<p>Totally irrelevant and minor point, but did Cane get on? I don't recall seeing him?</p>

<p>Nope, pity they didn't run him out for a minute after Broden's try.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think Hansen did it deliberately to wind him up for next year.</p> -
Ha whoops how did that go upside down.
-
<p>I want to know something. Why prior to the WC, for about the last year or two, have we started very slowly and then exploded in the last 20? Has this been some sort of deliberate plan? Last three games we powered out from the beginning. Anyway, I should be celebrating!!</p>

Turn it up. McCaw holds his leg, he frees himself, then its coincidence that McCaw rolls directly under his foot. McCaw sticks his arm up at the last minute for some reason - probably going the squirrel or some shit.<br><br>
Moral to the story: don't put your head in the wrong fucking place.<br><br>
EDIT: maybe that's why he didn't mention the opposition once in his speech post-game?</p></blockquote>
Whatever, it's dirty play to stomp on someone's head.<br><br>
And classy as always Nick. -

Na fark him, he's probably tweeting how silver mining is easier on the environment than gold as we speak . -

<p>Dirty fluffybunny that number eight. No doubt his apologists will point out he was saving an endangered species at the time..</p>

<p>Agreed. Its also dirty play to hold someone at a ruck. Accidental contact is another matter, and knowing how many cameras are around the ground, do you think Pocock would deliberately stomp someone on the head? Ludicrous.</p>

<p>As for class: the day you start publicly pulling up some of the Kiwi posters on here is the day I take notes from you on the topic.</p> -

<p>I'm not surprised - the amount of work he got through just in that second half was immense. Doing the business.</p> -

Go get some fresh air Nick
-
<p>Well done ABs, worthy champions. Enjoy the spoils, guys. Was great to see Richie and Dan at full flight one last time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Really proud of the Wallabies, so gutsy to get back in the contest in the second half. No disgrace in losing to that team at all. Played our hearts out.</p> -

Man that was risky to leave him on but he lifted. Put in some big hits. He didn't play wide and kept him in the middle of the park where we were getting over the gain line. -

I know your feeling gutted Nick, guys lets take a step back. Enjoy the moment commiserate with some bloody good Aussie posters here. -

<p>How many caps would that be? Like another 50 or so?</p> -
Yeah baby! So fuckin happy. What a way for some true legends of the game to go out. DC sublime tonight. Richie also. Conrad setup the crucial try just before halftime. Woohoo !!!! 3 times world champs, black to black winners. Just doesn't get any better than this
