[Super Freak]

Trying to type some of those names was a mission and a half. Especially getting information on captains.

Goddamn. Why couldn't their parents just name them something simple?

 

[Allo]

How good seeing Sergis not being an automatic selection

Light it up Shenae and stop her getting picked the whole tournament

Good on the Broncos girls, plenty of selections and debuts

 

[Super Freak]

That was pretty poor defence from Canada.

 

[Allo]

Brazil are the expected Jamaica of this comp

Poms hand them their first hiding 72-4

PNG account for Canada 34-12

Good to see some different nations from the mens though

 

[Super Freak]

PNG finally have their WC win.

Canada did well to challenge them, it was 8-6 at half time but PNG ran away with it in the second half. Those two tries from Molowia on either side of half time were crucial for PNG.

 

[Allo]

Australia v Cook Islands about to kick off

Robbo, Ciesiolka, Aiken and Ali feature for us

Other game this morning the Kiwis beat the Frogs 46-0

 

[Super Freak]

Let's go girls.

 

[Super Freak]

Great start for Aussie. Kick out bounces over the dead ball line.

 

[Super Freak]

Good pass from Aiken.

Creates the numbers on the edge with a floating pass over the top and Pelite scores.

 

[Super Freak]

Aus in again.

Great pass from Brown. Goes right then switches the ball back in to Johnston who scores next to the posts.

 

[Super Freak]

Aiken looking very threatening.

 

[Allo]

Girls racing the clock

this will be a bloodbath

 

[Super Freak]

Aiken in and a well deserved try.

Kelly comes back in-field from a Aiken pass and runs through a gap, passes to Aiken and she scores.

 

[Super Freak]

Brigginshaw has had very little ball so far.

They're really targeting that Cook Islands right side with Aiken and Kelly.

 

[Super Freak]

She finally gets the ball and throws a shocking cut out pass over the sideline..

 

[Super Freak]

Australia in.

Taufa slices through a gap and passes to Bremner who scores. That was really poor defence.

Not only that but poor discipline with the ball. Wiki tries to offload which goes straight to Robinson and Australia make them pay a couple of tackles later.
