Test Rugby 2015 Rugby World Cup Final: New Zealand v Australia

[King Elvis]

That's a shockingly bad try to give up right at the half time mark.

Why is our line out so bad?

We lost our main jumper in the first five minutes.

 

[King Elvis]

Tackle made tackle made!

Yes Owens you ****** the tackle wasade. Doesn't exuse the fact there was an obstruction we had to get around to make the ******* tackle you corrupt campaigner.

Not only that, Fardy had that ball and the Kiwis didn't release.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Well, as bad as the umpires have been the Wallabies have been worse.

 

[boncer34]

Owens is a campaigner but we've been terrible.

 

[King Elvis]

Probably game over, and their last 10 points have come from absolute bullshit ref decisions.

 

[Kram]

This is going to be flogging now..

 

[Andronicus]

The AB team themselves are actually quite likable.

It's the rest of the kiwis that make it easy to hate them.

 

[Jimmybob]

Why is it always s**t refs that ruin a game? Woke up for this bullshit

Now to listen to nz campaigners talk crap

 

[King Elvis]

The AB team themselves are actually quite likable.

It's the rest of the kiwis that make it easy to hate them.

The All Blacks are one of the most admirable and like able sporting teams in the world - they're absolutely brilliant, and a real class act.

We were always going to be hard up to knock them over - we sure as hell don't need the ref gifting them points.


Not to mention losing Giteau and Douglas in the first 10 minutes; that's killed our line out and hampered our attacking moves.

We need everything to go our way...

And nothing is.

 

[placebo]

There's been some poor decisions no doubt, but we've been very average. They just look like a much better team all-round at the moment, more composed, better ball movement and better physically.

 

[Deaneus!]

Having seen Carter nail 4/4 shots from difficult angles, could an AFL team bring him over and bring in place kicking for shots at goal?

 

[boncer34]

There's been some poor decisions no doubt, but we've been very average. They just look like a much better team all-round at the moment, more composed, better ball movement and better physically.

Pretty much sums it up.

 

[Aucklander]

There's been some poor decisions no doubt, but we've been very average. They just look like a much better team all-round at the moment, more composed, better ball movement and better physically.

Pretty much nailed it.

 

[Carolyn]

Ruined the biggest game in four years

 

[King Elvis]

There's been some poor decisions no doubt, but we've been very average. They just look like a much better team all-round at the moment, more composed, better ball movement and better physically.

Yep.

Like I said, we need everything to go our way; the ABs are clearly the best side in the world, we need the perfect day to beat them.

The ref has been poor though; again, given they are a better team, we can't afford missed forward passes or different strictness at the breakdown, or allowing obstructions to be unpunished.

Giving up that try right on half time is unforgivable - they'd dominated the first half, if we could've gone into half time within 10 points, we'd still have a chance.

Long way back now.

 

[Deaneus!]

Went to the South Island for a week at the start of the year - I'd be proud too mate; beautiful place filled with great people.

South Island? I hate those *s!

Nah, from the North Island, Carterton in the Wairarapa district. Came to Australia as a child (both parents born in Adelaide, but were living with family). Most family is over there.

 

[Andronicus]

There's been some poor decisions no doubt, but we've been very average. They just look like a much better team all-round at the moment, more composed, better ball movement and better physically.

Very true.

It's just a shame that those poor decisions have made such a decisive impact on the scoreboard rather than the superior play.

 

[manboob]

I love how the AB tops look like they were made in an afternoon after a trip to K-Mart - black t-shirts and some duct tape

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

So 3 points given up off the back of a horrendous non-call on a forward pass.

And a try given up off the back of an obstruction. Here's a tip Ref, when you run into the back of your own player - it's a scrum to the opposition. Not play on and not a try.

So without the ref missing s#it. The scoreline at half time is 6:3

Thanks to Owen. It's 16:3

The AB's MVP is the dude with the whistle at the moment.

 

[manboob]

Very true.

It's just a shame that those poor decisions have made such a decisive impact on the scoreboard rather than the superior play.

It will blow the scoreline out by about 15 points which is the disappointing thing. Not a true reflection on the game.

 

[Astro_]

Suddenly nighttime over there??

 

[Shiv]

Look out for some izzy falou magic to bring the wallabies back into the contest!

 

[Wallaby]

I'm a big fan of 'Bad decisions happen. Suck it up'.

But, it is a shame it has had such a huge impact here. Ah well. Sh!t happens.

 

[King Elvis]

Look out for some izzy falou magic to bring the wallabies back into the contest!

We need Pocock to get involved...

And stop kicking it away; we aren't going to win with only 30% possession.
