Top moments

First topic message reminder :

I remember a play from yesterday. Not sure who the Wallaby was, but Richie McCaw finds himself in what could be described as a 69 position on said anonymous player. He swivels over and whilst he´s falling to the ground, he somehow strips the ball and then falls on the ground laying it back perfectly. It was like Legolas mounting the horse in Two Towers from the ground. You know what you´ve seen is impossible but you want to believe it was possible.

Another moment was when Genia had the ball and then Richie drove him back a few metres. A crucial play stopping any mischief from a dangerous player. It was only surpassed by Conrad Smith. I remember him in the pool match against France twice driving back a player an astonishing distance. One time he was assisted by Kaino (he too has provided some memorable moments. That intervening tackle on Ioane was crucial) that makes it easier to believe but for such a normal looking guy (no ropey veins or neck muscles that belong in a Hulk movie) he can be punishing on defence.

So what have been some of those individual moments that have stood out for you this World Cup for your team?

Welcome to our World (91-07)

We did flatter do decieve in 03 as well as I recall.

And for a brief moment in 99.

91, 95 and 07 were the low points.

Mind you the Fiji game in 07 was compelling to the neutral I'm told.

My top moment, not surprisngly was Tommy Bowe's intercept and run against Australia. I know the try didn't come at the end of it, but it was classic from him and reminded me why I like him so much as a player

That was classic Tommy fair play.

Aye it was Glas....I remember him doing something similar against the Scarlets once....and scoring for the O's

Yes, bugger. That was a 14 pointer. Stevo had practically carried the Scarlets to the most unlikely win and threw a flat pass...

Played all right against Romania...

Banahan's break against France that lead to the try too, because he's quality and no-one believes me when I tell them!

Second row quality.
