I have to rate 07 as worse than 99 based on the fact that in 99 the All Blacks just ran into a team that played like they were on roids in the 2nd half. They just had too much pace. Im quite happy to credit the French that day. It was like Nantes 86 but worse.lol
All of them are pretty bad,its like reliving going to the dentist.
Hold on a minute, it's not that bad!
Well that is a tad hyperbolic to be fair,and its easier to accept as you age. I put the last semi exit down to the ferocious Poms and how well they played. Theres been instances of AB teams exiting down to how badly they played but this recent one,im more accepting.
whooooosh.
In jokes everywhere around here
Newbies, huh?
You got to lurk for a couple of years, before ever posting. Learn the in-jokes and context. Just common sense.
Edit... I used the term “fluffybunnies” in a chat off-Fern last week. Confusion ensued.Yeah...well....I bet you're shit at sport tho! I doubt you ever even watched, let alone played. I'm considered a world authority on it.

Depends on the dentist
For those old enough to remember, the dental nurse brings back memories of childhood sadism.

ITV4 are showing the 2003 Australia-New Zealand Semi Final again later today. I would rather stick pins in my eyes that watch that again.
I'd rather be transported back several decades for 3-4 appointments with Pakman's school dental nurse.

Mils scored in the corner.
Shows you the cost of not having a good TMO. They suck at times, but avoid the howlers...

@nzzp UK commentators at the time. Nigel Starmer-Smith and Gavin Hastings both said try.
That's pretty conclusive. No try.

Not a terrible decision. 50/50, no video ref. Just a decision.
I was wrong above -they did go to the TMO. I think there's clear contact between the ball and the ground and his hand before separation ... so clearly try for me.

Lol, I didn't even look at video. Just went by my own, obviously dodgy, memory. Wow, TMOs were in use way back in 2003!

I had done that too! It used to be the 'in the act of scoring' -- in principle I'm still not disappointed with that. The issue with video tech is it robs the moment of scoring/taking a wicket/scoring a goal. The alternative is poor decisions though...

2019 was the most shambolic in terms of coaching strategy/game-plan but least painful given we had won the last two events.
The other exits had an element of hard luck involved. In 2007 ABs weren't awarded a single penalty in 70 minutes of rugby.
A young inexperienced Barnes froze on the big stage and cost us the game.
