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.

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

<p>Turn it up. McCaw holds his leg, he frees himself, then its coincidence that McCaw rolls directly under his foot. McCaw sticks his arm up at the last minute for some reason - probably going the squirrel or some shit.</p>

<p>Moral to the story: don't put your head in the wrong fucking place.</p>

<p>EDIT: maybe that's why he didn't mention the opposition once in his speech post-game?</p> -

<p>Totally irrelevant and minor point, but did Cane get on? I don't recall seeing him?</p>

<p>Nope, pity they didn't run him out for a minute after Broden's try.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think Hansen did it deliberately to wind him up for next year.</p> -
Ha whoops how did that go upside down.
-
<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>

Whatever, it's dirty play to stomp on someone's head.<br><br>
And classy as always Nick. -

Na fark him, he's probably tweeting how silver mining is easier on the environment than gold as we speak . -

<p>Fair go - he always helps old ladies across the street, does Lancelot Bonocock*</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*I like this name - it accurately portrays what he is up to, yes. He's on the grouter this bloke.</p>
