FERNS FRAZZLE ENGLAND

Michael from Trentham

Glory was again in Black at Eden Park but this time a women's team who where not expected to come close even to the rolling Roses that were the English.

Glory was again in Black at Eden Park but this time a women's team who where not expected to come close even to the rolling Roses that were the English.

Even the stats were against NZ - 16,000 female players in NZ including less than 1000 senior players to that of almost 600,000 female players in total within the boundaries of England.

How the game has grown though among women. When I actually wrote a published story on rugby numbers, NZ had just over 2000 female players and England 150,000.

The Ferns deserved their win. They had exhausted the English to such an extent that with a three point lead, twice the English could not take a penalty shot at goal because a successful kick (which was likely) would have only tied the game for extra time to be played which would have favoured fitter, faster NZ. And of the last three lineouts in the game, the English were outjumped twice when previously they had lost only one through to the final several minutes.

Substitute lock, Joanah Ngan-Woo who nabbed the ball in the final lineout with time up should become legionary because a clean take by the English 99% guaranteed them trytime with their almost unstoppable rolling maul.

Ngan-Woo hails from Wellington and is 1.82m tall.

So we have at least one new variant of Covid19 that is affecting a large number of people world wide and causing yet another burst of sufferers.

And Wellington has opened its doors to large cruise ships to visit with the "season's" first of 100-odd arriving here yesterday (Tuesday). Well, the weather was lousy for the 3000-odd passengers but so were these same passengers for us Wellingtonians as at least 5% of them carried with them Covid with many others either not relaying that they had Covid or don't know if they did.

Get real this is the now not the past some people will say. Look at the financial benefits for us they would say.
Weta Workshops and Te Papa had a busy old day. Presumably even Brewtown in Upper Hutt on a Tuesday was fully open for business.

I might suggest that "ordinary" local residents keep a schedule of Cruise ship visits and try and keep away from where the tourists might frequent.
