I don’t think so.
I think they did.
I thought they both disappointed then to be fair. Two great sides, bit an awful game. 2 teams that have played some cracking rugby showed no quality whatsoever in that game.
nope
Think it was a huge missed opportunity for Ireland and France - both teams‘ best chance so far to win a World Cup.
That Wayne Barnes has got an odd 🚶
Not many finals in any sport are classics.
The best games were two of the QF's.
SA outmuscled everyone and were a goal kicker away from beating Ireland in the groups.
Ireland bottled it
Wales are miles away from getting to an winning a final
Dull game. Game stifled by defence
Even the Ginger players on the losing side are being given medals
And quite right too
Of course they are and everything points to they should never be close.
Be glad they punch above their weight.
Oh no you can't because your PE teacher made you do rugby.
I told him to feck off sunshine
Thing is rugby is a game for people of all shapes and sizes.
Should be perfect for you.
But you do need a bit of intelligence
So that's you absolutely fecked
so SA win by kicking 4 penalties and scoring nothing in the 2nd half. hardly a classic and unlikely to inspire the younger generation to get their teeth knocked out and nose broken. went on way too long and glad it's over. Welsh rugby still in a mess despite a spirited performance.
Why is the tmo in rugby far better than the chuckle brothers up in the stand in football ?
Not at all. I was a silky 10 at rugby and a classy 10 at football.
SF no.3 in rugby and I suspect numbers 12+ in football.
I was too busy chasing after women to waste time rolling around in mud with public school boys
don't think st ilttyds high school has/had many public school boys in amongst there ranks
ask dai bishop !
I think the better team, the one that scored a try (two) were the better team.
But if it was not the final i wouldn't have watched it, IMO rugby will always be a niche sport overly hyped in contrast to its popularity in actual attendance because many TV executives played it at their public school and feel honour bound to.
The most important people are the stewards in the TV room it is almost horse racing in terms of deciding who wins.
My rugby-biased, non (city) attending mates used to text me "How can you watch this sh1t" when City was on Sky over the previous two seasons, I did the same to those last night in the red card stewards room lottery.
clubs are going bust, fewer players are playing the game because its boring and too complicated
Don't care
I wanted anyone other than those two to win it.
I guess South Africa deserves it but it doesn't feel like it really. Won the quarters, semi and final by a single point and played most of the final against 14 men.
Ireland and France will be absolutely kicking themselves
Not for me either. In fairness to New Zealand, and including their quarter v Ireland, they were the team trying to play all the rugby. South Africa are so negative, but the modern day rules of rugby simply allow that style to win through. Foster, the nz coach, said after game that rugby has some issues to address. He was referring to tackles and cards but you can take it much wider. I love my rugby but he is bloody right.
South Africa won the quarters, semi and final by one point. That’s crazy.
the only good thing about the final was watching wilkinson not wanting to be there on the panel, surely he could have been off loaded and not recycled
