2019 CONSTELLATION CUP NZ v AUS TEST 2 (Auckland)

Yeah this year’s Australian side in general has been throwing away quite a lot of ball…

Totally agree Tully, Weston throws away so much in attack but Klau is totally absent. Bruce playing really well in GK but a better a attacking option in GD.

Yes! Tippett in GS :)

Oops, Tippett at GA, Philip GS

Great reach from Bruce, she is becoming that reliable GK that this team needs in defence

Whitney Souness should have come on earlier, missed a chance NZ. Left it to late to make the change, down by what 9 or 10

I think from this last quarter I’ve seen that Bruce has really stepped up, the Phillip and Tippett goal circle is a great combination but I wonder if it will even last 6 months depending on Wood’s return and Phillip’s possible retirement in a few years. I would love to see Thwaites back in if Turner isn’t going to make her debut, that fourth option will be very important. I also think Brazill is better fitted at WD for deflection and intercepts but JLP has got this, kind of dirty mind you, but body on body way of playing which does push the WA out of their comfort zone.
Either way a great match and great win for Australia and LAs 100th Test match

I think it’s interesting to note that NZ had 55% time in possession today, same as the last match, I think their shooting percentage probably cost them tonight quite a bit

Well deserved MVP for Bruce. I don’t understand why she wasn’t brought into the game on Sunday. Her reach over the shot had all the shooters doubting themselves.

Hadley again has not stepped up at this level. Scherian Ok but not the answer either. I would have liked to see JLP in C, Braz WD and Watson in WA.
