Bloody hell, almost two years without playing England? What a joke. Women's rugby needs more regular tests, not this mucking around.

got beat by Canada, mate. Wake up.

Stuff2026-06-24T08:53:46.000Z

Here we go again, Black Ferns hyped up after a semi-final loss. Get stuffed.

Sky Murphy2026-06-24T09:08:46.000Z

So excited! Black Ferns v England is always intense. Hoping for a good clean match!

James O’Brien2026-06-24T09:23:46.000Z

need more than hope. They gotta prove it on the field.

Hana Stewart2026-06-24T09:40:46.000Z

but still better than most men's teams these days lmao.

Hana Stewart2026-06-24T09:14:46.000Z

Can we actually beat them this time? Last time was close but no cigar. Need to step up the forwards.

Jamie Fox2026-06-24T09:32:46.000Z

C'mon, let's just enjoy the footy. Freaking negative nellies.

Eva Anderson2026-06-24T09:28:46.000Z

Why is this even news? It's just a test match. So much hype over nothing.

Alex Rivera2026-06-24T09:36:46.000Z

Good on them! Hope the girls smash it and bring home the win. 🇳🇿

Eva Anderson2026-06-24T10:23:46.000Z

okay, you keep believing that.

Taylor Wright2026-06-24T09:47:46.000Z

About time. Wonder if the ABs could learn something from the women's team about consistency.

Jamie Fox2026-06-24T09:53:46.000Z

Honestly, England are the benchmark. Great test for us. Let's go Ferns!

Sky Murphy2026-06-24T10:17:46.000Z

it's great for the sport. positivity mate!

Jack Morrison2026-06-24T09:59:46.000Z

Two years gap is ridiculous. NZ Rugby needs to sort their schedule out and stop treating women's team as an afterthought.

Taylor Wright2026-06-24T10:56:46.000Z

Exactly. Invest more and we'll see results. Simple.

Reese Morgan2026-06-24T10:12:46.000Z

Can't wait to watch. Invite the whole neighbourhood around for a feed and the game. Should be a cracker!
