Curtain waltzes straight back in, Gray out

 

[Zaggo]

Grey is injured to be fair.

I thought LTQ was pretty poor at half last week. When Maliepo went off, it was up to Laishon to do all the kicking - what kind of half can't kick the ball?

Curtain is fucking slow though, and has the lateral mobility of a slab of basalt. Shame we couldn't have pinched the likes of Tyla King.

Brake is out, Takimoana moves over and Wetere slots in. Kia is out and Lauitiiti is in at interchange so a bigger forward pack. Up the Wahines!

 

[Leon Black]

6-0 to the Cowgirls running into a 45km wind, we bombed a try, Curtain putting in some good little kicks, been our only attacking threat.

 

[Leon Black]

Atai small for a back rower, tackling technique outstanding. Ziggy is a shit ref, made multiple dud calls against us.

 

[Leon Black]

Maliepo’s kicking game poor today, keeps kicking it into the defence

 

[Leon Black]

Ikenasio is outstanding, held up over the line, Ali’s daughter is a handful. She scores just too strong

 

[Leon Black]

6-6, 8 out from halftime

 

[UpDaWahsAucks]

I'm glad we've figured out their forwards want nothing to do with our pack right now. if we have to just do one off power runners down their throat for the next half and a bit then thats what we need

MFM and Ivana monstering them

Some excellent goal line defence keeping Cows out!

 

[Leon Black]

Atai BOOM

 

[Naynay]

She fell over after playing the ball surely should have been a turn over

 

[Leon Black]

40-30 from Maliepo

 

[Leon Black]

Sin bin FFS ZIGGY!!!!

Sin bin FFS ZIGGY!!!!

Laying in the tackle for 3-5 business days she was.

 

[Leon Black]

Halftime: Wahine 8–6.

Nicholls, Ikenasio, Atai, Butler, and Lauititi have been our standouts so far, with Kitai strong again through the middle. Maliepo’s kicking improved late in the half, and Curtain’s been solid today.

Cowgirls have the wind at their backs in the second half. Their try was a gift, helped by a dubious bunker call.

 

[Leon Black]

Girls defence been great today… Cows still on attack. Hold them out
