RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks

[mooshld]

Hard to take that but we rolled the TMO dice one too many times. So proud of that effort. We had our chances. Barnes honestly I expected better on the big stage.

@Mattasaurus Oh boo, boo, boo.

When the game came down against SA, he did nothing.

[MajorPom]

At the end the calls evened up so I shall not ref whinge. Had our chances didn’t take.

SA beat all teams to win, prob best WC win ever.

Congrats SA.

Onwards with life.

[Tim]

@mariner4life Literally one penalty kick from a win.

[Victor Meldrew]

Mentally not quite there, bit fragile at time and think the occasion got to some of them. Disappointed as a win would have been magical for this team, but who would have guessed this lot would have been in a RWC Final and lose by 1 point down to 14 men for 50 minutes of the game?

Disappointed, but not gutted. At the end of the day they left the jersey in a way better place than it was at the end of the RWC 2019 Final.

Aaron Smith should have played the full 80. Cam will be the 9 next year if he continues on his arc

Have a look in the mirror..
Cos I am not the one crying or blaming one player.

A shout out to Christie. I thought he played well and liked the pressure he was putting on at those defensive scrums. Cleared the ball cleanly.

That one ruck it spurted out was not his fault. He was right there and the Boks were rightly penalised for flicking it out of the ruck with their hand.

One of the 9s.

That's it, for all the disappointed wailing and gnashing of teeth, it was right there, and in all honesty we should have won.

Colesy and Roigard should have played.

That last scrum on the first hit the SA prop had his hand on the ground. Touchie should have called it.

[Machpants]

Boks played clever rope a dope, as they always do. We knew what was coming but, as mentioned above, our guys weren't mentality there. The boks, and the way they play are just knock out rugby gods, they eat it up and win. We helped, and a few more blue heads we'd have won. But we don't have enough of those, even in our leaders. Next one in Oz is ours

That was the blindside flanker not the prop

[kiwiinmelb]

I feel a bit numb ,

Some things didn’t go our way but we didn’t quite execute in key moments either, hard to knock the effort though

Fuck it

[rustycruiser]

I feel so bad for the ABs after giving it their all and coming so close to have to spend 30min watching the post game shit

[Tim]

@mariner4life Now we have got to do it. And if there is a cantablacks team, then we should throw away that guy.
