RWC FINAL - MATCH THREAD

by **Ozzy3213** Sun 23 Oct 2011, 6:34 pm

First topic message reminder :

It's the AB's vs. Les Bleus.

I can't belive there are only 80 minutes of this great tournament left.

Here's hoping for a great game, and the best team winning.

Let's hear you thoughts on the match here.

Great try. Rougerie was immense! Game on! I don know who I want to win now! Come on the team with the ball at any given point!

by Gatts Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:09 pm

Vive la France!

'If only. . . ' Wales hadn't been robbed by wayward kicking in the semi-final - Billy could have been coming back to Cardiff on this performance!!

by Cowshot Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:10 pm

Restart out on the full? My word! France might actually do this!

by Gibson Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:10 pm

Leivermont is a genius! Whistle

by Cari Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:10 pm

Weepu replaced, and they're starting with a scrum Headscratch

France could really win this.

by maestegmafia Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:10 pm

DAyglo is not great at this commentary game... Bring back the Phill Vickery who sounded half cut in the England France match.. he was awesome...

by Gibson Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:11 pm

French tails up now

by Cari Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:11 pm

Is it just me who think Rougerie and Andy Trimble are twins?

by thebluesmancometh Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:11 pm

I'll reiterate it, Weepu is in the player of the year list, awfull just awfull, Parra is twice the player, even at 10!

by Gatts Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:12 pm

Blacks creaking

by Gatts Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:12 pm

oh ffs ref, why bother

by maestegmafia Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:12 pm

Yachvilli too... Weepu has not been the best nine at the RWC by a long shot...

by Cari Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:12 pm

They're looking more All Grey at the moment...

by Gibson Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:12 pm

A bit in looks but not in play...

by thebluesmancometh Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:12 pm

French have their tales up! have NZ under the cosh and are pinged for delaying the lineout????

by Cari Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:13 pm

Awh I really wanted Donald to get away then....

by thebluesmancometh Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:13 pm

Another little point, if Mccaw has both hands in the air whinging about the french scrum he isn't bound!!

by Cowshot Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:14 pm

Think Harinorduquy is having one of his good games. Makes such a difference to France when he does.

by MK Blue Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:14 pm

HOLDING ON!!

That's what I meant Gibbo Smile

Perhaps Rougerie is really an Irishman...his real name is O'Rourke....

by Gatts Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:15 pm

Vive la defense

by Cari Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:15 pm

The French defence strikes again....like last week.

by ME-109 Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:15 pm

What defence.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:16 pm

Dussatoir again not given the pen!!!

by GunsGerms Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:16 pm

Poor old Graham Henry. Looks like he might have a heart attack.

by mystiroakey Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:16 pm

this final is earingly very seemily to 2007.

i could be oine decision that grants world champ

Don't joke! He looks about 90!

by maestegmafia Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:17 pm

Anyone else think that Peri Weepu reminds them of Hervé Villechaize, the actor who played Nick-Nack in the James Bond film The Man with The Golden Gun...?

by Guest Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:17 pm

okay that's the 3rd high tackle missed, what are the ref and AR's looking at?

by thebluesmancometh Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:17 pm

3 High tackles and counting!!!

by GunsGerms Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:17 pm

thebluesmancometh wrote:Dussatoir again not given the pen!!!

Completely agree. Ref is a disgrace.

by MK Blue Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:17 pm

Will the Cardiff Blues still want Henry now that he's in danger of losing another World Cup???

by Gibson Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:17 pm

France have them psyched.

by Cari Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:18 pm

Perhaps all the match officials are really tall and they don't look like high tackles to them Smile

Wouldn't it be a bummer for France to lose this by one farty little point... Whistle

by thebluesmancometh Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:18 pm

Even the replays are black biased, replaying Reads knock to the head and not Parras, no replays of the high tackles, but 3 of Mccaw getting a pen?!

by robbo277 Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:19 pm

France are winning the kicking battle here and working the ball down the pitch. I'd put money on a FTD drop-goal attempt in the next 5 minutes or so.

Personally I am kind of used to losing by one point...!

by Cowshot Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:20 pm

Sensible tactics from the French. They look a different side from the first twenty minutes!

by GunsGerms Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:20 pm

What a difference trinh duc has made.

by Cari Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:20 pm

I think Weepu looks like the singer from the Manic Street Preachers - especially without the beard.

We know that Alain Rolland is short because of him issuing the red card for Warburton droppping Clerc from "a height" lol

Not going there again though censored

by thebluesmancometh Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:21 pm

Mermoz is having a blinder, along with the French back row!

But again at the lineout the kiwis come straight through under the catcher and make him lad on his bum, as they did for their try!

Again was that a penalty against Poux? seemed to be beaten to the hit and there was a slip, I wouldve reset!

by Cari Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:22 pm

Graham Henry not impressed at all.

by maestegmafia Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:22 pm

The ref is wrong there, Poux was not dropping his bind, Franks lost footing. It was right in front of him.. should be a re-scrum not a penalty

by mystiroakey Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:22 pm

i think weepu looks like brutas

by thebluesmancometh Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:23 pm

THAT IS DISGRACEFULL!! KIWIS FLOPPING IN FROM THE SIDE THEN BEING PUSHED OVER THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RUCK!!!!!!

by GunsGerms Sun 23 Oct 2011, 8:23 pm

How come NZ are allowed come in the side at rucks but no one else can.
