You need a ref who won't let players take rest breaks.

Very slick by NZ. Argentina really have stunk the place in this tournament, right from the first game.

Great to see NZ in good form and playing smart attacking rugby. Telea coming back showed what they were missing against Ireland - doubt that match would've been quite as excitingly close had he started - and they look in great shape to take the title.

For all the pre match hot air, as one sided a match as everyone expected.

Indeed that will do. Well played the ABs. The Pumas get a 3/4th place play off. Hardly the worst of RWCs. :thumbup:

I’ve got to say Fosters strategy of troughing between world cups has proved a master stroke.

The Irish could learnings a lot from him.

Our goalkicking needs to improve. Four missed conversions is simply not good enough.

Or maybe just let Jordie take all the shots, not just the long range ones.

Mo’unga had an uncharacteristically bad game by his standards, roughly Barrettesque in execution. Like all the others who also made a few errors in their own game, he’ll be better for the run and it’s good to come away with a win in a game that showed some post semi final comedown.

Once you've made it to the final stages of competition you develop an understanding for the nuances of the game when it's played for high stakes.

Always that way when one team dominates to such an extent their opposition can't fire a shot.

Guess you don't like low scoring forward games either :think:
