And then to add to this; the Black Ferns were absolutely in the dumps. They completely overhauled their coaching setup in the lead up to this tournament because they looked as bad as they've ever looked to end last year. England embarrassed the Ferns and now we're here.

Yeah - although the result was almost certainly a result of the deserved red card

The tackling is getting really bad. They all want to poach the ball and then refuse to get low. I'm seeing at least a concussion or HIA in basically every game I watch.

It's happening at the lower levels, too. I'm a ref and I call multiple high tackles per game because no one wants to go low anymore.
