Bloody hell, that footage of Van der Westhuizen not only holding his ground but bringing Lomu down was amazing.

I'm not suggesting that Rugby Australia don't take domestic growth more seriously, I was more taking issue with the 'stuff the international break' comment. We absolutely need to have a strong domestic comp, but it needs to be aligned to the high performance objectives RA sets, and a lot of...

Another phrase that should get autocorrected then.

I reckon the ABs have timed their run just right. They've built intensity as the tournament has progressed and look like they might be peaking at the right time. On the other hand, it feels like South Africa has scraped into the final on guts alone. Watch South Africa win this now and make me...

What's the point of centralising all of the high performance and aligning it to the national team if you are just going to say "stuff international breaks"? Like it or not, the international game is the attraction. Either way, good luck with ignoring the international window. Were was all of...

Glad that Barnes is reffing. Most suitable ref for the match.

Thanks Ireland and Argentina, you've forced me to go for the ABs in the final.

I do rate him, he's much more physical across the park, but his throwing is a definite issue. I wonder if the thought process is that they'll play him against the Argies and see how he goes with this throwing, with a view to having Coles on the bench in the final incase Taukei'aho can't get his...

Remind me how the US have been going in the RWC this year?

How's Taukei'aho's throwing been lately? Is there a chance the lineout will go to shit when he comes on?

This is either going to be a nailbiter, or over at halftime. There is no in-between.

Is there some type of scenario where it's possible for both teams to lose this game? That's what I'd like to see.

Someone suggested earlier that Larkham wouldn't say no to Phil Waugh and Joe Roff. If we were taking bets, that's who I would put my money on. I'm not suggesting it's my preferred option, but I reckon that would be the most likely scenario should Eddie pack it in on Monday.

Guys, can we rule 10 this please. It was annoying before, now it's becoming downright unpleasant. https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/welcome-to-g-gr-history-and-rules.7341/

Alright you lot, enough is enough. Agree to disagree and move on for crying out loud. Stop torturing the rest of us.

Long lunches don't sleep themselves off mate.

Congrats to the big fella, a shining light in a very dark season. From that roll call, a backrower has won (or shared) the poty 9 out of 14 times. And over half of those 9 poty were shared by 2 players. Looks like a centre, flyhalf or fullback has never won the GAGR POTY.

He doesn't know the answer mate, but the young need to replace the old. That's what I got out of it all. Oh, and apparently we've only been talking about these issues for five years.

Ireland look amazing. I've been watching them all year and they just seem to get better every single game. NZ are going to have to be at their absolute best to get past them in the quarters, and even then it might not be enough.
