RWC FINAL - New Zealand vs France

[naza]

All Blacks showed us their full repertoire tonight. Off their feet, in from the side, constantly offside, taking the man out without the ball, obstructing pillars in attack, the Franks technique (cleaning out support players 2+ metres behind the back of the opposing ruck), the cheap shot off the ball, all topped off by the classic McCaw 'Don't you know who I am ?' look . A complete performance.

The one game France actually deserved to win they didn't

I'm still filthy,

Best side of the tournament won, best side on the night didnt. Great game both teams.

So it took New Zealand to play at home with a home referee to win it. Tainted win.

Joubert is South African.

What a win. Fucking Hell the French are awesome at World cups.

 

[jollyswagman]

Gutless performance by Joubert.

 

[cyclopath]

Congrats NZ for the win.
Congrats France for the effort to do everything but win that one. Unbelievable effort.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

Joubert is South African.

What a win. Fucking Hell the French are awesome at World cups.

theyre good but the kiwis are shit at world cups

 

[max11247]

how can you give an interview after a game like this?

 

[minorbird]

Joubert is South African.

Not for long, not even sure that South Africans would let him back in the country after that performance.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Goodnes gracious they made hard work of that.

Congratulations to the Darkness.

Congratulations to all the Frogs for showing up and putting it to the NZRT.

To all the Les Bleus doubters (myself included) - Humble pie, although like me you all thought be either a complete massacre, or a ducks arse of a game.

 

[cyclopath]

Come on, some pretty ungracious comments here - NZ played well to beat a bloody good and determined French team. Credit to both sides.

 

[jollyswagman]

Congrats NZ - I would just like to say one thing...."ABOUT FUCKING TIME!" Now that's it for you pricks for another 24 years. On the bright side for us AUS fans, at least we get to kick the World Champs ass every year for the next four years!

 

[champo]

Congrats to NZ, but for me the win is tainted by a disgusting performance by Joubert.

 

[Lee Enfield]

Well done France, playing 16 men was just too much in the end, nothing to be embarrassed about, you were the better team and were denied by the Ref.

 

[teach]

theyre good but the kiwis are shit....

Yep. We will probaby fail for the next 4 or 5 now.

 

[François]

Well I just lost all my respect for Joubert. Shameful. Really Shameful. Gutless referring. He let the AB get away with murder all day, especially at the end.

I'm sorry but Kaino was grabbing the ball with with hands while the ruck was formed, and he gave us a scrum, not a penalty ? that's absolutely rediculous.

 

[Canon76]

France were the far better team, the amount of 50: 50 calls against them was unbelievable. I can not believe tha amount of shit that Joubert allowed at the rucks compared the last game. I would like to see similar situations to the last two games bu Joubert and see how he rules them. France were the winners of the world cup NZ were average at best weepoo is back to his normal standard and the scrum was caned this is an average decision at best all of the NZ supporters should mark this day in history as it was a day that they will hold a trophy that they do not deserve .

 

[Hugh Jarse]

SBW missed a tackle.........not a rugby player!

Not the first one he has missed in RWC either. Agree. Mungoball teaches how to wrestle 3 vs 1.

 

[QuadeCooperFan]

Bloody fantastic effort France. You were the only team in the whole tournament to give the All Blacks a run for their money. You should be proud of that effort.

 

[minorbird]

If Joubert had been his usual self and not morphed into Bryce Lawrence then France would have won that.
