<p>Douglas was a massive loss in the final. He and Fardy were two standouts for sure and their work allowed others (incl Pocock) to do their thing. But Pocock was probably better across the whole tournament, if not at the end, just in terms of threatening opposition ball. Just wasn't as effective against the ABs.</p>

<p>Was just nice to see our forward pack operating as a forward pack, for a change.</p> -

<p>It's obviously a jealousy thing :)</p> -
<p>surprised MN5 hasn't come out of the closest and expressed his love of Pococks guns!</p>

<p>Rancid is a massive conservative. He'd probably prefer Pocock - in the absence of just shutting up and playing rugby - to be a coal-mining, homophobic, Muslim-hating, wife-beater who goes out beating up Indian students after the game with the boys for "a bit of fun on a fridee night"</p>

No no I really do admire the enormous sacrifices he's made for the very unfashionable causes he's championed.<br><br>

<p>Interesting, Pocock was admittedly ineffective against the ABs, didn't play the quarter final and to my eye was not a stand out in the semi final besides multiple missed tackles - yet was still the MVP of the tournament. Must've really done some damage against Uruguay or Fiji.</p> -

<p>I generally like my blokes a bit taller, leaner.....Pococks guns are almost too cartoonish but apparently he only deadlifts 240kg which isn't a hell of a lot more than me at my best.</p> -

<p>Yeah. Or those guys in the white shirts... England, was it?</p>

<p>Guess they don't count in this context, based on the TSF clause that states "Once an Aussie side humiliates an opponent, said opponent will immediately be ranked Utter Fucking Shite because of the Only Australia clause. Bro"</p> -

<p>Bernie Larkham was quoted the other day as saying Pocock made a big difference to winning or losing for the Wallabies.</p>

<p>Robbie Deans said the same in his book</p> -
<p>He was immense against England and Wales. The funny thing was though that every time Australia got a turnover or a penalty the coms screamed that it was Pocock when it was in fact Fardy or Hoopah.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Excellent player and ultimate professional. BUT, imho his lack of a running game prevents him from being a great player.</p> -

<p>Ah, the Fardy myth, as you may or may not know I watched a bunch of replays of WC games and concentrated on Fardy due to the fluffing he was getting ... I'm glad we have Kaino.</p> -

<p>No I'm not, if you think he was awesome then that's all good, I disagree he was up to the hype and am happy we had Kaino instead. As for give it a rest, if we have to give it a rest whenever we disagree this place will grind to a halt.</p>
