If France get a fine for crossing that line, then it's an absolute joke. The IRB should pay them in the royalties that piece of footage will receive.

The HAKA is a ploy by the ABs to get them aroused - opposing teams should do what they want to achieve the same outcome - otherwise ban the Haka

Yep, that was what stood out blatantly to me and what I cited in my 'The game is rigged' thread which was quickly deleted by the moderators with no explanation. Is G&GR rigged as well ? Deadset, this conspiracy goes all the way to the top !!
But honestly, explain it. The area where France had a clear advantage and Joubert completely takes it away ? You can't. The game is rigged.

The Darkness have never looked so beatable in Victory. The monkey may be off their back, but his banana scented drool will taint their collars yet. WTF is with the French at WC's? I had a Citroen once and it was like this. Stylish, beautiful from the right angles, quirky, high maintenance, but on song, on its day, you'd not want to drive anything else. Until you got a repair bill. I love/hate the French. I'd feel better about the Darkness winning if their supporters and media hadn't been such churlish pricks to us for the whole tournament. They deserve a win, but this feels hollow and deserved and inevitable all at the same time. Somehow I can't feel any resentment though. Respect for les Bleus and the All Blacks. They put on a show that's for sure.

Looking at the forward packs this RWC we need to send our up & coming piggys to France to develop rather than stay here.

Nice editing Blob..the "Fuck you to eveyone else".. has disappeared but not before my old Emu's mate Inside Shoulder snaffled it. Let us know when you expect to win a RWC away from home!

What a great game. I thought france had the better of it but nz stuck in their. Joubert let all sorts of illegal shit go but you can't really blame him for the loss. So close france - good on you for not buying into this whole respect thing and going out their and smashing the kiwi's. Congrats ted henry and nz, deserving victors after the effort you have put in over many years.

Should we be surprised that the players did not shake hands or in any way recognize each other after the final whistle? And none of the interviews I heard, mentioned the opposition. And, second observation: What will the Kiwis have to say about McCaw accidently kneeing Parra in the head. Maybe he thought it was Cooper?

MoneyBillBillions missed a tackle to let Los Pumas in as well. He is pretty good at ITM cup, OK at Super level and against Minnow nations, and barely adequate at Tier 1 international level. He still has a fair amount of his apprenticeship to go.
Like many mungo converts, promises lots but failed to deliver.
The $BW question is will he hang around with the Darkness? He has hardly increased his market value.

No they should not pay the fine, tell the IRB togo fuck themselves and get behind FIRA to breal away and run the game, much better organisation
He didn't edit it.

But if you can get a winners medal after 20 minutes (?) game time.

Congratulations to France for showing their worth, and pushing New Zealand to the limit.
To the All Blacks, well done, well deserved. I challenge anyone to offer a team who is more deserving, and who has played consistently as well as the All Blacks have, during this competition.
For those few haters; I understand the animosity but it is undeserved. The game was fairly played and fairly refereed. The game was nothing but a reflection on the contest that still exists in rugby, and I for one am happy for it.

Mate, I can't believe that forum topic was deleted. Numerous people come on here and abuse others, say all manner of things yet censorship seems to be a matter of when it suits. There was nothing at all wrong with your post. It was an opinion expressed, it wasn't 'subjective' and was bound to get people contributing/talking. I'm disappointed with the site for talking this stance. I shall now make it my life mission to report everything and anything that steps outside the 10 commandments.

I find the Haka exciting but when the French responded the way that they did it gave me goosebumps, gave me a real "its gonna be on" feeling. The IRB should get stuffed with their piss ant fines. The haka in combination with an advancing team getting up close and personal is exciting & we need stuff like that in our game.
