RWC FINAL - MATCH THREAD

by **Ozzy3213** Sun Oct 23, 2011 8:34 am

First topic message reminder :

It's the AB's vs. Les Bleus.

I can't belive there are only 80 minutes of this great tournament left.

Here's hoping for a great game, and the best team winning.

Let's hear you thoughts on the match here.

Great try. Rougerie was immense! Game on! I don know who I want to win now! Come on the team with the ball at any given point!

by Gatts Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:09 am

Vive la France!

'If only. . . ' Wales hadn't been robbed by wayward kicking in the semi-final - Billy could have been coming back to Cardiff on this performance!!

by Cowshot Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:10 am

Restart out on the full? My word! France might actually do this!

by Gibson Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:10 am

Leivermont is a genius! Whistle

by Cari Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:10 am

Weepu replaced, and they're starting with a scrum Headscratch

France could really win this.

by maestegmafia Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:10 am

DAyglo is not great at this commentary game... Bring back the Phill Vickery who sounded half cut in the England France match.. he was awesome...

by Gibson Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:11 am

French tails up now

by Cari Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:11 am

Is it just me who think Rougerie and Andy Trimble are twins?

by thebluesmancometh Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:11 am

I'll reiterate it, Weepu is in the player of the year list, awfull just awfull, Parra is twice the player, even at 10!

by Gatts Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:12 am

Blacks creaking

by Gatts Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:12 am

oh ffs ref, why bother

by maestegmafia Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:12 am

Yachvilli too... Weepu has not been the best nine at the RWC by a long shot...

by Cari Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:12 am

They're looking more All Grey at the moment...

A bit in looks but not in play...

by thebluesmancometh Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:12 am

French have their tales up! have NZ under the cosh and are pinged for delaying the lineout????

by Cari Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:13 am

Awh I really wanted Donald to get away then....

by thebluesmancometh Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:13 am

Another little point, if Mccaw has both hands in the air whinging about the french scrum he isn't bound!!

by Cowshot Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:14 am

Think Harinorduquy is having one of his good games. Makes such a difference to France when he does.

by MK Blue Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:14 am

HOLDING ON!!

That's what I meant Gibbo Smile

Perhaps Rougerie is really an Irishman...his real name is O'Rourke....

by Gatts Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:15 am

Vive la defense

by Cari Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:15 am

The French defence strikes again....like last week.

by ME-109 Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:15 am

What defence.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:16 am

Dussatoir again not given the pen!!!

by GunsGerms Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:16 am

Poor old Graham Henry. Looks like he might have a heart attack.

by mystiroakey Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:16 am

this final is earingly very seemily to 2007.

i could be oine decision that grants world champ

Don't joke! He looks about 90!

by maestegmafia Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:17 am

Anyone else think that Peri Weepu reminds them of Hervé Villechaize, the actor who played Nick-Nack in the James Bond film The Man with The Golden Gun...?

by Guest Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:17 am

okay that's the 3rd high tackle missed, what are the ref and AR's looking at?

by thebluesmancometh Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:17 am

3 High tackles and counting!!!

by GunsGerms Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:17 am

thebluesmancometh wrote:Dussatoir again not given the pen!!!

Completely agree. Ref is a disgrace.

by MK Blue Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:17 am

Will the Cardiff Blues still want Henry now that he's in danger of losing another World Cup???

by Gibson Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:17 am

France have them psyched.

by Cari Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:18 am

Perhaps all the match officials are really tall and they don't look like high tackles to them Smile

Wouldn't it be a bummer for France to lose this by one farty little point... Whistle

by thebluesmancometh Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:18 am

Even the replays are black biased, replaying Reads knock to the head and not Parras, no replays of the high tackles, but 3 of Mccaw getting a pen?!

by robbo277 Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:19 am

France are winning the kicking battle here and working the ball down the pitch. I'd put money on a FTD drop-goal attempt in the next 5 minutes or so.

Personally I am kind of used to losing by one point...!

by Cowshot Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:20 am

Sensible tactics from the French. They look a different side from the first twenty minutes!

by GunsGerms Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:20 am

What a difference trinh duc has made.

by Cari Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:20 am

I think Weepu looks like the singer from the Manic Street Preachers - especially without the beard.

We know that Alain Rolland is short because of him issuing the red card for Warburton droppping Clerc from "a height" lol

Not going there again though censored

by thebluesmancometh Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:21 am

Mermoz is having a blinder, along with the French back row!

But again at the lineout the kiwis come straight through under the catcher and make him lad on his bum, as they did for their try!

Again was that a penalty against Poux? seemed to be beaten to the hit and there was a slip, I wouldve reset!

by Cari Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:22 am

Graham Henry not impressed at all.

by maestegmafia Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:22 am

The ref is wrong there, Poux was not dropping his bind, Franks lost footing. It was right in front of him.. should be a re-scrum not a penalty

by mystiroakey Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:22 am

i think weepu looks like brutas

by thebluesmancometh Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:23 am

THAT IS DISGRACEFULL!! KIWIS FLOPPING IN FROM THE SIDE THEN BEING PUSHED OVER THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RUCK!!!!!!

by GunsGerms Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:23 am

How come NZ are allowed come in the side at rucks but no one else can.
