I would be happy with Gardiner getting the final. In fact he would be my best choice.

I know there has been some whinging from the neutrals but I thought he was excellent today.

I don't see him getting the final, he's behind Barnes and Raynal in WRs eyes I think

@canefan

I don’t want to see Barnes anywhere near the final as that would suggest England will be there.

In terms of ability only though, I wouldn’t have an issue with any of Barnes, Reynal, BOK or Gardner. They have all proved their worth and they all have their quirks and dodgy moments.

Oh Jonny, I'll give you a pass because you're probably exhausted, and definitely gutted. But that's not the word champ

Confirmed my view he's an entitled fluffybunny. Bet the likes of Rory Best are cringing at seeing that.

They showed him on screen during the game but Nisbo/Mils/Wilson obviously had no idea who he was.

[Bones]

Unbound players at the ruck shouldn't be allowed to ruck the ball unless they have one foot behind the last foot. Surely they're offside otherwise?

If they can't reach it, too fucking bad - bound players will have to ruck it back.

Nisbo I can understand given he’s of the generation who’d get excited about a Coronation Street star…..but Jeff and Mils should be ashamed. The guy is a superstar.

That was a cool little interview, what a great fella.

It’s been a helluva tournament.

Well fuck you lot, I put £20 on NZ after the France game because you were all so bloody miserable. Now I don’t even know if I can bring myself to watch the final between Hitler and Stalin

Pretty sure I owe Kirwan and Duluth tickets to the final and a hotel room from 2007…

And I'd consider 9th a win at this point

Interesting couple of months coming up in the wide brown land
