Anyway, for what it's worth I'm collecting some drinkies from the Dutch national captain tomorrow evening who bet me a bottle of wine that Aus and Wales would win at the weekend. I've told him to do the world a favour and predict that France win the final.

But I concede Dalaglio isn't that bright and Pienaar comes from a country where they think anything should be allowed.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostNZ were brutally efficient; nothing amazing, just good solid team play without errors. Did you ever see a NZ player isolated without support? Was there ever a moment that an NZ player committed himself to the ruck unnecessarily? Did they make any over the top tackles? No; every player had support on his shoulder every time he had the ball, the field was covered all the time and every time one player made a sensible tackle (just stop the guy is enough), another one was there to rip the ball.
Textbook rugby really, well deserved victory.

It was a bad tackle and deserved a red card.
Like others have said, it was the kickers that really let the side down. 3 pens, 2 drops and a conversion and 14 Welsh could have stuffed the French.
New Zealand looked in terrific form against Aus. Unless the French turn up for their 1 outstanding game then the trophy is NZs.

It's a shame that both Jones and Hook had such bad games. Halfpenny can be forgiven for his monster attempt but the other two are both ex Lions' kickers.
Still gutted but it's time to move on.

Originally posted by Incognito View PostIt was a shocker of a tackle and the reaction of the French after it says it all. There doesn't have to be malice, but a bad tackle is a bad tackle.
Shame, I was hoping Wales would win the WC.
The RC shouldn't be the talking point anyway, the kicking let Wales down.

Originally posted by malvolio View PostSo why were the other similar tackles during the competition- there were four of them - either unpunished or, in one case, yellow carded...? With no subseqeunt three match ban...?
