I'm torn between doing laps in the sea of salty tears and acknowledging they're not wrong about Gardner's competency.

@antipodean The officials were appalling tonight, but Iām far from convinced that their incompetence favoured one particular side or had much influence on that result.

Oh no! The secret is out. The real reason the All Blacks have made five World Cup Finals is that weāre really, really good at cheating.
Weād have got away with it if it wasnāt for you pesky kids!

That's why we can't have nice things.

What the fuck Walrus. This is pathetic even for you.
@MN5 itās a common theme from a Lot of neutrals on twitter some journalists and ex players who should know better
Schalk Burgers tweet surprised me
Funnily enough most of it out of Ireland and Africa -
Predictable outcome. Good margin which reflects some individual brilliance (A Smith, Jordan) built off the back of the basics: set piece dominance and accuracy at the breakdown.
The question must be asked: Did Mo'unga look up to see an unmarked Jordan and say "fuck you bro - you've already got 3 tries!" because otherwise that was a try brutally murdered.

Great stuff.
Is that Jordie Barrett strapped to his leg?

set piece dominance
I will make a point about this with regard more to the officiating. I thought the ABs had the upper hand at scrum time, but also got some favourable decisions.
51:17 - EdG elbow pointing down, he overextends and hits the deck. ABs get the penalty for Argentina collapsing?
No help from the touchie there I will say as it was obvious live, but Gardner was on the other side.We've got to take important things into consideration here:
@Kiwiwomble said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
its scumming 101 to keep your elbow up to keep your shoulders square....elbow down = shoulder down = collapse
I know, right? :grinning_face:
There was another scrum one of the props overextended and put a knee on the deck but I think it was play on, thankfully.
What do these things mean? Nothing for this result. Against South Africa though they'll need to tighten up.
Massive for Gardner as I think it will finish any chance he had at the final. Not accurate enough.
I'd also comment that Dalton was off the side of the scrum early, nearly every time he packed down.

@MN5 Ref blaming ,will find the post and pop it up ,was a bit surprising coming from Schalk
-
Ref missed about half a dozen off the ball tackles by the Argies and did nothing about it, so we adapted and did it too. Was ridiculous how many times we had players taken out early on. Ref performance wasn't biased, he seemed more interested in keeping the game going. How about Jordan being taken out, if we'd done that, we'd have a 100% yellow. What does it take for us to get a favourable call in those circumstance, a beheading?
-
I literally know not one person, from any country, who doesnāt think walrus is anything but a miserable old bore.
Put him to pasture, heās a bygone relic.
I thought Gardner was quite poor honestly, and didnāt really ref the game. But both sides took advantage of it.
7 tries to zip. Nothing else relevant.
@MajorRage so who is your top 5 refs ..?
Because it just seems after every game thereās an issue with the on the day official -

Funnily enough most of it out of Ireland and Africa@Steven-Harris heās worried
. The Bok/AB rivalry is strong -
Solid win.
Great to watch a game where the opposition don't run players in front of the ball.
Hungus Mo'unga better not do that in the final.
A Barrett getting a card, hopefully they've collectively got that out of their system now.
Had the 3 Aussie commentators, one of them is such a whiny bitch, so much so that the other two have to correct him multiple times when he says stupid things about the ABs.
