The Silver Fern

Apologies for the admittedly blatant trolling. I should remember not to lower my standards to the dickheads that I'm annoyed about.
Tough luck in the final. It was a coin toss. Just like the QF and all of the SA games. I wanted the NZ style of rugby to triumph but puke rugby wins trophies now unfortunately.
The officiating of the game needs to evolve and change to encourage positive rugby.

In all seriousness, a bit of context: I'm from Canada but live in Ireland. There is NOBODY still talking about that game here, never mind whining, it hasn't been mentioned since the Monday morning coffee conversations. One or two journos are NOT representative of the general population, in fact they have the same opinion of the the journos most mentioned on here as you guys. Probably the difference is that rugby is a minority sport here, maybe fourth in line, so everyone just moved on to the next thing pretty quickly. Personally I think they have a healthy attitude to sport, enjoy it without letting it get too heavy (apart from Gaelic football maybe, which can be a bit crazy!!). It was actually a kiwi who pointed me to this forum, to show me how intense the whole rugby thing is in NZ.

Love this thread, absolutely hilarious, only ruined by the minority of sensible posters contributing balanced and fair comments. Particularly love the whingeing about whingeing, classic!

All lovely guys on here I see lol 🤣
