Interviewer: "So Sonny, what does it feel like to single handedly lose the World Cup for the All Blacks?
Sonny Bill: "Meh. I've signed with the Rabbitohs next year."

Hey cmon, it was Sonnys first real bad but I have to admit it was quite embarassing after his fancy handshake lol.

 

[Black Heart]

Congrats on your second RWC NZ... most deserving nation by far. Australia should stick to that trash rugby league and stop further embarrassing our nation with gutless performances like that.

I think the All Blacks were simply the better side. The Wallabie had periods in that game where they got very close but obviously New Zealand wanted it more.

I'd be ditching Quade Cooper in a heartbeat come 2012. The guy is a joke.

 

[Jake Heke]

Quades got a lethal step, just needs to work on building confidence.

 

[cardassian]

We did it!

It just ****** me off because EVERY player out there held their heads in and played their best rugby for the full 75 minutes until he came out.

And what's the first thing he does? It seems like a real spit in the face to his other team mates. He didn't need to do it. The scoreline was irrelevant.

Well done All Blacks, finish the job next week!

Yeah and a defensive game might help.

 

[shtove]

Pity the ABs tightened their game after half an hour and stopped using Nonu - they looked awesome up to then, but the rest was just ruthless.

61m: Pocock gets brilliant turnover, McCaw times his run to smash Genia man and ball, drives him back 10m, double turnover.

71m: Australia scrum crunched - panzer v landrover.

The ABs let loose against France for 20 mins and played it fairly tight after that. France have to get to half time level, but I can't see it happening.

 

[SelimNiai]

As a game it wasn't as good as yesterdays. NZ came out the blocks at 1000mph and set the tone in that first 10 minutes. Apart from when Digby (Aussies best player btw) made that run they just didn't look like scoring. Cooper couldn't thrive as he wanted as the game had too much structure and he kept getting the ball to deep and on the back foot to do anything with it. Dagg was brilliant at 15, Mils who?


Don't get too cocky Kiwi fans, it's not over till the fat lass sings. You never know what the French can do (99, 07).

 

[kwaggasaki]

Well done All Blacks, next to go FRANCE!!!!! You guys surely deserve to win. Ive just watched the 1995 world cup again and that was by far the best ever Final ive ever seen and you guys faught very hard. Now 16 yrs later you guys gonna hold that trophy high. Really excited for your nation and the people who dreamt about this day.

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!

RWC's get won on a great forward pack and NZ have proven that once again, well played.

If France don't improve it could be 30+ easily and that would be horrible.

I'm not cocky at all. The French are unpredictable.

You might as well roll dice on the final. If France shows up and performs they're perfectly capable of beating us. If they don't, the final might end up 40-0.

You never know what to expect from the French, and that makes me nervous. Still, ecstatic about this result. I'll just revel in this win for now, I can worry about the final later.

Exactly. Where's Suzie when you need her?

Haha!
Just saw a great tweet,

"Did anyone notice there were a lot of cocks in that game? Pocock, Woodcock, Quade Cooper..."

4 more years Aussie, 4 more years. On the French, man they get way too much credit. Unpredictable at times yes, do they always get up for the bigs ones. hell no. This AB team is too classy, experienced and well coached compared to the shambles that is French rugby. The history between the two will make sure the ABs will be out to annihilate them off the park they'll be salivating at the fact they get to really dispose of the chokers tag.

Confidence is not his problem.

He's a joke alright. I can't believe Robbie still has faith in him. The man is an enigma. Berrick Barnes I think would've been better at fly half. Sometimes, you just need a steady hand steering the ship.

I'm bloody stoked though the All Blacks won. We played bloody well.

Bring on the French!
