Moore paid due credit to the ABs. So did Cheika, though you could see he was gutted. Both agreed that there were no excuses, even with the injuries.<br><br>
Liked Hansen's speech, where he also gave the Wallabies credit. The joy on DC's face was cool and deserved. <br><br>
A Bridge Too Far comes to mind. You can't claw back a 21-3 lead even with a man advantage. -
I hope someone can put together a video with McCaw comparing that press conference in 2007 with 2011 and 2015. That there is farking redemption and then some.

True. This time around the two best teams in the world were in the final and it was a hell of a game . -

<p>Fox picks up his second winners medal along with half the playing group and most of the coaching group.</p>

<p>Yes definitely, I'd like to have seen him run the water on in a 3 piece suit. </p> -

There was an article by a statistician about how rare it is to come back and win from various deficits, and 10+ is apparently very rare - the games often get close, but then draw away again late, as this game did.<br><br>
Champion effort from the Wallabies either way - they kept pushing all the way. -

<p>Dirty fluffybunny that number eight. No doubt his apologists will point out he was saving an endangered species at the time..</p> -

Was that Bonocock doing the stamping? If so I'm glad the arsehole goes home with a runners up medal tonight. -

Was pretty disappointed with how the Wallabies approached the game. Brought the filth -
<p>Richie leading the Ka Mate post match...it just gets better and better. Kearns and co talking about how the haka is an important part of the AB culture and it should be retained despite some critics calling for it to be stopped.</p>

Just watching interview with Foley. Didn't rate him at all, but he's been bloody good this tournament.
