They are world champs for a reason. Hats off to USA, great to see the game growing in that part of the world...

[@jessebourneau6426]

This performance reinforces what I've always said about women's sport. "If you want to learn how a game is played, watch the women". Have refereed many many games at the collegiate men's level, my most memorable was a women's U18 final. Impeccable set pieces, creative open play.

[@nzlemming]

Wow! Can you imagine the score with 15? Fabulous performance from the Ferns.

[@ranjulajayamal]

What a game... Black ferns returned in a strong manner in the second half despite losing a player and sealed the glory.

[@quesmark3683]

Only 6 minutes in and this one is already a battle! Letsgooooo

[@honahwikeepa2115]

Brave USA. You only improve when you challenge the best. Well done Ferns.

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

Most brutal sport on the planet. Love watching these girls play. Well done, Black Ferns!

[@tinafitzgerald2547]

Awesome 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@widowmaker3257]

Respect to All Blacks. Despite player short and ref biase, still won, and played like they expected to win. Luv their attitude.

[@Ausin204]

I'm so proud of you

[@josephguo6256]

love to watch Rugby.

[@Dark_knight1980]

Finally found the game to watch, Well done ladies champions, good at what you do 👍👏👏👏

[@varen651]

I am a guy and I must admit these women's skill and energy on both sides is electric, immaterial of teams the womens rugby is just as exciting as that of the men but, it is a pity they don't get the same support as that of the men, too many empty seat, well played ladies.

[@jamesaldrich9754]

Also she gets straight back up and makes an immediate tackle.

[@romedome9060]

Head clash not a hight tackle. You tackle with intent, pretty sure she didn’t intend to smash her face on hers

[@korocam9137]

Tell that to England in the World Cup final.

[@lyndasutherland6165]

Black Ferns rule!!! We are so fortunate to have our Wahine Toa.

[@spidermek5416]

Game nowadays have too many rules. Rugby is a contact sport. Its about rugby not rules. The only rules is knockon, forward pass or offside. Like i said, its a contact sport. Players get hurt. The player doesnt go out there to do it on purpose. You go for the tackle never intent to hurt your opposition. Accident happen in any sport. Thats my opinion.

[@ropatanui]

TMO should be supporting the ref not refereeing the game.

[@nzlemming]

Yeah, nah. It's their job to watch for stuff like head contact and that was the only thing the TMO called, twice.

[@RoyLimisAw3s0me]

a winger should be able to tackle or slow down any player (these are PROFESSIONAL athletes... people like me will not stop anyone)

[@miroslavdaniel3413]

Black Ferns paráda, krásně jste je rozebrali . Špica holky 😍

[@tinafitzgerald2547]

Absolutely 👍👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@gregorychurches5468]

23 minutes Quick tap without the tap

[@JaemanEdwards]

After the Olympics, I'd love to see the USA sevens girls playing fifteens. The strong speedy Naya Tapper and the powerful offload queen Ilona Maher would give this team some power and punch. Alev Kelter and Sammy Sullivan are a deadly attacking threat too.

[@delta2080]

Don't ever celebrate to early. Especially against the Black Ferns. They're wolrd class champions for a reason and this is one of many examples.

[@dacx5]

Wasted chance to beat the ferns inability to create overlap 14v15 cmon

Well done Black Ferns on the win,a close one but,USA where maybe thinking of getting there second win ever over NZ.They will have to wait longer,would think happen again at some stage,when?,as been 30+ years.Was back in 1991 rugby world cup semi final,they won 7-0.🏴👍👏

[@tboyz1]

The ref should of pulled on her White Jersey haha 😂

[@bodybalanceU2]

go black ferns - still won with only 14 on the field - they are the true world champions

[@vrencan9735]

What a game! It's okay, Eagles. Keep working 💪

I don't get it, if the ball touches the ground, you cannot double move tho so USA got away with that second try ?

[@DenzilAbrahams]

Love watching these girls they know there game

[@Rotavegas1]

the male announcer calling the Black ferns by the wrong names..🤦🤦🤦

[@dontuakana7788]

The games these days are not like what it use to be. I get it, its player safety.

[@jaylagaaia3780]

I don't agree that all head-on-head contact that isn't intentional should be an immediate red card. I understand player welfare but watching the tackle unfold, you realise there is no malice in the contact itself and it is just unfortunate that the collision occurred. You can see at the 3'40 mark that the Kiwi half-back went in for a tackle on a taller opponent and was hit on the side by the opposition as she was making the tacking leading to a head-on-head collision. That should be yellow if anything because not only was it unintentional but you rob the game that's just started off a fair contest!

[@skylagaaia6615]

And the tackler was the half back..the shortest person in the team..😂😂😂😂

[@RoyLimisAw3s0me]

USA should focus on Sevens (both male and female should focus on SEVENS where they can actually upset top tier SEVEN teams as playing 15 is not easy as most want to do NBA/NFL and the rejects do Rugby Union)

[@franzfanz]

A hint for World Rugby, don't put the results in the title. Otherwise, a game of two halves by the women in black. The first half was shocking; poor discipline, shocking handling, kicking was aimless. Fortunately, Steady-the-Ship Demant came on and the replacement forwards just bullied the Eagles' eight.

[@robertcollins403]

New Zealand Selver Ferns Rugby, lots of things need to fix it. To many knock-on ball to many outsides. The half backs are to slow to run the ball. Need to run the game faster.❤❤

[@redrust3]

Silver Ferns DON’T play rugby. They play NETBALL. Black Ferns play rugby.

[@pauljamison3340]

Absolutely shocking refereeing!!!

[@kelvintrass1084]

the americans were offside for the game

[@ropativ7483]

And I've no idea what special skills Steinmetz has to be in the Black Ferns. In World Cup final, the very short time she went in for Ruhler, her decision to place kick the ball was pissed poor. And her missed tackles and feeble attempts at running the ball in an isolated position was also a decision that jeopardizes the whole team. This USA fortunately. Silly decision making like this against England or France would be met with heavy punishments!!!

[@paulrawiri4456]

This was the blackferns poorest performance they mite have won but man

[@Rotavegas1]

but they did win so what you talking about

[@paulrawiri4456]

@@Rotavegas1 yes I know that but just in the 1st half was not them at all that's all Im saying of course they were gonna win obviously🙄

[@briansmaller7443]

These red cards are annoying. They change the game so much. Just look at the last world cup final. Even that yellow against the Yank at 11:20 was too much. In almost any game you find enough to yellow or red half the players. Eventually this game will turn into touch rugby.

What blackfern team is this lol you can tell they haven't played much together the A Team would never let them even score

[@george.rtalbot1926]

The Black Ferns started 8 new players for this game and Maia Roos became the youngest captain of the Fern’s, overall a tough test match and a satisfactory result, the Fern’s are going to have to play a few games a player short, to work on their stamina and fitness before the next World Cup

[@Trajan2401]

​@@george.rtalbot1926also down to 14 for most of the game sometimes 13

[@nzlemming]

I doubt that management thought the USA would prove much of a challenge and it would be good for experience. Without the red card, it would have been.

[@vainuivainui8039]

Why does usa always clap there hands they lost 😂😅😂

[@jamesaldrich9754]

Red Card utter bullsh-t.The white player did not even flinch or shows any signs after being hit.

[@richardmatatahi4563]

Not good to get nine penalties in the 1st half having to play with two players down sloppy play in general around the field really needed to wake their ideas up in the 2nd half far from their best game. expected more from them, you don't expect passes to the winger going to no one over the sideline. a lot of mistakes by New Zealand. USA looked better because they made less mistakes, poor finishing overall poor game by them. 39-17 well done USA.

[@reihanamurphy1922]

Yeh 15 against 14 cheer for the unfairness yeh

[@oldblack15]

Expecting players to be perfect in a not perfect world, impossible.if everyone was perfect we would not need laws. Laws are too restrictive and do not allow common sense. Punish the team, supporters, fans at the grounds as it affects the quality of the game. Tackling lower is also dangerous to the tackler. Yellows are bad enough and to m7ch invovement from the officials. Slow motion amplifies it, does not help.

[@reihanamurphy1922]

If no intent penalty should suffice what a Croc, anything to beat NZ

[@miorandmior]

a Iot of high tackIes by the ferns. they couId have been down 2 or 3 pIayers

[@Rotavegas1]

oh and the USA weren't doing the same? one eye

[@nzlemming]

@@Rotavegas1 Doesn't matter what the USA were doing. I thought the ferns did well, but 9 penalties in the first half shows that something needs fixing. And they did make a lot of high tackles.

Still with the stupid tackle technique, wake up, making life so hard for themselves.

[@ryanp9223]

The ref is a joke..inconsistent and missed calls benefiting one side.

[@rexsmithson4646]

The game has become really soft that wasn't a high tackle it was just a head clash. What I call a high tackle is when a player wraps their arms around the other players head. Like in Rugby league a head clash is just a head clash and no penalty

[@ibomb6232]

Stupid logic. The rules of no head contact are put in place to PROTECT the players. If u wanna see people get knocked on the head watch mma or boxing

[@Rotavegas1]

head clash is not good

women should get paid 0.1% of the highest pay for men in the same sport category. For example, if a rugby player gets paid $13 Million, then his female counterpart should only be paid 13,000 dollars (USD).
