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.

I don't know that it was shit, but it was exactly when everyone expected.

Re-assuringly shit

That'll do.

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

Shh there in the out in the quarters seats. Talk to the Irish.

This just made the evening better.



Walrus is bitter as is the Irish journo.

Credit where it's due, Foster has reached the lofty heights of revered coach Laurie Mains.

To aesy.

Got to be.

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.

I see what you did there.

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

All Blacks vs Springboks will be a dream final.

Start D-Mac at 10. Please.

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

Being good enough to get there is one thing, of course.

Kept them scoreless in the second half.

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.

That was not worth watching on catch up

Sorry you weren't entertained. Maybe the next game will sway you.

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.

I'm not bothered about our opposition. England or South Africa? Bring it!

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
