    Might've been one of Graham Robert's (of Spurs and England fame) sisters, they lived around the corner from me on Weston Estate and were tougher and scarier than he was!...<yikes>

    One of them played Rugger as well, a right bruiser...<laugh>

    Then try watching the England women play rugby...a very good side who just roll the opposition over the try line. You wouldn't want to be in their way once they get moving. :)

    Not much of a summer break for some players! I wonder when they are back at Saints for pre-season?

    They all get a break so the international players return several weeks after the others.....nuisance for the manager, but they must be used to that.

    USA beat Thailand 13-0 in the Woman's World Cup. 10-0 in the 2nd half. Some of the Thailand players were in tears at the end.

    Saying the standard
    Great advert for women's football...

    Though I suppose it's reflective of women's football, a few have everything, most have barely anything.

    Aussies v Brazil is a good game in the women's WC.

    Not sure about that VAR decision though (How many times will we say that next year...), They wouldn't have been challenging for it if the Aussie player wasn't there in an offside position. No goal fo me.

    Some quality players for both teams though.

    21 for the Aussies is really good.

    Yep this is more like it for those who think that it is League One footie. Great quality on the pitch.

    Ball control and passing is excellent from both teams.

    Err no. They have a equivalent like, everything. Leagues, domestic cups, world cups.
    No need.

    Seen some dodgy footie in the group games so far but that was quality. I'm a convert.

    Looking forward to the knockout stages. The standard will be a step up. Will be watching for sure.
