    No way! That means that womens rugby isn’t well funded in Canada so.

    take that with a pinch of salt, but the Canadian Rugby Union makes the Welsh look well run from what I've read

    Great to see the BBC analysts talking about the English try that should have been ruled out because of accidental offside. The quality of TMO has been so inconsistent

    Really well worked try, and a cracking conversion. France look much better in attack so far, English resorting to brute force mainly

    England score off the back of the crookedest lineout throw ever. Not sure what the ref called a free kick for.

    back breaker of a try by Kildunne. She's some finisher, just lethal in open space.

    France have been so much better at creating space

    Three turnovers each for Botterman and Jones, some with hands on the ground. Jones was player of the match and I love Kildunne as a player.

    must admit that was a much closer game than I expected ( even with the fact that the last 6 nations game was a one pointer) can see Canada doing a number on England if they start as well as yesterda.

    As expected Holly Davidson is named as the ref for the final.

    Great build up to that try. Think Canada are well up for winning this.

    Kildunne is ridiculous. One of the best backs in the game, period.

    Terrible call against Canada there, nothing wrong with that steal

    A few shocking calls by Hollie. That steal mentioned above, a not straight lineout with contest that lead to a try, constant coaching of the English, and not saying anything to the can 2 about being offside and then penalising her

    that ball was nowhere near out, gtfo. Stone cold penalty

    England's game is get penalty, lineout maul and score. Repeat as needed. Kildunne and Dow are their only creative outlets.

    And only sometimes legal. looks to me like she has hands on the ground before grabbing

    So boring apart from the creative players. 🤔

    I think England defended the Canadian speed really well and walked in ahead. Thought Canada would cause them more trouble

    Canada definitely aren't enjoying the ruck speed they had against NZ. Was always likely imo. England's attack hasn't been creative at all. Kildunne doing something magic from broken play isn't indicative of a functioning attack. Canada have been much more effective manipulating the defense to create space.
