2011 Rugby World Cup

Fair square win for the princes of the game. Aussies very good but not good enough to beat the gentlemen in black.

A great shame you won't get to play the red dragons resurgent for the crown.

A great shame you won't get to play the red dragons resurgent for the crown.

Personally woul.d have to agree
maybe many Kiwis and others would agree also altho die-hard AB supporters would LOVE to see the ABs destroy Fr for all the past triumphs they have had over them.
The way the Welsh played there hearts out, compared to the frogs and there hot cold & shitty non performances...as many are saying they dont deserve to be in the final.

but there coach is right .. they ARE there..who cares re the way they got there? ha

SICK of all this BS about french flair etc maybe so with the teams 20 yrs ago
but if you have the Coach bemoaning the teams off field antics .. quite like the way he lambasted them .. getting like the English teams SUPPOSED antics.

Whats up with some of these Northern Hemisphere teams? huh

 

[Drifterwood]

Abut there coach is right .. they ARE there..who cares re the way they got there? ha

This is true.

Their coach is as mad as a bucket of frogs. Still, he told them that they were rubbish when they were and here they are in the final.

Northen vs Southern . sort of only real chance you have is tonight?
looking fwd to wallabies knocking over the welsh tonight..haha maybe impossible tho
still happy whomever wins
Love the performing of james o'c hah

as for Abs vs Fr
needless to say 1st time in 4 years, baracking for the NZ ABs, reluctantly
but because its against the erratic Fr..down the frogs
stuff em ..comprehensively country be expecting 40-6 i would think
for all they have done in the past hah
wont say on/off field ..
12-3 be about right ha

 

[Drifterwood]

I think that we will want to show that we should have been in the final and the Aussies will want to show that they, if not champions, are still better than anything in the North. In 87 it was 22 -21. let's hope it's another celebration of the beautiful game.

wonderful effort by both exhausted teams just have to acknowledge determination of wales at the end
great trys by both sides

disgusted with kiwis treatment ... booing quade cooper every time he touched the ball
hope they live uncomfortably with guilt after he was injured so badly
that vitriole was thruout entire tournament noticably cowards kept there mouths shut at medal giving.

 

[Drifterwood]

Kiwi nails down 20%.

Only 24 hours left to go and see. Surely the French can't turn up and display that old Gallic flare, surely it will just be another attempt to win ugly that will fail against the ABs?

We await. Keep biting Kiwis.

The BIG night
off to Whanau (family) to view it all
HAVE to support ABs of course ha
tbh hope they do annihilate Fr, cant be bothered giving them credit for there supposed flair' (that was then)
they wont have any chance of showing it tonight..
feel the ABs will be ruthless
Payback time for the Country of NZ

fyi a little xtra re QC
understand he has consistently rubbished kiwis ( he of course is a kiwi)
his twitter accnt supposedly states many negatives, incl he would never have played for the ABs etc etc
Niece has personal close up experience over weeks of his arrogance, compared to other Wallabies exemplary behaviours
sooooooooooooooooooooo .. just wanted to offer the other side.
Human behaviours in sport huh?
Have yet to check out if the NZRU originally shunned the guy tho, and thats possibly why he shot over to Aus (only 3/4 years ago apparently) has this angst with NZ, and was picked up and nurtured by x Kiwi coach r deans..??

 

[Drifterwood]

What a great game. Berets off to the French, so nearly spoiled the party for our Kiwi hosts.

as far as i am concerned the french played a far better game than the all blacks, on the night and thats how i call it
they deserved to win the RWC 2011
despite all my rubbishing them
i believe now the ABs played themselves out last week shit scared the wallabies would beat them
Nothing would persuade me differently.

I agree that the ABs played two finals effectively and no doubt weren't so impactive the following week. Expectation is also like having a ten kilo weight on your back. You just have to look at the great McCaw at the end of the game to see what it has all taken out of the Kiwis.

But he was up to it even though the French took their opportunity as well as they could. In my mind the ABs were the best team at the competition and deserved it. Just. It wasn't a procession and that has to be good for the game. We have the Six Nations to look forward to and there are a lot of bragging rights up to be settled. Can't wait.

 

[rbkwp]

agree Drifter you do tend to soften the caustic edge i place on my thoughts
taking in another brothers view also helps me mollify my attitude a shade ha
Goodbye thread & RWC

 

[Brisfit]
