RWC 2015 Final - Australia v New Zealand, Twickenham, Sunday 1 November, 3:00 AEDT

Silver lining is Cheika has only had a year with this team.

Too many mistakes, no possesion. Surely the Folau experiment is over, he offers nothing at this level. We need a test quality 10 badly. Abs too good. Deserved the win.

NZ definitely deserved to win but take off those dodgy 10 points at the end of the first half and I'll give it to them by 4

Wallabies, you did us proud to get this far, well done boys!

Go easy on Izzy mate. He's one of the best 15 in the world. Agree about a 10 but a decent 9 is desperate.

Commiserations to the Wallabies and their supporters. One hell of a test match. That second half you boys put us under huge pressure.

That drop goal by DC was a momentum changer.

Carter finally got to have his World Cup moment. Perhaps nz fans will finally stop booing drop kicks.

Classy speech Moore. Commiserations to Wallabies and fans. Thoroughly deserved to be there.
Have a great xmas/new year and see you for the soup.

The circumstances that lead to 10 of the points were not entirely fair, but 16-3 was not an unfair representation of the first half.

Nothing wrong with that one.

I don't know how you come to that ridiculous conclusion. The wallabies were certainly outplayed in the first half but their scrambling defense stopped all legitimate tries.

Owens was a complete joke. You have 3 points after an obvious forward pass and a try after two obvious missed calls.

The fact is you had a massive hand up from the referee. One if the most one sided halves of referring I have seen.

 

[HJ Nelson]

Bad luck boys. Congratulations to the All Blacks

 

[louie]

big of cheika not to have a go at NO, I would have a said the c-bomb more than a few times

 

[Marcelo]

The drop goals should be 1 point like the League

 

[Aussie D]

I agree. Kepu, Moore, Giteau, Genia, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mitchell all them are teenagers. And they are almost the half of the starting XV

We have a core of young players who have been blooded though - Sio, Douglas, Simmons, the Pooper, Phipps, Foley, To'omua, Folau. Some of the players NZ are losing would go close to being 'best ever' in their position. I'm looking for positives to wash away the bitterness of defeat.

Fuck Cheika is a class act, the interviewer trying to milk him with 'rub of the green' comment and he is full of class it the response. I fucking love rugby even more
EDIT:
Some misspelling there, now looking Cheika going through the NZ players congratulating them, fuck he is a class act.

Now being on the piss for more than 6 hours I love rugby even more today

Here's a positive. Wallabies will go through 2016 undefeated.

No doubt Owens made some shocking decisions against the Wobs in the first half............

But what did they do to correct that? Better team won on the day..........

 

[Mr Doug]

A gutted Cheika, makes sure he congratulates each NZ squad member, individually!

 

[Benaud]

Great comeback. Good spirit. Just couldn't quite claw it back.

Scoreline flattering to All Blacks but better team ended up winning.

Agree with Cheika. Gotta be proud of the boys there. Great effort. Kiwis just a bit too good tonight.

From the NZ perspective: Aaron Smith, Brodie Retallick, Julian Savea, Dane Coles, Owen Franks, Aaron Cruden, Sam Cane, Beaden Barrett, Ardie Savea, NMS, Ben Smith.

It was awarded a penalty and advantage was given to the Wallabies. They made good metres after that tackle.

You don't think it should have been reviewed for foul play? It was a pretty bad knock right across the chin. A lot more dangerous and less controversial than the kepu hit on carter

I was just going to say same thing sauv, was real pleased to see both coaches shaking hands with opposition, I love this game!!
Think Moore was class too!!
Obviously I am over the moon , we can now no longer hear comments about can't win away etc etc.
What a great tournament England has done itself proud!!
