let that chat detract from the massive performance of the wallaroos in this game. Beating France is a massive scalp.

It turns out they could, amazing performance!

Had the cricket on all day while cooking but can not wait to sit down with a glass of red from northern rhone & watch this uninterrupted

Best ever wallaroos win in our history so good, I actually like rugby again!

 

[NCT]

Great result and got to be a confidence boost for the team who have struggled against the Ferns but have probably benefited a lot from having that level of competition.

 

[RugbyReg]

Team for this week named with a few returning stars. Would have been very tempting to go unchanged because no one let us down last week.

In saying that, Stewart and Marsters are class. I am less sure of Cramer's benefit to the side other than being a good team mate.

Ash Marsters is a great player to be able to bring off the bench. Should really provide some impact.

 

[RebelYell]

Like the experience in the group. Number of caps seems quite high.

 

[Confucius Say]

A few of the Wallaroos need some national anthem practice.

The welsh girls were magnifique.

She did

 

[RugbyReg]

Such a gutsy performance. Bench used every well by the coach. Bravo wallaroos. hell of a way to finish the season .

They were seriously good. That try from Eva was huge. Also good to see Phil Waugh there.

 

[TSR]

Great performance. Thoroughly enjoyed that.
