Some of the women’s games are better than the men’s to watch I find, they don’t have the same size/bulk power mismatch usually so can be more open with more passing and looking for space and using the skills rather than a 20 stone unit just looking to smash into another player.
Always a quicker game that is played.

Obviously i'm biased, but I feel that's quite a harsh red card
I think World Rugby recently (last week?) issue some new, stricter, guidance over the "croc" roll clear out. So probably unlucky as if it happen in a few weeks time they'd have stopped reffing it...Phase 2: Law amendment recommendations for global adoption
Law amendments will be discussed and agreed at the World Rugby Council on 9 May. They will look at changes to some current laws:
• Law 10 in relation to players being put onside when there are kicks in open play, as per the current Super Rugby Pacific trial which aims to reduce kick tennis.
• Removal of the scrum option from a free-kick at a scrum, reducing dead time.
• Outlawing the practice of the ‘croc roll’, reinforcing player welfare focus

Commentary team saying the Eng 3rd try shouldn’t stand because the Welsh 9 was scragged from a ruck but surely if the 9 has the ball in her hands by definition the ball must be out?!
I thought exactly the same hence why no penalty. As soon as the 9 has lifted the ball off the ground, they're fair game. That's a fortnight out the way so let the games begin!
