I agree the 4 goal loss flattered the Ferns – none of them put their hand up today, and Englands win was thoroughly deserved 🙌
The biggest issue for the Ferns seemed to be penetrating England’s mid court defence, which was phenomenal. Tchine is a machine too – she will give Cardwell a good run for staring GS in the future, and easily got the best of Jackson and Mikaere today.
Nweke had the worst game I’ve seen her play, with soft hands and shaky shooting. I thought Heffernan was really close to getting ball several times at WD, without actually getting any.
I’d bring COB back in for game 3 – neither Poi nor Souness really took command.
Good call Maryann, gin o’clock.
