I am a partner in an accounting firm in Wellington. Love rugby, was lousy player but great armchair expert. Have a giant toddler who I hope will play one day.

I only started watching the game 20 mins in and was shocked by the scoreline.
The Puma’s had the ABs number – great pick and goes, attacking the breakdown and offloads.
It was really good to see the boys rattle and have to regroup.
Nice to have a decent opposition – looking forward to Boks next.
Hansen: Pumas tough despite lopsided scoreline
Why not – can’t make things any worse….
Should Quade be handed the reins for the rest of the Rugby Championship?
Boy, lots of tantrums from Ozzie coaching box – embarrassing and was the plan to try and bully or niggle the way to a gold victory?
Highlights: All Blacks win the Bledisloe Cup, yet again
Whoever chooses the headline on this article needs to think again.
It was not the lions actions that gave the kiwi the positions , it was the kiwis
Have the Lions handed the Super Rugby title to the New Zealand teams?
Why help them!!
Let them continue in their false dawns and arrogance – more fun to beat them..
Fixing England after their Rugby World Cup disaster
Agree – that is poor.
After the amazing turnaround the new coach engendered – sorted the culture and the off field nonsense – that achievement needed to be recognized.
Bring on 2016!
ARU, where was the welcome home for the Wallabies?
Touched a nerve there , I guess…
Oz, is fine, not for me, bit hot, too many spiders….
Stripping should be a yellow card penalty
Ok, how about
“4 more years”
“not quite good enough – again..”
Actually I never thought the 7 or 8 Gold were dirty – no more than Sir Richie…
Stripping should be a yellow card penalty
Rugby is about contesting the ball.
If a slap does it, why not.
Much worse things abound
Watching the final again, cannot see how kepu stayed on the field , his transgressions certainly worse than stripping.
Stripping should be a yellow card penalty
Maybe that is why we are most afraid of the bok….
Take your point though.
Australia's quest for number one status begins
Great article
Oz never quite get there but they help improve the all blacks
With the darkness in transition in 2016, this could be oz year in sun

Big benefit over other teams is the whole team to run and pass like backs
Dane Coles on the wing!
The All Blacks, deserved World Cup winners
Good player but too much emphasis put on him and allowed nz to nullify him and create gaps elsewhere.
If not for moment of idiocy with lifting tackle , the score line will have shown the true gap across the board.
Not afraid of oz, they are the Wales of Southern Hemisphere.
Dan Carter had a great year, but Pocock had the best
All moot now.
Richie may have a bruise but pretty sure that won’t be painful for four (more) years…
Was David Pocock's boot to Richie McCaw's head accidental or deliberate?
I would be really surprised if on purpose…not from him…

Good article Spiro.
I also think the game was not as close as it seemed. Ben Smith’s brain explosion really let the Oz team back in and boy did they capitalise.
Soon as he was back on , it was back to situation normal.
In my office this morning, we joked that we felt sorry for the Gold and thought only having 14 men would be more fair.
Good fight back but I believe it could have been a lot worse, especially if that high shot merchant Kepu had got a card.
I think Oz still have a long way to go and should accept this to help their progression.
SPIRO: Can the All Blacks win the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan?
I have looked and looked at replays of the that pass and it looks fine to me.
Thought It looked forward live but took it.
More interested in why that head high grub kepu managed to stay on.
Guess both teams had a few rubs of the green…
World Rugby’s big mistake
Want to revisit this article now…

This is why the Kiwis are nervous
More on the reffing

All Blacks beat Wallabies to win World Cup
Anyone else find it ironic that Barnes was the ref that said “that” pass was not forward?
All Blacks beat Wallabies to win World Cup
To all those guys complaining about the ref – maybe you should take the same advice many ozzies told us about 2007 – suck up the bad calls and play around the ref…
I guess King Richie ate the grub and it tasted good!
Shameful targeting of Dan Carter by Yellow ….
All Blacks relentless in winning the Rugby World Cup
easy to get around – can show you if you like….
All Blacks relentless in winning the Rugby World Cup
Not mine – after 2007, we were told to suck it up and we should have played around the ref..
..which is true…
All Blacks vs Wallabies highlights: New Zealand claim 2015 Rugby World Cup final
Interesting comments – was this an Oz improvement or just a poorer opposition (question not statement).
Be interested to see how the Boks go against the ABs next – give more of a comparison.
The Wallabies can pass, catch and tackle after all
