 <p>I only watched the 2011 final on tv for the first time on the eve of the 2015 cup. And with good reason, it was a dire game which we tried hard to lose. The 2015 game is infinitely more watchable and I see it a few times. The ending is always a happy one!! ;)</p>

I'm not sure the English commentators actually like the game they're that measured. The closest I recall them coming to our South American type excitement was for Ma'a's try.

<p>Was enough excitement in my lounge for me...despite not normally being a fan, I loved a lot of Marshalls commentary in that game, particularly when Nonu & BB scored, probably summed up most Kiwis!</p>

 <p>Justin Marshalls professionalism and complete and utter non bias was evident right at this moment.</p>

 <p>out of interest, why should he maintain any sense of non-bias in that moment (he showed it earlier too) but given he usually reaches further the other way, how should he act in that moment?</p>

 <p>just like the rest of us. A confusing combination of jumping around excitedly, while at the same time touching ourselves intimately and passionately...</p>

 <p>Well I guess NZ are certainly not alone in having biased commentators but people whinging about Channel nines commentary team should have a look in their own backyard once in awhile...</p>
 <p> </p>
 <p>It sure was a terrific moment though.</p>

<p>I guess the point is, Marshall usually tries so hard to be impartial he is sitting on the other side of the fence, I liked the way he called the final, obviously wouldn't want it all the time, but I thought it was fine, as I said above, he got pretty excited when Nonu scored too</p>

 <p>Each to their own. I find him pretty irritating damn near all the time but not everyone can be Muzza Mexted or Bill McLaren.</p>

 Nearly as funny as if you ever congratulated Australia for being a better team at cricket, Veitchy.<br><br>
 I won't hold my breath.
