Well my wife & neighbours just got an early wake up call....

Sounded a lot like:
"MITCHELL!!! HOW GOOD DREW MITCHELL!!!!!"

Anyone else notice that that try came after Genia went off? If he'd got that ball he'd probably have box kicked it.

I've also noticed three shit passes from Phipps so we'll call it even

 

[Spruce Moose]

NH commentators claiming forward pass, probably tend to agree.

 

[Mr Doug]

Why is Mr Barnes wearing the Argie colours on his jersey?!!

Nah, was projected backwards, bounced forward

Credit to the Pumas though. For a nation that mainly follows the round ball, they are the epitome of rugby - guts and determination. No doubt they'll be even better in 2019. Viva los Pumas.

Yippee. Fat Shiela Songing

AUS 29 ARG 15.

It's an ANZAC GF.

 

[Bullrush]

And what about the Wallabies defence?

LOL - I think the Wallabies will be in a lot of trouble if they give the ABs the same amount of chances and opportunities

 

[Shelts89]

Fair play Australia. Gonna be a good game next week, NZ can score from anywhere but the Aus defence has been the best of the tournament right?

Credit to Argentina though, them and Japan have been the best teams to watch as a neutral.

Both of us didn't concede a try. Worthy finalists.

Our second half was pretty dreadful in a lot of ways to be honest... bad scrums, and braindead decision making when we'd won the ball (still can't quite believe Foley attempted a fucking drop goal with 20 to go), but the last 10 more than made up for it.

MOM has to go to Fardy or Pocock

Stuff the 3rd place final, just give it to Argentina. They sure as shit deserve it. Fantastic effort from Argentina.

Well done Wobs. See ya next week.

 

[Beer Baron]

Fardy was immense! And pocock...wow.
Hate to say it... but cheiks... leave beale at 15.

 

[Hell West & Crooked]

Take a moment here... and draw a breath... The team that was in tatters, had us tearing our hair out just 12 short months ago, is in the Rugby World Cup Final!!!!!!!

 

[Viking]

Pocock makes the world of difference... I wonder what is going on with Hooepr and his running, doesn't seem anywhere near the same threat he once was. Still a great player though.

 

[TSR]

What an outstanding effort. How do you pick MOM out of that. Moore, Fardy, Douglas, Pocock, Genia, Foley, Mitchell & AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) all outstanding. Bench impact very strong.

I think I heard AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) which isn't surprising. Launchbury was a close 2nd.

We were going nowhere after lots of phases and then got a lineout throw at the same spot.

Well donde fellows, you played better. Now good luck for you at the final.

We lost in the lack of concentration of the first minutes. You won on the breakdown, with Pocock and Fardy essentially. I'm happy for the argentine scrum.

I didnt see that knock on in the last scrum of the 1st half, for me it "was projected backwards, bounced forward" like someone said for the aussie pass in the last try.
Argentina players were so tired in the last 15 minutes, Aussies were fresher. It's a shame we didnt get a try.

 

[Shelts89]

Pocock has to be the man of the match surely? No one else was close.
