RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks
-
Have to agree with Izzy on Frizzle...but the rest is whinging
-
We seem to be doing too much movement in setting the lineout, get a few to #2 and regain confidence in it.
We lost 2 of our own in thier 22, cannot win doing that
-
Fat lady hasn't sung yet. But there can be no margin for error. If the Boks were willing to go for the knock out blow then I'd say game over. But they won't. They'll grind. Hopefully that will be their undoing and our salvation. Ah fark this stress
-
We will lose, that much is clear, unless SA gets a red card.
Cane had one career great game against Ireland, absolute shit most of the time.
-
Yellow on Frizell was total bullshit. Cane's red is fair enough.
PSDT has been outstanding.
We've looked a bit rattled. Still in it, but it will be bloody tough.
Need to score an early try and get our noses in front.

We score a try after the half and everything changes. They are just sitting waiting to profit from our mistakes

Weird they didn't look at Ebne leading with the extedned elbow on Cane's head, especially with the TMO looking at everything
Yes, I noticed that live. South Africa seem to live a charmed life with this stuff
-
@Tordah I noticed that in real time, just another random head contact that is sometimes ruled on, sometimes not
-
Half time coverage, that’s when I hit the off button on the TV.

Foster first, first team to score a try in rwc final versus boks
-
Sam Cane, one good game in four years, better make him captain. That is why Foster can fuck off.

You’ve said the same thing about ten times in a row now
-
We are paying for a lack of physicality and discipline. Foster never sorted out either.
-
Go through the middle, muscle up, kick for the corners, big sub impact. Smart rugby can still win this.

Tim please think of the Chiefs supporters.

@Machpants is that the first red card in a RWC final?

Yep.
-
The difference in quality of kicking game between the two teams is night and day.
-
I’d love to have Blackadder on the beach to bring on in the second half.
-
Dumb that the ABs put themselves in this position. Thought it would come from SB though.
The game is fucked with the rules as is. Understand intent to protect the head but I would be just as irate if this happened to the Boks. Game ruined. So if we keep it close a moral victory? I say fuck it and sportsmanship and go postal. Not normally my response but I am filthy right now.
-
Ben Smith had the only card in RWC finals history before the first YC tonight
-
Sami, SW, Paps , SB 6, TW go 8 forwards
Pick n go
This is Petone into the wind -

We all know rugby is a card lottery. We are only 6 points down.
-
SA are offering nothing. They ran it with intent once. Just have to play mistake free and disciplined rugby. Go thru the middle a little bit more.
-
@taniwharugby In the men’s RWC Final. An English woman got a RC in the women’s final last year.
-
I get that Cane should have been smarter. But it’s the lack of consistency that f&*ks me off. Similar has been seen in this tournament without it being upgraded to a red. So much of this seems subjective. And when the opposing team gets away with something of similar nature you realise the game is cooked. You just can’t have the pinnacle of world sport blighted by lottery-like decisions by unaccountable nobodies in back rooms. It’s a joke.
-
Looking at the red card in real time, it really looks like fuck all. Slowed down of course gives the ref no option. But its disappointing that the biggest game of the world cup is all about Barnes and the TMO.
-
DONT GO 7 BACKS
-
This is obviously massive pie in sky, but if by some miracle we pull this off who lifts the trophy? Surely not Cane.

With at least one obstruction in that play…
I don’t think our kicking game has been too bad. Need to get our chasers going though.
Keep putting pressure on their lineout, that is vulnerable.

@Rancid-Schnitzel The moral captain, Sam Whitelock.
-
Cards for the Boks please

It’s the quality of the chase as much as the kicks, Jordan seems to jog after the ball

Just waiting for someone to bring up this bullshit

@sparky said in RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks:
Cane was upright. He made connection with the head. The RC was the right decision given the directives, I’m afraid.
It was, but we are effectively sending players from the field for errors in judgement where they have missed their target, with no ill intent. I can't really think of another sport that does that and it hurts the spectacle.

Huge 40 mins coming up...

Do a Kirk Dalton job, with Came looking sheepish
