Japan plays a good game.
The Japanese team has been improving steadily this whole year....so good to see.
A few are not committing to the tackle.. they do that against Aussie and its over red rover....
Shocking defense at end. Do that in the finals ( if we get thru with that kind of defense ) and it's all over. Stay true BFs.. don't get too complacent please ! GO FBs!!!
Points system needs to be overhauled... How can Black Ferns with two losses all season compared to Aussie's six, be in second place 😂😂
some pathetic defense from the black ferns
Miller would be a great centre in the 15s, if she ever wants to switch from 7.
Where is Olive Watherston? She has been outstanding starting and off the bench! This should be Saili’s last tournament her consistency has been in decline for a while, Sweeney needs to sort the bench out!
Tighten your defence ladies. Left a lot of gapping holes against Japan.
I love when Father Dougal is commentating !!! He's gr8🍀
Kiwi 12 badly missed tackles in two of those tries. Weak link on defence.
Tackling has been horrible the last to series ??
Miller is the super star of this era absolutely amazing
they stick with the grabby arm tackles Oz will do them again
Japan wow what a game congratulations ladies. NZBF will need to be better in defence or Australia will do the damage. Heads up NZ we go again
Way to go Japan some innovative stuff there 👍 Congrats Black Ferns 💪🏾💪🏾
Brilliant 7s match to both teams 💪
I love both teams, awesome game from both teams. Love at how the Japanese females never give up and kept playing on most other teams would have given up after the Black Ferns have scored 3 trys Love you Black Ferns and the Japanese females 7's teams you both rock From a Maori living in Australia
The Bench players need to execute their roles and provide Impact! The starters are doing their job, but are being let down by the Bench players!
Jorja is her ⛳
