Women's RLWC 2021 Week 2 Discussion

[Super Freak]

That's been a pretty one-sided first half.

Canada just haven't been able to handle England's style of play and poor discipline with the ball hasn't helped matters.

 

[Super Freak]

England go the length of the field in their first set and they're in.

On the back of a break and a quick play the ball, England spread it right and Stanley just crashes over.

 

[Super Freak]

Stanley gets her second.

Stanley running through a gap and runs 50 metres to score, beating several defenders along the way. Hint of a double movement but the defenders had let go of her.

 

[Super Freak]

Canada are in.

England make a mistake on the kick off and on the following set, Woods beats several defenders on the right edge to crash over.

 

[Super Freak]

England are in.

They spread it left from an offload and Canada just weren't able to get the numbers over there and Roberts scores in the corner.

 

[Super Freak]

Hat-trick for Stanley.

England spread it right and create the numbers on the right and Stanley beats Woods to score her third.

 

[Super Freak]

Canada's defence on the edges has been poor.

Winfield-Hill saw that there was space on the left edge and puts a kick in for the winger Burke who scores her second.

Molyneux Player of the Match for England.

What are these commentators watching?

 

[Super Freak]

Good win from England.

Now onto the men's.

 

[Fozz]

This is brutal for France. 40-0 after 21 minutes

 

[Fozz]

58-0 at half time. Slowed down in the later 20 minutes, it was heading for 160-0 at half time.

Chapman has a double, Sergis has a hat trick.

 

[Fozz]

The French hooker is absolutely hopeless. Some shocking passes off scrum plays.

No one wants to see a game like that. Did the French complete even one set?

6/15 compared to 36/45

 

[Allo]

In a game I thought Canada would be fairly comfortable in, Brazil pushed them all the way.

Canada get a ball to somehow sit up in those tiny in-goals to chase and score the winner with a minute to go:

Cook Islands vs France on now

Much like the early seasons of the NRLW, there's a level of amateur-ness that makes these games really enjoyable in a different way than watching the (mostly) professionals

 

[Allo]

Great defensive tackle from France to hold Cook Islands up over the line

 

[Allo]

Cook Islands just using crash plays with their size, France actually moving the ball through the hands
