Just watching the Aus V N Z match
Awesome
Re: Women's Rugby League
3Issue is strength in depth - fine for AUS v NZ where RL is well in the top 3 sports and the players are paid - less so for [say] a pacific island nation or Wales women RL - that is an issue in women's rugby union too...very few women's team sports [traditionally male ones at least] are remotely competitive at international level - if only 2 (3 ta stretch) teams can ever win major tournaments and teams get battered (which happens rarely nowadays in men's RL/RU or indeed association football) - I think women's sport would be better channeled in individual sports or female dominated ones like gymnastics and netball which would avoid competition with & unfavorable comparisons to the men's versions.
BUT there is the obsession with every male space/sport/industry being feminized (NOT the other way around - I've yet to see Netball being forced to encourage more men to play or a push for more male primary teachers!) - just seems political to me - notwithstanding that yes *some* women's team sports can occasionally match the men's for intensity if not skill...

Re: Women's Rugby League
5Really looking forward to the women’s rugby union World Cup final now. Should be a cracker, New Zealand v Ingerrrrlund in front of a sold out Eden Park
Re: Women's Rugby League
6Brilliant first half. Ingerrrlund, despite going down to 14 players after 18 mins, lead the Black Ferns 26-19.
Second half should be a cracker.

8Good to see England's brand of rugby being found out by a team able to pass and run, something England rarely attempt.

10I have little doubt England would have won if it wasn't for the early red card, irrespective of the manner in which they or NZ play.mad norm wrote: November 12th, 2022, 11:32 amOh stop being a misery.
