*Official* Women's World Cup 2022

Looking forward to the game tomorrow. Whoever loses is out.

Meanwhile Perry's hubbie (Matt Too'mua) has just gone off the field in the Rebels-NSW in Super Rugby with an HIA.

They actually divorced in 2020.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

They actually divorced in 2020.

Really. That's sad.

Commencing rain dance aws.

Looks like it could rain. However luckily the game is in Auckland so it's unlikely to get washed out, it doesn't rain all day here. Could be a shortened match.

Either way - lose and we are out. Win and we can still hope.

NZ's anthem is beautiful.

So in love with it.

 

[TT Boy]

Does Brunt have too much credit to be dropped? They've been poor all WC.

 

[Pup Clarke]

If there's ever a time for NZ to make a big total in this tournament, this is it. Looks a good wicket and the dimensions of the ground should suit them as England are not the most mobile in the field

Good early signs from Bates and Devine

 

[Pup Clarke]

Does Brunt have too much credit to be dropped? They've been poor all WC.

Yeah Brunt does look like a bit of a spent force in all honesty. Maybe it's just one tournament too many for her. She's probably still got a big spell in her if England can somehow advance to the semi's. Big game player

Her pace, which was probably her greatest asset a few years ago, looks like it can be easily neutralised and countered now. Bates and Devine confidently advancing down the pitch to her highlights this

 

[Flem274*]

Been a while since we've had some Salty Smithy. I'm here for it.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Can Ian Smith shut the **** up already

Lol yes it does.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What a giveaway that was.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

That was a waste from Bates. She was starting to look good too. Runs from both ends would be great.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

One (or preferably both) of these two needs 80+

 

[veganbob]

Lol yes it does.

Examples? If it rains in terrible parts of the country like chch it rains all day usually.
Auckland rarely has washouts.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Love to see a technician like Amelia Kerr with the Gray Nicholls gear. Classic look

Reminiscent of another Kiwi number 3...

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Massive moment with Devine having to retire hurt. Hopefully she can come back at the death and give us more finishing power.

 

[veganbob]

So much bad luck with Devine being retired hurt. Hopefully she can come back later. We need 250+

 

[Pup Clarke]

Yeah that's a huge blow. You'd think the England bowlers will psychologically have gained alot with knowing that they can contain, as Devine is so destructive by herself

Cross and Sciver have bowled nicely here. Stump to stump on a good length and asking the batsman to take the initiative

 

[Fuller Pilch]

These 2 are batting themselves into a hole. Need to bat well against spin.
