That's enough for me. SA definitely got the rub of the green last week.

Yep let’s not miss a chance to have a lame dig at Australia.
You’d hope as a country we’d grown out of this embarrassing, completely unfunny shit.

Angus Ta’avo was good value I thought. The old “ring ring, try time” was class comedy.

There is nothing more tedious than a massive online ref whinge from supposed "neutrals"
Oh no, if only Angus had found ways to scrub off 4 AB tries, then they would only have won by
Checks notes
3 triesI thought Gardner was good today. Super clear in his communication. Didn't blow little shit, but obvious shit. The dominant team got the rub, same as always.
Irish fans thinking thats a stitch up are completely devoid of self-reflection.
I don't expect perfection, I expect a guy to manage thr game and let the players sort it out
(If I had a whinge I thinknthe worst call of the game was binning a guy for an infraction 80+ metres from.his try line with no warning)

Everyone goes against the ABs when they start winning. Especially from the British Isles, that’s nothing new.
Which makes Burgers comments all the more disappointing. That’s not the bloke that used to smash and be smashed by JC back in the day then have a beer afterwards !

Richie denied Will Jordan the chance to do a Jonah!
Really poor by Richie. He needs to sort his head out before the final. Not only denied Jordan 4 tries. But NZ a record semi winning margin. F++king idiot

Firstly, Richie played well. His tackling has improved out of sight. His linking play superb. Got a few deep kicks in too.
No one really remembers scores from RWC semi finals anyway. And he knows to keep Jonah’s record in tact.
Now just hand me the Knight in Shining Armour Fernie.

A few years after the goal line drop out rule has come in it's great to see the ABs attacking smartly near the line. Have a half crack at the line but if it's not on recycle back rather than get held up over the line. Also good to see them using space wider than simply bashing close only. See Jordan's first try.

We were very patient and didn’t get over excited with a half chance. We built up the middle and then when the space was there we pounced. In the past we have pushed it too early.

Was the pass from Savea to Jordan forward or flat for Jordan’s last try? Asking for a troupe of grumpy journalists

Definitely not forward, there was an overhead shot that proved it FFS

Isn’t it beautiful. Love a whinging former Bok player. I’ll go easy on Burger missing all the cynical crap that the Argies did at the breakdown that Gardner missed mind you, given he made a living parking his body on the opposite side of the ruck, entering in from the side, I gotchu

"This wasn't how it was supposed to beeee" they wailed
"It was our time!" They cried
"Deseeeeerved" they sobbed
Delicious salty tears making the inevitable NZ v SA final even sweeter. Salted caramel if you will.

Because he sees the same thing that everyone else sees, apart from those wearing black tinted glasses. Another fuck up of a ref shafting the weaker team on the micro decisions over the entire game. Of course it makes no difference to the outcome of the game. AB's were always going to hammer a poor Argentina side. But it does end any competitiveness and the potential for a decent game to watch.

Fuck the whingers we are in the WC final, they aren't,Lets finish it off and bring Bill home.

@The-Irishman although you see the bits you want to see, even as a neutral, see all the wailing in pool play when the other minnows got reemed by the ref, but the better sides fans don't see it as clearly or as much.
Refereeing is at an all time low IMO, WR really needs to have a good look at things, despite the 1/4s last week being so good, this has papered over other issues.
