Press release from The Rugby Football Union In recognition that two of our former colonies are playing the final in a sport that we started, we have decided to rename Twickenham Stadium temporarily in honour of the occasion. When approached for comment, Chairman Hugh...

Plus he forgot about the defense coach Wayne Smith. Someone the English want to poach as their coach. Possibly a little over generous to call Carter v Foley any less than Carter all the way. Vito over Mumm if it comes to an open, free running game. McMahon does not have the experience of big...

I have noted Dismal's absence from these forums. I have a horrible feeling that his new avatar, that I forced him to adopt after he lost the bet, has stifled all creativity and flair. Much like it stifled all the creativity and flair of the Auckland Blues. Dismal, if you are reading this, I...

Think you got the wrong forum.

I was referrring to the fact that George Ayoub could have come up with all sorts of decisions that did not reflect reality. Jesus, I need to pick my words more carefully.

Pretty much every ref won't get too tough on the not straights if the other team does not try to contest them. Keeps the game flowing.

I think some would disagree with you over that, like the SMH. But not me!!! I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't think it would have affected final results if it had been called forward. I just reckon you guys were lucky George Ayoub wasn't sitting in the TMO box and asked to judge it...

Got that part right. I think (most of ) us kiwis won't be that bad. There will be some hysteria in the media in an attempt to get ratings but I can generally ignore them. We are attempting to do what no other team has ever done. Win back to back. At least we have the opportunity to play for it...

I'm not arguing either way. I was just answering a post that didn't know which one was suspect. There is no way I am going to get into this argument.

It was Drew Mitchell's pass to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) that was forward (or suspected of being forward). Can't of been as it is not like Barnes to miss a forward pass.:rolleyes: Doesn't matter anyway. I am pretty sure the Argies would not have been able to string enough phases together to get over the line...

Owens. Was confirmed yesterday prior to All Blacks game.

Not like Barnes to make some poor decisions in crunch RWC games.

close!

THP too high. ARG LH getting underneath him every time.

Rough yellow. Barnesy keen to send him off. TMO trying to be voice of reason.

Nah, play him the full 80.

Argie backline passing in slow motion. Will be expecting another intercept soon.

Is that smiley avatar of the Guru Kirwan getting to you?

Not when the game is screening at 4am so we don't need to depart until game over.;) At least I didn't bet against the ABs. I know a certain someone sporting a shiny new avatar based on last weeks game. Not saying who, but:

I got lots, really. Well ... 6, but they were big.
