I fucking hope Foster and Ryan come out and throw sour grapes.
I seriously hope they won't.
Its not our way

The art is in congratulating Boks for their Championship and managing to accumulate more points despite all their apparent limitations.
Then move on to expressing immense pride in ABs for coming back from almost impossible odds. -

Thanks All Blacks for a great final.
Congrats fella. Party time in Paarl

Credit to SA for the win, but I think we can say we lost that with a lack of composure at crucial times...several losses of our own lineout in thier 22, poor handling, pushing passes and not putting the ball out in that final 10 at every chance with thier struggling lineout.
We could have won it, but didn't.

Rugby is a funny game.
We won the set piece. Had more ball, more carries, they made like 2 and a half the tackles we did. Made linebreaks. And we just couldn't win.
Could have but didn’t. If we’d got ahead they were finished.

Papalii will be the captain next year.
Taukei'aho will be hooker.
NZ will start their best players, finally.
I’d like to hear your thoughts on where you think Ethan Blackadder will fit into all of this

Totally, not the ref, not SA, we lost ourselves. Mentally weren't sharp enough, I wonder who Gilbert's replacement is, that could be key going forward

I mean, not only was it immense because of the AB jumpers but ffs, you’ve got a blindside flanker throwing in and NZ barely kicked the ball out - muppets

@Dodge think it was 6 mins to go, we try to fucking run it from our 22...wtaf

That, but the throwing was generally ok. It was the read of the line out that was impressive.

It was ok in the second half when NZ didn’t compete (also baffling) but it was short nearly every time

Congratulations Cane and Foster good show
SA were smarter this what irks me
Rugby is not the same game cf 3 years ago. It's not easy but both yellows were preventable -
@NTA said in RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks:
I have no problem with the outcome of either captain's card. Clear difference based on the framework and mitigation.
Can you elaborate further ? How was Canes harsher than Kolisis ? ( i missed part of the latters as I was getting my third helping of bacon and eggs )
