RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina
-
No, have you? However I do have eyes. The guy is constantly operating on the edge, if you can't see that, I can't help you. I like Coles but he is ten years outside his best and operating in the last decade when it comes to understanding the current set of referees.

Hmm, I dunno man - I feel like he’s found the balance lately. Good mix of playing with an edge but not doing the real dickhead stuff.
But I’m still torn between him and Sami given we have just the one game left

I really like the consistency and calmness of the front row when Lomax plays. And De Groot. While they keep winning I leave it to the coaches as to hooker. So lucky we have 3 v good v different styles of hooker.
Big shout out to the 4 young props. They have handled the last couple of weeks with aplomb. All 4 have played their part. Our scrum has been a different animal, hungry, mean, and balanced too. EDG and Lomax keep building their stocks and will only get better.
Williams is a fucking beast. His first scrum he just ate that tighthead

Well done NZ
Did what we couldn’t do - gift Argentina point scoring opportunities
Stadium is wonderful
Getting in and out was a joke
Cardiff really is the greatest rugby stadium in the world
We’re spoiledNZ were very good against a poor Argentina team
Atmosphere was very flat
Hopefully tonight will be better in terms of competition and atmosphere
Jordan’s final try was a joy to behold

I prefer stade de France to Cardiff I have to say. But it IS a bit of a chore to get in and out.

Yep let’s not miss a chance to have a lame dig at Australia.
You’d hope as a country we’d grown out of this embarrassing, completely unfunny shit.

This kind of "bants" also only works if you're winding up someone who's actually strong - this is like picking on the retarded kid at school and make us look like bullies.

"This wasn't how it was supposed to beeee" they wailed
"It was our time!" They cried
"Deseeeeerved" they sobbed
Delicious salty tears making the inevitable NZ v SA final even sweeter. Salted caramel if you will.

Lots oh wailing about the RWC "not being fit for purpose" because the beat team over the past 2 years got knocked out in the QF - "the Nations League can't come soon enough" they say. Cry me a river, you fucks - no one gave a shit in 2007 or 2011 when it was big SH teams getting bundled out at the QF stage.

There is nothing more tedious than a massive online ref whinge from supposed "neutrals"
Oh no, if only Angus had found ways to scrub off 4 AB tries, then they would only have won by
Checks notes
3 triesI thought Gardner was good today. Super clear in his communication. Didn't blow little shit, but obvious shit. The dominant team got the rub, same as always.
Irish fans thinking thats a stitch up are completely devoid of self-reflection.
I don't expect perfection, I expect a guy to manage thr game and let the players sort it out
(If I had a whinge I thinknthe worst call of the game was binning a guy for an infraction 80+ metres from.his try line with no warning)
Everyone goes against the ABs when they start winning. Especially from the British Isles, that’s nothing new.
Which makes Burgers comments all the more disappointing. That’s not the bloke that used to smash and be smashed by JC back in the day then have a beer afterwards !
Because he sees the same thing that everyone else sees, apart from those wearing black tinted glasses. Another fuck up of a ref shafting the weaker team on the micro decisions over the entire game. Of course it makes no difference to the outcome of the game. AB's were always going to hammer a poor Argentina side. But it does end any competitiveness and the potential for a decent game to watch.
Brilliantly one eyed bitterness.
Argies flopped all over the breakdowns.

Argies' game plan was clearly to disrupt the ABs' ball by infringing as much as possible and expect that the ref would swallow his whistle in a RWC semi final. Credit to Angus he did not and the Argies failed to adjust instead adopting their coach's victim mentality. Of course the ref made some shit calls - they do in every match. But let's not pretend the Argies were shafted of reffed differently in this match.

Just strolled through the NH media on X.
To be fair most were high in praise of NZ and critical of Gardner not the over arching point. Only true exception of this …. Walrus.
He’s playing so many of you like a fiddle.
If you want NH media AB fanboy level read Paul Williams. If you want superb analysis read Murray Kinsella.
Walrus has no place anymore, except in his own ego, and relies on winding ppl up to remain relevant.

Hopefully Tana and Kev weren't on the same train also, that would have been terrifying.

That is a disappointingly pithy write up from Kinsella and nice to see Barnes calling it out.
There really is some quality whinging going on.
