e speaks the truth here methinks
Well not really, he blames the 'rankings'. There is nothing wrong with the rankings, it WR using the rankings from the sometime in the 18th century that was the problem

'Got it wrong': NZ great slams monumental Rugby World Cup blunder
Two-time World Cup winner Sonny Bill Williams has blasted World Rugby for its draw blunder.
Not sure how a guy who was consistently kept out of the team by Nonu and Smith is a ‘great’ but he speaks the truth here methinks. @MiketheSnow take note !
Time to move on from the draw isn’t it?
NZ vs SA final who had to knock out the two faves, Ireland and France.
Only plus of it being SF instead of QF is getting to see Sextons face whilst playing for third (literally, turd).

French and Irish "journalists" and "fans" are a pox on rugby. A plague on both their houses, whiny fluffybunnies.
Agree on the Irish. But the best rugby journalism on the planet is all in French. Do yourself a favour and Run the last two issues of L’Equipe through google translate.

Seems as good a place as any for my favourite rugby great interaction of this RWC. As we’re leaving SDF one night, there’s a huge crowd waiting to take pictures with one former AB.
Hoping it was Sir Richie, I take my boys over. Quelle bloody surprise, it’s the Beaver. He was being a real gent. All the time in the world for everyone.
Standing a little way off is a big fella, chainsmoking. So I leave my boys to get their picture and shake the great angler’s hand, to join this fella for a cheeky sport stick.
It’s Jerome Fucking Kaino. Says it’s always like this.
Come to think of it, we met a fairly decent backrow over the course of our 10 days: Richard Hill, Jerome Kaino, Skinstad and Leguizamon. No out and out openside, but I’d take my chances.

@Smuts i love shit like this. Good things should happen to good people.

Kaino looks bigger in the flesh doesnt he ?
We walked towards each other on a footpath in Newmarket a few days before the 11 WC final , he was wearing a singlet , a big raw boned bastard
