According to utility forward Catha Jacobs, the scoreline last Saturday was not a fair reflection on what happened at Eden Park and will go into the Fiji match with a very positive mindset.“The stats speak volumes of our effort. We had 49% possession and 17.1 attacking minutes, compared to France’s 51% and 17.6 attacking minutes,” said Jacobs.
“As we saw in the penalty stats, we conceded fewer penalties than France. They conceded more because they were under more pressure than us, mainly because our forwards had the upper hand in those first phases,” she said.
