Just to distract us from current events let's travel to Ingerlund eight years ago.
Best of RWC #17 - 2015 Upsets
I had been half-heartedly watching the delayed coverage of the overnight match between South Africa and Japan. I mean why bother? The Boks were going to win this by the length of the straight. Could stay in bed and catch up on results later.
Best of RWC #18 - 2015 Classics
RWC VIII in England was generally entertaining, a welcome change to the previous events hosted in Europe, and as a result there were some absolute belters of games.
Best of RWC #19 - 2015 Final
The build-up doesn’t stick in my mind like the screaming agonised panic leading into 2011. Which is a good thing. Sure there was nervousness but also the quiet confidence of the All Black fan.

I still think Bernard Foley's game against England was as good as Dan's against the Lions. He did everything, and tore England to pieces. He was never going to be able to reach that height again, he's not that level of player. But that day against England he was incredible.

i watched the highlights of that final again, and i had forgotten how close they got before Dan, who was on a one-man mission, just decided to go win the game. BB's final score makes it look a lot more comfortable than it got when Benny got himself carded.

@mariner4life we were doing it comfortably until Ben decided to have a rest and make a game of it.

We were doing it comfortably u til Nige inexplicably decided not to award us a penalty when we destroyed the aussies scrum and instead Kirtley got an intercept which then. Got the ball downfield and led to the YC
