Thanks Digger. Like samlavich I thought the Wallaby restarts were pretty good, and their ruck work was also strong. otherwise I had a relaxed and enjoyable night. My Wallaby scarf wearing wife remarked that it was boring half way through the second half which I thought was odd 🙂 On a more serious note I thought some of the quick passing, offloads, flick backs by the ABs was a bit helter skelter and I wonder if that might have come undone against a more organised, harder defence?

Stay away Ben…. 🙂
Have the Lions handed the Super Rugby title to the New Zealand teams?
Nice one – but a future Sir Eddie Cumberbatch would also need a quaint english address too. Maybe Sir Eddie Cumberbatch of Bollocks on Pond? Or Twiddle-it-by-the-mere?
Armand – nice article and analysis but really? Logic and facts? SUrely we’ve got by quite nicely on jingoism and bull for the past 100 years or so?

All good points Armand but for me its hard to go past the what I think is the acid test – who won the last match?

Scotland (and Wales and England) always compete in the Olympics as Great Britain. Odd but true.

Agree Red. He’s no chance on this timetable, its not really appropriate from a moral perspective, and any PR is good isnt it?
Why Hayne probably shouldn’t make the Fiji sevens side
How costly are all those missed goals and Woodwards finger tips against the Chiefs going to ultimately prove I wonder?

Indeed – just ask Dan Carter and Steve Hansen how good they are 🙂
If your Super Rugby side could fix one thing
That would be the Hurricanes match Brett 😉
I’m not sure the Chiefs will drop another game in 2016
Objective below reports some players signing autographs in the tunnel – good on them – but I agree with all posters, this is no way for professionals to behave to their customers. Suck it up and give back to the paying public. Thats where the wages come from ffs!

Thanks guys – really enjoyed your thoughts and insights over the past few weeks.
Favourite moment – aahh – where to start? So many! But on reflection it would have to be the look on Gorgodze’s face when he heard he had won MoM against the All Blacks. Summed up the spirit for me 🙂

Apoplectic. Enraged. Appalled. Im sure there are some good Afrikaaner words to express his feeling as well 😉

Just the hard hit out they needed I think to get into finals mode. I think I snapped at my daughter too Moa……but she understands 🙂
Rugby World Cup: The dream final we weren’t entirely confident of getting
The score board re-sets to 0-0. Correct. Im a bit over all of the endless posturing about how many times who has beaten who at which ground or which RWC. Its meaningless. Two teams, one ground, 80 minutes. Game on!
I am unashamably biased but here it is – this is the mact up ive been hoping for – come on the All Blacks 🙂
World Cup wrap: All Blacks and Wallabies the right final
And McMahon – if they find they need more effort over the ball at the breakdown he’s the man to do the job in Pocock’s absence
Cheika well aware of Pumas threat
From what I saw in their latest match in the QF they are indeed very dangerous out wide with their outside backs, in particular Imhoff. They seemed to set a platform with the forwards and look to move the ball out to their dangerous outside backs, with regular hit ups by the inside backs, look to secure the ball and recycle, and again spin wide. This was successful against Ireland. From memory against the ABs in their opening match they were also dangerous in broken play, but I didnt see much of that in the QF. I didnt see much of a threat from their inside backs in the QF, but good security and recycling. If the WBs are to prevail I think they need to achieve parity in the forwards, dominance at the ruck and security out wide, then rely on their relatively more creative inside backs to break the line and create the scoring opportunitie. Now we come to the injury concerns for Australia – if all three of Sio, Pocock and Folau are unable to play then I think there is a problem. Beale covered full back admirably in the QF so that should be OK, but the loss of Sio at scrum time, and Pocock over the ball will be significant.
