Well done to France they really gave it there all. Thought the match was a reminder that you don't need 7s type try counts for a match to be entertaining.

I thought the refereeing at the WC in general this time round was pretty poor. Can't think of a top line ref that didn't make mistakes. Barnes was pretty bad on Friday and made other big errors earlier in the WC. I think if Joubert had made the same mistakes in the final there would have been...

Well done to both teams. Was a great final to watch. Congratulations to NZ deserved world champions, but France had them on the ropes in the last 20-30 minutes.

The jersey clashing thing these days is getting a bit more like soccer where it's deemed the away strip of a team. Also wouldn't be surprised to see 2nd strip more often because they want to sell more of them rather than it being a necessity to change due to a clash.

Yeah just what the cardiff players would want. Come back from the WC expecting a heroes welcome only to find out all the news is about how you're now Henson's latest club. I think he'll draw attention to the club but generally Henson attracts the wrong kind of attention. Then within a year he's...

I think it would take less time to list players people wouldn't have put ahead of Weepu.

I think Williams going for the drop goal was more in frustration as they were looking for Jones to drop into the pocket for the drop goal attempt and once again he hid. It looked like more of a ffs if you wont try it I will rather than him being the best player to take it on.

I'd caution don't got your hopes up too high based on that match. James is a poor LH playing at TH. Australia's scrum reminds me of Ireland a few years ago with Hayes and Horan, they'd have one or two good games and we'd think our scrum problems were over only to be destroyed in the next few...

Agree officiating was terrible, but at least we saw the best piece of handling by a Frenchman in the entire WC so far in the first half from Roman Poite.

Great try by Wales there at the end, but why wasn't Shane called for being so far over the line he was almost in the stands when he was still setting the ball back.

There's a collectors item, Powell passing the ball instead of runing straight into contact.

Game over, well done Australia, much the better team on the day and deserve the win.

Sorry but that was funny. How did Australia make a mess of that? Good cover tackle by North but he shouldn't have gotten the chance to make it.

Shane Willaims was pinged for the same thing in the first half. Held in the tackle and not releasing the ball before continuing on.

Nice try there but how forward was that pass.

Wales don't seem to have an accurate goal kicker in today's team on current form.

Strange game so far up to half time. The intensity is there but the handling is like something you'd see from a first run out in a warp up game.

That's what's really annoying about the RWC year. At the moment the ranking of the six nominees is probably something like: 1-3 Kaino, Pocock, Nonu in whatever order you prefer 4. Dusautoir 5. Genia 6. Weepu But if France wil Dusautoir will jump from 4 to 1 based on one match and the rest of...

I think with wales it's a generational thing. The players on the way out are probably mentally soft, see Stephen Jones hiding when Philips was urging him to drop back into the pocket for a drop goal with 5 minutes left v France. Also the welsh regions not performing to their potential in the HC...

I'm really looking forward to the Lions tour, it's always great to see the best from the 4 nations coming together and geling as a team. I can't see it being a whitewash simply because both teams will be up for every test and if one or other gets a 2-0 they're likely to make a lot of changes to...
