Josh VDF was disappointing. Rate him big time but that was a limp display tonight.
He was essentially battling Cane and Ardie in tandem too.
True that. Shit McCaw ate his lunch.

fuck Ireland should have been penalised 20 phases earlier for sealing off
Kneck roll on RI too
German commentators went "THAT'S IT, NZ WON, CLEAR NECK ROLL" and I was waiting for the TMO to say something. Where was Jonker when you needed him?
I’m convinced that Barnes and Jonker are in the movie production game, because the drama of not making any call until the Irish players could do no more and several AB players hunched over, to the crescendo of the Whitelock breakdown penalty was a thing that will be spoken of for the ages.
Well played Barnes!

Who was Sexton dropping the F bomb to in that video?
My guess is Dan Coles. They have a bit of history.

Or Ronan O'Gara perhaps

It'll be a big road back with lots of retirements before next cup, I think they'll go down before (if) they come back to current level

update from the NZZP house.
Onto poached egg, creamy mushroom and sausages on toast. Washed down by a nice cuppa tea, and an even nicer stout. I may regret this, but fark it, the sun is shining. Let's goooooo
I'll up you a second bottle of Marborough Pinot, Doritos and Davidstow Cheddar...

@Daffy-Jaffy one of the most significant factors they identified was scrum penalties. Their prop bored in to get dominance and got pinged.
I thought Wayne Barnes was good on big decisions including yellow cards but allowed a little too much at breakdowns which he usually does. And then pinged us unfairly - LF turnover when Sam had cleared ruck.

Cane and Jordie more deserving IMO
I really don't think any of them give a fuck, TBH. Least of all Cane.
Bollocks. Ardie was massive. The motor on the man is unbelievable. Cane steeped up but Ardie does this shit every time he plays.

I don’t mind if we don’t win the World Cup from here. That was our final. The Irish were the best team in the world. We stopped their winning streak. We were underdogs. We played 20 mins with only 14 men. This win was bigger than a final I reckon. Our best performance in four years. Just epic
Yeah nah. I'll go postal if they lose to Cheika and co.
Fuck that. We can beat the Frogs or SA on that performance. No offence to the Argies.

We have to get there first.
And, then it's a final, anything could happen.
If we final, the decision to keep Foz would be considered a success.
TBH, he's probably ahead of expectations.

Put 40 in the book next week. Semis are usually tense but this will be over real quick.
Not so sure. I think it will be a flat performance because emotionally and physically they'll have expended an enormous amount tonight.
