oncearugge Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 decisive period of play from 31 minutes in. forward pass, 3 points. knock on and blocking, try 5 points and 2 points for the conversion. all blacks 10 points to the good. not what i wanted to see and the officials IMHO have just killed what should have been a great spectacle of a final. Typical whinging failure. Lose therefore blame the officials ! Go away ............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optad Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Well done NZ, worthy RWC2015 champions. Really have not done much wrong since their last cup. I thought the game was worthy of a final, opponents gallant just not good enough. The entire tournament was great actually. Bit sad its done!!

It was a moment, and the pass clearly forward and should have been picked up but rugby will have some interpretative discrepancies. I don't think TF is putting the WC on the line for it. NZ were terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitawatWatawit Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 My respects to the Wallabies. At one time there in the third quarter, they looked like a defeated team - no enthusiasm and some players dragging themselves from play to play. But then came the fightback, and it took the ABs by surprise - well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neurath Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Fair result for the last year of Rugby and for the WC specifically. Bad luck for Aussies to meet one of the greatest teams in the history of the game. Fantastic intensity from the ABs to barge the Aussies out of the first half. Impressive come back in the second, but the ABs just too strong in the final 15 minutes. Looked to me like the Aussies were a little lost with Gitteau and lost a lot of grunt from Douglas buggering his knee/ankle. Home and hosed, worthy champions. You have to beat at least one but preferably two of the three great southern hemisphere teams to be a worthy world cup champion. ABs just did it.

WitawatWatawit Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Just a word about the hosts. I watched as many games as I could and every one was a pleasure and a feast for the senses. The coverage on ITV was the best I've ever seen, with quality commentators, presenters and assorted experts. If there was any criticism at all in this area, it was that sometimes there was just a bit too much palaver - could have done with more fillers (yes I know, difficult to organise and would require some serious forethought) and a bit less of the obvious repetition of questions and comments. But no biggie. As for the crowds, my only gripe was the singing of Swing Low! by the crowd when no Pom team was on the field - but that's again no biggie, just me being a GOM. Otherwise, what a fantastic turnout by the Brit supporters and what genuinely superb spectators there were at every match - they created the most amazing atmosphere you could ever imagine for every team, and made the whole tournament a real treat. There were no incidents of any kind at any match and the crowd control bobbies must have felt embarrassed about collecting their special pay. . Well done the organisers and the British supporters. Thanks for a truly memorable tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfish Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 bump ! only one rugby forum around here as long as i and only i choose to still be part of this place and post. jocks to stick it right up them and make Eddie Jones voice more annoying than it already is. on second thoughts, maybe England by a 3 - 5 winning margin. looking forward to the Welsh giving the Irish a lesson in forward possession in crap conditions !

nellyp Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Looking forward to Wales later . Not sure about Anscome at the back in this game, so hoping Sexton is off form a bit. Also not sure about leaving gethin out, but there is a problem between him and the ref i think . glad to see Cithbert out for a bit, and Tipuric is starting. .Not sure about the result, but if Wales can handle the kicking game that is bound to come, a Welsh win would be a great start. Sorry to see Scotland lose again, and Italy blow another chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to see Scotland lose again, and Italy blow another chance Yeah, I love it too when the underdog does well. Apart from a 10min spell going into halftime theyd've had it comfortably in the bag this time !! Ah well at least a draw stops a Grand Slam or Triple Crown heading down the M4 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19bry Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Sorry to see Sotland lose yet again but what a great contest they made. Overall they took the game to Wales and looked good, some poor handling cost them dear. The two supposedly best teams from last week looked pretty average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellyp Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Not very happy with the game, and condolences to scotland, but at least we won this week. No grand slam, but could still win the championshiip. only if we change a few things though. Lydiatt needs to return, and Liam Williams and Gareth Davies need to find their form. With two weeks to go, I expect a much better performance against the French, and the cup coming the right end of the M4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b19bry Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sadly nott's is correct 'winning ugly' has become a byword for all the home nations. France maybe and Italy try to play a more free running game but don't currently have the skill levels, look where Italy ended up yesterday. The title favourites under Gatland play a predominantly turgid warrenball that's not gonna win over any neutrals and England have been similarly uninspiring under Lancaster. Hopefully Eddie Jones will be a positive step forward but the skill levels of all the 6 nation teams need improving to match the sh teams Argentina were a revelation in the rwc. Cant wait tho to see Nathan Hughes in an England shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellyp Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think there is an attempt to change the style of play for all the home nations, and it can be seen in team selections, but it will take time and a different mindset. If the 6 nations was played home and away (like the SH cup) I believe that the change would happen much quicker. With more games to play, loising 1 or 2 would not be disaterous, and the win at all costs attitude would change. That's not likely though and it will be a slow process. Give it 2 years and it may be different, but not for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Let's hope Leeds and Wigan can do well (I never thought I'd say that). Leeds and Saints have both looked out of sorts at the start of the season. Scotland have been playing some entertaining rugby, but they should take their aprons off and stop BUTCHERING their opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
