Old-timer Irish supporter here: New Zealand's backs had scant reposte to Abbi Dowd & Co in this match . Her sheer pace, prey-drive and class denote a true "thorough-bred". And Abbi is but one such "thorough-bred" in a lithe England backline that is oozing class: and it is still evolving. This rapier-like attacking speed, skill and accuracy is only as good as the forwards provide though, and they are all of "high-pedigree", too. Very well done indeed to the English ladies. Great craic 🏴‍☠😎☘.

Irish fan here - we're just seeing some green shoots after a few very tough years for our ladies. NZ are clearly full of talent but maybe adapting to a new system, the attack is firing but defensive set up reminds me of the early days of Farrell with the Irish men's team, just needs time to click. The English are just impeccable, interested to see if Canada can handle them.

You can tell that NZ is playing a lot of new faces. The defence was pretty bad, unusual in a Black Fern squad. Couldn’t recognize the overlap as it was developing. Tackling was weak. But England has a strong team and played well, with a bit of luck that always helps. This has been an interesting tournament that would have benefitted from professional promotion. World Rugby is not doing the women’s game any favours with empty venues.

Next year’s WCup will get plenty of promotion, BBC and ITV tele in England will be all over it. If England are in the Final - I’d be amazed if they weren’t - then Twickenham will probably sell out, especially if they’re playing our NZ Black Ferns. Let’s hope it’s played at the right time of the day - afternoon kick off ! - and not these ridiculous night matches so the Union can squeeze more dosh out of tv media wanting to sell more Ads to Southern Hemisphere morning audience. 2pm kick off means, on most days, even in damp ol’ England, a dry pitch and a dry ball: perfect conditions for running rugby played out wide.

Black Ferns paying the price for not choosing bigger more athletic girls. They are woefully undersized and underpowered compared to the Northern Hemisphere teams. I suspect all the great NZ female athletes went to the Sevens game as well as rugby league which is more lucrative and glamourous. Also this new coach is out of his depth compared to Wayne Smith.

[@sinclairwhitbourne2090]

Really enjoyable rugby. NZ were good but that English side is something else. Love the way there are players running onto the ball from depth and the detail work, like ball transfer to free an arm for the fend.

[@CalTheKiwi1]

As a BF supporter, we were well beaten but we’ll be back. Well played, England Roses. Outstanding outside Backs, Back Three. Several Tries scored out wide. BF’s defence more holes than Swiss cheese. It’s not often you see Ruby Tui slip off a tackle. I remember England players reaction at the end of the WC Final at Eden Park, they knew they were the better team and NZ had nicked it at a line out error on 79 minutes. They’re making hay nowadays, sweet revenge. NZ will get better but the awkward truth currently, from our point of view, is England are just too good, by far the better team. C’mon the Black Ferns! Sort our Defence out.

[@richwalker1965]

Classy post - thanks. Looking at the BF defence it looks entirely fixable - all teams will struggle to contain the England back three and getting parity in the forwards will be tough but the defensive alignment can be sorted. The BFs consistently got caught too narrow, without their shoulders square and weren't in position to cover across. All that's eminently coachable given work.

Let that be a lesson to Allen Bunting Mike Delany for leaving there Black Ferns in cotton wool before they left New Zealznd and not forcing them to play in the FPC comp. We looked short of a trot in Twickenham, against Ireland and against England again in Canada . The Black Ferns were soft and when you watch our defence and our players defensive technique , Holmes , Vahakolo and Tui missed easy one on on tackles which lead to 21 easy points being put on the board , let alone the 7 with the charge down try . We have been poor and have plenty of bloody work to do heading into the next World Cup . ENGLAND THE YARDSTICK BY WHICH ALL TEAMS MSASURE THEMSELVES , TO MUCH GAME FOR THE BLACK FERNS TO HANDLE .

Coaching change is urgent and suspect one or two players would not be in the team if picked after the most recent Farah Palmer domestic rugby series. Hard to know even where to start. Unfortunately the game has swung to a forward based domination and the endless rolling maul tries are a blight on the game. Saying that the Black Ferns were outplayed everywhere despite having good lead up games but seem to have learnt very little. The players are there but the current coaching is not and maybe a rugby academy for women players.

a bit better black ferns, the players are moulding well, the defence a bit shocking, second five and center has to jell in defence and attack. halfback put a bit of beef on. a sweeper like rugby league and everone half back. wholesale changers, lets go

Ruahei needs to go to 10 for World Cup ..need a back up for her ....Get 3 BF Sevens players too ....Sack one prop...get injured one back..sign Laura Bayfield ....Extra player in backline NOT spotted ....SACK DEFENCE COACH .....

[@DarkMoonWayfarer]

You know that Ruahei doesn't even play 10 for the Blues? She plays 12 because she can't kick the ball.

[@kevd2448]

​@@DarkMoonWayfarerwell the 10 they had out there cant kick either. Really bad

[@naraboy99]

@@DarkMoonWayfarer How the hell are they professional players when they can't do the basics, catch, pass, kick or tackle? That is literally their job and if they are lacking in a certain department of skill then a professional outfit should have experts to work with them like a kicking coach.

[@DarkMoonWayfarer]

​@@naraboy99There's a developmental lack in kicking as it doesn't seem to be a priority in Farah Palmer cup and Aupiki. Silvia Brunt said in an interview recently that she'd been learning how to kick properly. “The kicking game and the speed of the game as well. Canada were quick, and with their physicality as well, but the kicking game was new for me,” Brunt reflected.

poor tackling from both sides but especially nz... embarrassing really.
