4.4. "Level of control" It's all subjective. It's rugby. One of the easiest sports to get "robbed" in because of all the grey areas.

Cane was unlucky. Also, he shouldn't really be in the team.

Tackler arm wrap and tackled player lowering is sometimes called as mitigation.

Bok fans about to disrespect the haka definitely deserve to see their team get smashed.

England almost, nearly, bull$hitted Joe Marler'd their way into a World Cup final they were never supposed to get close to after the circus that was their World Cup preparation. They were literally minutes away with a two-score lead and absolute control of territory, possession and momentum when...

Images aren't loading here for some reason but I'll finish this crap off in the name of completeness. Argentina were very disappointing in this tournament until the Japan game in which they played with the passion and purpose we know they're capable of. Their SF against the All Blacks though...

Razor era loading. How long ago was it unheard of to have props and hookers with ball skills? Watch him do a 4-4 or 3-5 with proper hybrids. Remember Ardie in his early twenties? He is. The fact that he also covers loose forward at his height is incredible and shows how valuable utility players...

Both teams want to be underdogs now. It's like fake 3D chess, 8-0 loading.

It's a double edged sword. Celebrity worship is part of what gave rise to "social" media in the first place when it went from just goofing off online with your friends to over sharing and then twerking for "clout." And that happened very quickly, almost like governments and corporations wanted...

Whoever wins the World Cup is going to have throngs of annoying fans endlessly bragging. That kind of goes with the territory but it's no less annoying. NZ - "We still da best haha. Fozzie iz good after all." SA - "We play boring rugby but it's the best kind of rugby. In your face." ENG -...

If the NZ v Ireland QF was a clash of the T!tans, this one was made in Hyperborea. It was decided by the most minuscule of margins. A try saving back tap, a monster penalty goal attempt falling short by a foot, a contentious conversion charge down and more. Ultimately though it came down to the...

MS Paint ftw.

For a union with as little resources as Fiji has, the expectation surrounding them for this World Cup was unfair. Had they made less mistakes against Wales we might be singing a different hymn but their song had to end somewhere. A Quarter-Final exit is no disgrace.

It's extremely tight, but Kolbe moves just before Ramos starts his kick.

This was a t!tanic struggle. Easily the best game of the tournament so far in terms of overall quality and drama and one of the best world cup games ever. Ireland showed great character and courage but in reality, based on form and previously demonstrated ability, they choked, looking nervous...

Different circumstances as well. O'Mahony's sledge was in the heat of the moment, not after the game when you shake hands. AB culture is built on respect and discipline, which is admirable, but that doesn't stop some of them from bottling it all up inside before doing stupid things like...

Wales had it in their hands and blew it. For the longest time Argentina looked like they weren't going to score a try but finally did after the "controversial" call. Biggar shouting: "it was head contact" wasn't wrong. That's been the precedent for at least a penalty but some of us have been...

If you can't take a sledging, get out of the... snow? I do actually feel a bit for them and every team that loses but at the same time it's a game and no one died. AB fans get sledged all the time. Four more years boys.

Big calls from Rassie. 2019 final vibes. Who's kicking goals? Kolbe? Libbok? If the plan is to kick less and run with it more, bring it on. That should suit France.

Expecting logical decisions from Ian Foster is a big ask. Leicester is pretty good though and even if he wasn't, it's not going to make a difference to the result.
