We fecken did it boys!!! The Real Madrid of World Cup rugby ain’t no doubt
 
Randomly happened upon this and watch a rugby game for the first time. It was good fun and interesting to try and figure out the rules on the go.

These guys are absolute monsters.
 
Also Kolisi is the GOAT. Whilst the likes of McCaw are better players, the impact Kolisi has had on the nation over the last two world cups is unbelievable
 
Would feel sorry for NZ if they didn't beat Ireland on the way with a lot of decisions going their way on that night, and Reiko Ioane being an absolute knob.
 
It's been terrible. Quarter finals had two good games, that's kind of it?

Tonight was close and tense, but poor quality. Good tackling, if that's what you're into.
Oh bore off, it’s been an excellent tourney and if you didn’t rate it then sadly it’s not the game for you
 
Lucky not to be sent off
Yes but he is the first black person as the captain of the springbok side. The springboks were the crown jewel of the apartheid government. I don’t think people realise what it means

To be fair.... that's a Rugby World Cup final for you. They generally aren't flawless or overly great watching, a few aside. 99 and 2015 and maybe 03.

2011 and 15 were fecking woeful finals.
 
Du Toit was brilliant. Reckon the Blacks would have won with 15 players for 80 minutes, but they had 14. If the rugby league between England and Tonga had been refereed under rugby union Laws, they would have been playing 7 and side by the second half. Congrats to the Boks. No idea why we had to have drum and bass whilst waiting for a lineout or scrum. Soooo annoying, like drums at a soccer game.

Obviously not for me. Obviously not for many people, judging by how many countries are clearly going backwards. I mean a crap England came third while the game goes bankrupt domestically, Argentina cone 4th despite clearly being worse than they have been in years, the group stages had zero trepidation at all and went on for 6 weeks.

If rugby fans accept that as an "excellent tourney" then I don't know what to say.
 
I just can't stand SA since last world cup
They play horrible rugby, no denying it.

Think Ireland and France are 1 & 2 for the quality of rugby they play, but lack that bottle in knockout games. Ireland vs France would have been an incredible final and atmosphere.

The celebrations have barely started and you are already completely drunk. :lol:

unfortunately you still have the likes of mbonambi who wishes it was back in those times with his racist views.

France got screwed by the ref, it had nothing to do with having bottle.

I thought tonight was excellent entertainment. Red card could have spoiled it but NZ brought it, big time. The best teams in the world have all played brilliantly IMO. Second tier a bit disappointing but that doesn’t spoil the tournament.
