[RWC 2023 Final] New Zealand v South Africa 28/10/23 20:00 BST

Very entertaining game, both teams were worthy, I never want to see another Saffer complain about refs and world rugby being against them again, 3 games in a row they have benefitted from pretty controversial decisions at the end of games.

Well done and congratulations South Africa, well done, Enjoy.
 
Duane my Thor's last game

This World Cup more than most feels like an end of an era in terms of players I have grown along with
 
Congrats to SA and their fans, well deserved...


But what an awful finish, to an awful game, to an awful tournament!

I've watched every world cup since I was of age enough to understand '95. I've never cared so little about an outcome of a final.
 
Yeah but Kolisi was bent at the hips as well as other factors, clear mitigation. YC is correct.
I agree, but then Curry had mitigation as the ball carrier was coming in from jumping.

I thought the directive stated the tackler had duty of care for the ball carrier.
That is why Steward was sent off v Ireland.

So if the directive is followed it should be red as Kolisi did not ensure the tackle was safe.

I don't think Curry deserved his red still don't. But the ref set out their stall by giving that and it should of continued to the final.
 
QF Sa vs Fra won by 1 point
SF SA vs Eng won by 1 point
F SA vs NZ. won by 1 point



Congrats SA
 
If Razor translates to international rugby NZ will be scary good come 4 years time, some big players moving on but the talent is still probably the best in the world.
 
Congrats Bokke… if we're had to lose, glad it was to our old rivals at least.

So proud of our boys though. Heart personified.
 
Congrats to South Africa, not a beautiful win, but with passion and a win is a win, and it's a historic one. All Blacks game can act as a role model of how to make a game with one player less on the field most of the time. Huge fight.
