RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks
-
Well I guess that was test level hard rugby but there were less highlights than cards.

Why was Sam Cane sent off but not Kolisi?
Because Inspiration such a great story Golden Boy.
I'm not bitter.

Big talking points re: officials.
Frizzel card was farcical - and he played well despite what the predictable SF detractors say.
Forearm to head from BOKs not even looked at.
Kolisi was red all day..
And they know it..PSDT MOTM deservingly.
I really feel for Sam Cane but it was correct call. He also played well all tournament.

“Essentially, good refereeing is about good dispute resolution. Yes, rules are central to the integrity of the game. When calls are marginal and the impacts disproportionate, however, the rules need to change.”

I hate that I feel so flat about rugby after watching the final. I should be drained but I'm not, that wasn't fun to watch, the rules are random and arbitrarily applied and the punishments (cards) for errors of judgement are completely over the top. WR have fucked the game and encouraged the dogshit spectacle that was.
-
Is that the easiest MoTM ever?
I guess if we win maybe Ardie

Feels worst than 95.
Proud of the team. Scooter, Retallick, Ardie and the front row were outstanding.

True, and the backline were mostly good but lacked a bit of dynamism I felt and once again BB was up and down at 15 but at least he wasn't collision-shy.
If Wayne is the best ref in the world, we need to find better refs.
Oh and the ABs need to learn how to play to them.But I'm overall not miserable, we maybe weren't the best team at the RWC and maybe neither were the Boks, but they were more consistent.

Rugby didn't deserve rain
Frustrated
No complaint with Barnes
SA deserved to win
We weren't sharp enough mentally -
Hugely proud of that effort. Forwards huge. We played so much good rugby. Just couldn't get the points. Missed kicks a killer

They were. But bloody hard in those conditions. I personally would have gone for touch and set for dg. We were winning our lineout no worries.

Because rugby union is a bullshit sport.

Frizzell is a grub, always has been. He knew what he was doing, the Bok must have reminded him of a chick.

To be honest, that was probably the biggest factor in the end.
