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

            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.

                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.

                                Yeah , he should be proud. His goal kicking alone was huge for the Aussies.

                                        <p>I want to know something. Why prior to the WC, for about the last year or two, have we started very slowly and then exploded in the last 20? Has this been some sort of deliberate plan? Last three games we powered out from the beginning. Anyway, I should be celebrating!!</p>
