I watched the opening ceremony and game but have never seen the final.
I did go to the two AB pool games in Melbourne. I even had a brief chat to a couple of ABs while walking around the city.

Objectively the worst World Cup.
Where do I start? Mitchell leaves Cullen out in favour of Atiga, Tana gets crocked in a freak incident as Carlos crabs across the midfield. Tana says he's okay to play, but Mitch and Robbie (the artist soon to be know as Dingo) pick the revolving door that was Leon MacDonald at 13. Mr Potato head gets a runaway try in the SF and we have to watch Johnny win England's one and only RWC

Was on a flight home from Europe to NZ during the semifinal. Air NZ pilot gave the halftime and full time scores. Plane silent.

Apparently Farrell was incensed with Biggar after the 'tackle' because Biggar said
'The Irish coach is shagging your mum'

Ben Atiga being selected ahead of Christian Cullen.
🤦‍♂️
Yes, we really missed that four and a half minutes off game time against Tonga from Cullen….
You do realise that Atiga was an injury replacement.
-
@ACT-Crusader For Ben Blair, yes. Christian Cullen got overlooked twice in 2003.

he didn't get any feedback at all? Wow.

Be interesting to know whether CC stands by that now or Robbie Deans’ version of the story. I suspect it is complex.
On the one hand Deans and Mitchell were not retained after the 2003 RWC, although their record elsewhere suggests that they were more than competent coaches.
