Women's Rugby World Cup

[Halifax Tar]

Folks,

If you get sliders today or are other wise off I would encourage you to close up at your local establishment and support your Canadian ladies as they take on the Black Ferns of NZ for WRWC semi final. The match kicks off at 3pm (Halifax time) today.

Also if youre in the HRM the Halifax Tars will be hosting the Fredericton Loyalists for the mens Div 1 and 2 Maritime Championships on Saturday. Games at 1300 and 1500 at the Tars home pitch the Admirals Club in Spryfield.

If you can figure out who I am I will buy you a pitcher of your choice from the bar

Big win yesterday! Well done ladies!

Incredibly solid defense in the second half.

Damn wish I'd seen this sooner. This would've been easy. I would have just dropped a poorly filled out triple-2-7 on the ground near your bench and wait to see who picked it up and looked at it with a chiefly scowl of disapproval.

Incredibly. The Black Ferns put on a lot of pressure.

I was surprised at the France/England match. France did better than I expected.

Can't wait for next week end. It'll be one for the ages, me thinks.

England plays a very balanced and complete game, and they are tough. The two sides are well matched. Let's Go Canada!

Last Friday's Canada likely would have beaten Saturday's England. We'll have to see how the teams show up next Saturday. Our Canadian women have improved every game. As 1/2 of Squidge Rugby said, what Canada did can be replicated. Not an aberration. Canada lost by 9 points in the last game v Eng last October....and that was without de Goode in the team........ And our bench is awesome too.

I'll be watching!

All I can say is I loved the women doing the haka

Go Canada!

I suppose by tradition I am required to support England (because Scotland has been eliminated).

If it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't have known that this was happening.

I didn't realize it, but apparently their is a difference between the haka done by men and women, with the women's Rugby team modifying it even further.

I was just looking at that tonight. Haka | Definition, History, Meaning, & Facts | Britannica

I just like how it appears in sports, like in the military, EVERYONE on the team (whatever the team happens to be), Indigenous or not, does the haka when the occasion warrants.

Awesome game so far, check it out on TSN if you can. Pretty evenly matched, although the England pack are an absolute force

 

[The Bread Guy]

Best of wishes from Team Royal to BOTH teams! (via FB)
