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.

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

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

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

French and Irish "journalists" and "fans" are a pox on rugby. A plague on both their houses, whiny fluffybunnies.

Not sure how a guy who was consistently kept out of the team by Nonu and Smith is a ‘great’ but he speaks the truth here methinks. @MiketheSnow take note !

Well not really, he blames the 'rankings'. There is nothing wrong with the rankings, it WR using the rankings from the sometime in the 18th century that was the problem

Time to move on from the draw isn’t it?

NZ vs SA final who had to knock out the two faves, Ireland and France.

Only plus of it being SF instead of QF is getting to see Sextons face whilst playing for third (literally, turd).
