Well done Auckland girls, hard luck Wellington.

7:06 Why was the call for not passing outside 5m? The player was clearly outside that 5m line?

[@charlesray9674]

Watching the replay, Will Johnson made a questionable non-call when one of the Pride forwards was ahead of the play during a line out which was likely that the Auckland halfback knocked on because of the interference.

Auckland got a young side I notice there's a japanese player, playing for Auckland

[@charlesray9674]

There are two: Nijiho Nagata making her first start at hooker and Mizuho Kataoka second start as the openside flanker (#7).

Well done Auckland,tough game there,very close,thought we may have lost watching the highlights too.Yea that late try by Blackwell,and after her yellow card too,was great,and the conversion also.Missed the score last week,and saw nothing on the sports tv news too,and meant to check the Auckland rugby twitter or website for the score. I noticed one Black Fern player back for us,have to check the websites for the team info from last week,and even for the team this week.And maybe this week we have all our Black Fern players or most back?.🟦👍👏

And good to see our blue and white stripes back last week,the alternate strip must be a new thing,i'm sure i don't remember the Storm over the years wearing a alternate strip?,unless bad memory,so why no really?.Yea last year for one,it was i'm sure all one uniform,but now for good now?,we will have 2 uniforms for i think uniform clashes,not home and away i think?,this by union has to be,not tv?.As last week was a away game,and in our blue and white stripes.But when up against teams with stripes too,like canterbury,Hawkes bay,Waikato,Taranaki etc...,and away game,we wear our alternate strip.

Popcorn and beer... 😂

[@fraserwilliamson9507]

That second yellow card was nonsense. The other girl was hanging on around her neck!

[@JaemanEdwards]

They'll give you a yellow card for looking at them wrong these days. It's such bullshit..

[@charlesray9674]

One of the few bad calls. 😊Glad to see the Storm comeback. Why isn't there TMO for FPC?
