RWC Week 4 review

A weekend nothing short of drama in the quarter-finals but we have our semi-finalists. Canada will face the black fernes for what could be the most exciting game of the tournament. And England will face France in a six nations showdown. 

It started with the black fernes winning over South Africa in one of the best games so far. South Africa came out storming the first quarter of the match and continued to fight until the very end of the game. But once the black fernes scored their first the floodgates opened for them. 

Canada sailed through against Australia, i was expecting more from Australia but they just couldn’t seem to get over the line but put up a worthy fight against a very strong Canadian side.

France just scaved through against Ireland in the most dramatic game of the weekend. Ireland were winning 13-0 at halftime, but France came out fighting in the second half. But the match with filled with controversial calls by the referee’s and mistakes made by France that were not picked up. The most notable of these was Axelle Berthoumieu’s bite on Ireland’s Aoife Wafer which was not initially picked up but Axelle has since been banned for 12 matches, the minimum punishment for this type of incident. 

How did the break out stars do? Sophie De Goede continued her streak of amazing games with 1 try and 4 successful kicks. Braxton also continued her incredible debut world cup with 2 tries and 2 successful kicks. Sadia played all 80 minutes in an incredible game against Scotland. Caitlyn also played 80 minutes in a thrilling game against Canada. Unfortunately Edel didn’t play in the game against France, a game which has been the biggest talking point this week.
