Reggae Girlz just won by the highest margin in their history, beating Dominica 18-0 in a World Cup Qualifier. Iconic Jamaican singer/musician/actor Jimmy Cliff passed away this week at the age of 81. Let's dedicate 'Reggae Night' (1983) by Jimmy to the Reggae Girlz to honour the singer and the team.

There’s no ambiguity left, no plausible deniability about “regime change” or “international security” or “domino theory.”

Since the World Cup, NZF has done nothing to bring Ferns games home, and just twiddling their thumbs hoping that participation rates alone would mean more awareness. The Ferns programme has regressed, exposure is almost nil, with tonight’s performance the result of the above. Embarrassing. #AUSvNZL

Intresting subplot with R5 of #ALW
To ask for a postponement you need to 4 players missing for international duty.
Canberra will be without, Anton, Heyman, Bertolissio… all key players.
Sydney are without, Caspers, Halmarick, Fante, Cassar, Sullivan.
Only Caspers is an automatic starter.

I think Victory vs Perth Glory might be the only #ALW game not massively compromised by the international window.
