@kiwiinmelb yep, many were quite gleeful in the talk of the worst ab side ever, nz rugby is dying, the generational Irish side were marching towards glory...sure we still got issues, but I think Fozzie has planned things much better than anyone thought he was capable of.
-
To be fair, I agree with Goode and I was supporting the All Blacks
-
-
@Dodge thought he let the Rgies away with a fair bit early on too, pretty much set the tone for the match...
Sadly, the standard of officiating across the board isnt really as good as it needs to be.

@antipodean 7 tackles made, none missed 🤷♂️
Perhaps I got him confused with someone else.
-
Feels like we are in 2015 again with all the whinging from the neutrals.
-
I think the series were a bit hard done by in places, but go through with a comb, you'll see he let a lot go. ABs just used it to win.
-
Fuck the whingers we are in the WC final, they aren't,Lets finish it off and bring Bill home.
Losing the Final would be shit getting that close and finishing runners up might as well have been knocked out in the QF.
Nervous as hell now for the final.Might have to get some serious meds in for next week. -
Oh no! The secret is out. The real reason the All Blacks have made five World Cup Finals is that we’re really, really good at cheating.
We’d have got away with it if it wasn’t for you pesky kids!

Does Foster break dance if we win?

I think he might have a heart attack if he tries.

I think we are well placed , lots of little things like our defence, set piece etc the things we have been concerned about in recent years , seem to be falling into place .
Individually, all the players seem to be fit and in form as well .

Just the exits, kick chase, and cards to fix for the next one

I’m not saying some Irish fans took last week’s beating badly but tweets like the below make me laugh.
I'm torn between doing laps in the sea of salty tears and acknowledging they're not wrong about Gardner's competency.
-
@antipodean The officials were appalling tonight, but I’m far from convinced that their incompetence favoured one particular side or had much influence on that result.

That's why we can't have nice things.

@MN5 it’s a common theme from a Lot of neutrals on twitter some journalists and ex players who should know better
Schalk Burgers tweet surprised me
Funnily enough most of it out of Ireland and Africa -
Predictable outcome. Good margin which reflects some individual brilliance (A Smith, Jordan) built off the back of the basics: set piece dominance and accuracy at the breakdown.
The question must be asked: Did Mo'unga look up to see an unmarked Jordan and say "fuck you bro - you've already got 3 tries!" because otherwise that was a try brutally murdered.

Great stuff.
Is that Jordie Barrett strapped to his leg?

We’ve taken advantage of the draw to get to the big dance.
Huge effort against Ireland and apart from exits, very clinical today.
I fly out on Tuesday, it will be epic to be there!!

@NTA said in RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina:
set piece dominance
I will make a point about this with regard more to the officiating. I thought the ABs had the upper hand at scrum time, but also got some favourable decisions.
51:17 - EdG elbow pointing down, he overextends and hits the deck. ABs get the penalty for Argentina collapsing? No help from the touchie there I will say as it was obvious live, but Gardner was on the other side.
We've got to take important things into consideration here:
@Kiwiwomble said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
its scumming 101 to keep your elbow up to keep your shoulders square....elbow down = shoulder down = collapse
I know, right?
There was another scrum one of the props overextended and put a knee on the deck but I think it was play on, thankfully.
What do these things mean? Nothing for this result. Against South Africa though they'll need to tighten up.
Massive for Gardner as I think it will finish any chance he had at the final. Not accurate enough.
I'd also comment that Dalton was off the side of the scrum early, nearly every time he packed down.
-
@Machpants not too loud 🤫
-
@MN5 Ref blaming ,will find the post and pop it up ,was a bit surprising coming from Schalk
-
Swings and roundabouts. Argie got the rub of the green by Gardner when they won in Parramatta vs ABs.
-
Ref missed about half a dozen off the ball tackles by the Argies and did nothing about it, so we adapted and did it too. Was ridiculous how many times we had players taken out early on. Ref performance wasn't biased, he seemed more interested in keeping the game going. How about Jordan being taken out, if we'd done that, we'd have a 100% yellow. What does it take for us to get a favourable call in those circumstance, a beheading?
-
I'll add some of the scrum calls that went out way looked dodgy, yes we had the dominant scrum but looked like we went down at least twice yet got the penalties.
-
@MajorRage so who is your top 5 refs ..?
Because it just seems after every game there’s an issue with the on the day official -
@Steven-Harris he’s worried 😬. The Bok/AB rivalry is strong
-
Solid win.
Great to watch a game where the opposition don't run players in front of the ball.
Hungus Mo'unga better not do that in the final.
A Barrett getting a card, hopefully they've collectively got that out of their system now.
Had the 3 Aussie commentators, one of them is such a whiny bitch, so much so that the other two have to correct him multiple times when he says stupid things about the ABs.
-
@Steven-Harris I imagine he didn’t have much to say about the ref after the France game 😂
-
@Steven-Harris I was surprised Luke Pearce didn’t get tonight’s game. Gardner was a weird call
