World Cup Final match thread
-
<p>Was enough excitement in my lounge for me...despite not normally being a fan, I loved a lot of Marshalls commentary in that game, particularly when Nonu & BB scored, probably summed up most Kiwis!</p>

<p>Justin Marshalls professionalism and complete and utter non bias was evident right at this moment.</p> -

<p>out of interest, why should he maintain any sense of non-bias in that moment (he showed it earlier too) but given he usually reaches further the other way, how should he act in that moment?</p> -

<p>just like the rest of us. A confusing combination of jumping around excitedly, while at the same time touching ourselves intimately and passionately...</p> -

<p>Well I guess NZ are certainly not alone in having biased commentators but people whinging about Channel nines commentary team should have a look in their own backyard once in awhile...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It sure was a terrific moment though.</p> -
You know what would be funny, if we used those shots of Barrett and DC as Barbs and NTAs profile pics...
-
<p>I guess the point is, Marshall usually tries so hard to be impartial he is sitting on the other side of the fence, I liked the way he called the final, obviously wouldn't want it all the time, but I thought it was fine, as I said above, he got pretty excited when Nonu scored too</p>

<p>Each to their own. I find him pretty irritating damn near all the time but not everyone can be Muzza Mexted or Bill McLaren.</p> -

Nearly as funny as if you ever congratulated Australia for being a better team at cricket, Veitchy.<br><br>
I won't hold my breath. -

<p>What's Retallick doing there? Typical. Behind every glorious AB moment is some dark-shirted prick illegally interfering with an opposition player...</p> -
<p>I'll break it down for you Barb, from a technical perspective.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What Brodie Retallic is doing there is, winning the world cup. It's hard to tell just from the still shot, but he's actually in the middle of a complicated, and terribly impressive movement, the end result of the movement being this</p>
<p> </p>

<p>pretty sure it looks like he is trying to lift him up to give him a half decent shot of charging it down given how unco he looks!</p> -
<p>Tarnished you say? The World Cup? That's cool, we'll take care of that. One thing you know the NZRU has is a shit load of trophy polish. </p>
