Did Townsend or that other made up name ever play 10 and take the Shield off a dominant Auckland team?

Can’t speak for the other guy but Townsend was too busy being awesome against France

Not sure there's enough drink in the world to persuade me to rewatch...

That’s the travesty of that final. It was completely ruined because one side got treated to being reffed like it was a crime scene.
Completely ruined it for me and everyone supporting NZ.
I wonder if World rugby have the self awareness to realise that the game they have created is one of the reasons for their officials getting pilloried on social media. It is certainly one of the causes

The officials and the application of rules became the main event. So cart then horse.
You would think with all the technology the game would flow better.
Has to be the main work on for 2024.
A lot to be encouraged about though with much grand rugby including from the lesser known countries. -
The game was actually better when Bernie was scoring in the corner

It’s easy to get caught up in the officiating in the final because it IS the final but it is a general blight on the game and of course it affects every team’s journey within the tournament. One can argue about a particular incident or even how a whole game was officiated (I can’t say reffed anymore because he is no longer the arbiter), but for me the biggest thing is the constantly changing interpretations. It seemed clear within the tournament that the thresholds for reds and yellows were a lot lower in the pool games and then a collective “let’s move the goalposts” in the knockout phases. Which is shite for the players, coaches and fans.
