Rugby world cup

Wales would’ve had ’em.
Well done New Zealand….

Unlucky France. They’ve been the better side today.

ah well the best team won. Congrats to the kiwis.

not quire the predicted spanking though, was it? 😉

Bloody hell that was intense!

glitch arse

Hope Joubert enjoys his holiday.

Refereeing needs to be looked at very seriously. High tackles, killing ball etc, all went unpunished. One point?

Glitch.

Thank god for that!

Blimey, 1 try 1 kick, to 1 try 1 kick.
Can’t say I predicted that!

The right World Champions though. Well done ABs.

game won by the ref.

Thought the French played very well, but well done to the ABs. I think the IRB really need to look at the refereeing; has been fairly inconsistent throughout the competition.

Abs def deserved it over the tournament but France stepped up tonight. Given how written off they were, they can be proud of that.

fairly inconsistent throughout the competition.

Agreed inconsistent is not good enough.

France must also cite McCheat for that knee. Not out of sour grapes, but for fair play.

Still, well done NZ. Must be a weight off the shoulders!

Neithetr Mccheat nor Henry mentioned France in their interviews.

Arrogant cockwipes.

FFS guys – stop whinging abut the ref. the best team won

Well said TJ.
Overall, the ABs have been the best team in the tournament by some distance.
Well done NZ, congratulations.

Whinging poms 😀

watched it in a pub full of irate kiwis all shouting ‘faaack!’ in unison.
Very entertaining.
Felt sorry for Weepu as he played well in the last two games.
Ruggery was man of the match for me.
Good final (second half anyway) for the neutral.

The refereeing is always going to be open to question when there are so many silly rules in the game, particularly some of the rules about the scrums, rucks and mauls – even the professional refs I know seem to spend ages arguing over decisions.

Anyway well done to the All Blacks who were the best team over the whole competition, and well done to France for making an exciting final.

Well Done All Blacks, you’ve done us proud. The best team in the world is finally again WORLD CHAMPIONS !!!

Ritchie, you’re a legend, shine on!

That new zealand dance thing (haka) is the most poncey thing in any sport!

Well done New Zealand but the awful news about Simoncelli has put such a downer on things

awful news about Simoncelli

?

moto gp rider killed a short while ago…

Ah – not a moto gp follower, but never good to hear about any sportsperson losing their life 🙁

Well I wouldn’t have wanted to be on duty in the cardiac response team anywhere in NZ for that game.

Seriously thought they were going to lose it. Great game by France, wish they had played like that all tournament.

Well done McCaw et al. Prevented 4 million Kiwis commiting suicide

Fantastic 2nd half. Well done to the All Blacks but congratulations to the French as well. If that’s a team in disarray I’d hate to see a well organised, harmonious French side.

they’d probably surrender 😆

Well done NZ – a royal battle between the 10m lines, but the NZ defence has been notable in this world cup.

it’s very tempting to quote some of the earlier posts going on about how the frogs were going to get hammered by the Kiwis 🙂

So thats it then folks, world cup over 😥

Not seen the game yet, been out trying to learn to be an advanced motorcyclist

Cheers to a_a, duckman and the other knowledgeable contributors to the thread. Really glad that France played well in the final and had the decency to lose well 😉

Ha ha that was close, bet there were a few kiwis wetting themselves.

red cards and bans surely

GET

OVER

IT!
