France vs New Zealand

[nam97]

You can win all the boring friendly matches.

Your mums boring. Friendly matches? Ahhhh, f*** it, your right and I'm gutted. My god, this is the worst state I have ever been in. My nerves are shot.
We choked on a massive cock once more, France played outta their skin. Once again congrats, I'd rather you win this thing than the Boks.

This thread is disgraceful. All of the whinging kiwi's need to grow up and accept that bad calls can go both ways and that better teams don't always win. I feel sorry for the rest of the kiwi's that get a bad name because of these whingers.

NZ dominated the game, but France had the defense. This proves that there are still good teams in the NH.

McAllister's bin was a correct decision. He deliberately meant to take out Jauzion. Normally NZ get away with decisions like that, but fair play to Barnes, he got him.

NZ had numerous occasions to go for a drop goal, but they thought that they could get a try.

 

[England hammer the Aussies again]

Wow. How easily the best referee in the WC falls from grace.

Good to know forward passes are now legal in rugby.
[/b]

You lot get more dodgy decisions than most...swings and rounabouts mate :cheers:the better side won.. see you in 4 years time. :cryy:

The best AllBlacks World Cup Squad has had the worst World Cup.

England, France, Fiji, Scotland please!!!!!!

 

[C A Iversen]

All I can say is, well done France.

Yes, there was a forward pass, yes there was bad refereeing, but the All Blacks were also poor.

We had forwards hanging out in our backs all day and our backs in our forwards. How can you execute an effective backline like that?

Of course the french were offside a lot, but lets be honest. If we could've done it, then we would've too.

So, in closing, go France. Well done and I hope you play the Argies in the Final and we finish the tourney as we began!!!!!

 

[Sir Speedy]

YEH FRANCE!!!!!! BRILLIANT MATCH!!

 

[shazbooger]

McAlister sin binning was a farce, off balance and that lanky prick Jauzion milked it. [/b]

You see the problem with this is, he actually targetted Jauzion. In the replay, you can see he looked up, saw him coming, and took him out. I thought the ref got it right to be honest, at least on that occasion.

You need to ask why McAllister did it, it would never have been a try. It wasnt a necessary foul.

 

[HarryPeters]

I feel sick.

OK Im shuting my mouth....are you listening something?no?ok....
see you in 4 years....CHICKEN....
HAKA? haahhaha

 

[el_tk]

it doesnt make it right. so it basically means that a ref can go into a match biast to a team and accidently not see a couple of forwards passes.
hell who knows maybe he had a bet on or something.
yeah sure the all blacks did play like crap and the french played well but you cant win from a forward pass. thats injustice. [/b]

So your thought process is: 1) NZ lose

2) The Ref made several mistakes, one of which led to a French try

3) Therefore he is biased

4) He must have placed a substantial wager on France.



To call into question the professional integrity of a referee is a serious accusation which you really have no grounds for.

 

[Cheeky_Darkie]

Anyone care to join me for a trip to the WC to shove a stick up Mr Barnes arse ??

Anyway full credit to the french for taking their chances. The ABs did not choke, just a run of extreme bad luck with the injuries and bad calls. Hopefully Ted isn't exiled like past coaches, wasn't his fault.

 

[bartbridge]

Fair play to France, their defence was immense although after 25 minutes I thought they would lose. And they only made 5 errors in the match, only 2 of which were handling whereas NZ made 10 handling errors.



McAllister's card, definitely justified, he moved from his original position and ran into Jauzion and refs always miss forward passes, especially in quick moves such as that.

McAllister played very well, probably NZ's stand-out back until he failed to drop into the pocket on the France 22. Why didn't McCaw or any of the other senior players tell him to do it? That's the kind of crap you'd catch the current Ireland team doing (if they ever got that close to a good team).
[/b]

How can you say the yellow card is justified?! If you knew about rugby you would know that he never strayed from his defensive running line, you might as well call a penalty every time someone runs into someone after kicking. On top of that there was no way he was going to get the ball.

But in trying not to sound like i have completely sour grapes the French were great on D and while i dont think they deserved to win they did enough on the day.

 

[el_tk]

so ur saying that if a player runs into another player..efectively milking the penalty its stil an obstruction...thats bulsh** [/b]

Yeah, someone runs into another player it's obstruction regardless of what the obstructed player chooses to do with himself and he kind of has to make contact with the obstructor at some stage for it to be obstruction

 

[nik]

Congats France, you deserved to win. The ABs had plenty of chances to win the game.

I'm not going to bit*ch about the ref. The ABs have won matches with worse refereeing in the past.

France strangled us, and we choked!!!

 

[alexviv]

Referee was France!!

 

[mj44]

The ABs did not choke, just a run of extreme bad luck with the injuries and bad calls.

You call that extreme bad luck? It's pretty normal in a rugby match. Fact is NZ lost, and all it takes for any team to lose when playing another top nation is to have an off day.

He clearly strayed from his defensive line, he looked up and saw Jauzion and deliberately ran across him to block his run. That is obstruction. For what it's worth regarding my supposed rugby knowledge I am qualified to ref schoolboy matches but anyone could see what McAllister was at.

******** mate. It was McAlister's job to mark Jauzion all night, he was his opposite number. He came rushing up and once the kick went in he turned and the two collided (nothing sinister) and Jauzion went down like the ***** he is :ranting:

Oh well, four more years boys. See you in NZ :cheers:

 

[GOBLACK]

ive seen heaps of times people deliberatly running into another player and it hasnt been called. its only if you come of your line and obstruct...then its obstruction. he turned, he didnt come off his line. he didnt have to move out of the way because he was still running the same line.
also how many offsides where there that werent called up.
i know i seem like whinging but french played really well in defence but the ABs also attacked well just didnt convert into points. it doesnt help when u have lots of calls going against you.
