Rugby World Cup 2011

Maybe Donald will be allowed to kick now Weepu is off...

 

[aussie1st]

Weepu definitely don't got it Donald on the other hand.

 

[Sedition]

Donald's going to be the saving grace of NZ.

 

[barmyarmy]

I'd say France are favourites at this point. NZ look done.

----------

I also think that Craig Joubert may have money on an NZ win...

 

[aussie1st]

Well if you believe the commentators over here, they are saying the French looked fatigued going by how they were walking to the lineout.

 

[barmyarmy]

Pen to go ahead.

 

[Sedition]

For a game where all they tweaking do is kick, they sure are terrible at it.

 

[barmyarmy]

Hmm. Well at least no-one can kick unless they're right in front.

----------

I'd love to see some overall kicking stats for this WC. Must be statistically the worst.

 

[Sedition]

Well if you believe the commentators over here, they are saying the French looked fatigued going by how they were walking to the lineout.

Over here it's advantage France, no mention of looking fatigued.

----------

Waiting for a ref decision to completely ruin the game at this point

----------

Should be the game right there, NZ just need to hold it now

 

[barmyarmy]

Commentators here reckon that should have been a French penalty.

 

[Sedition]

Great game for the neutral. Big congratulations to all the Kiwis, deserve to be the champions.

 

[barmyarmy]

Almost choked but congrats NZ.

----------

Who's the random kid on the pitch?

----------

Maybe he was the next fly half had Donald been injured.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Congrats Kiwis have started following rugby from this world cup. Was a tight finish

 

[aussie1st]

Well done NZ had to overcome the loss of a heap of 10s. France sure know how to stand up on the big stage and while they didn't deserve to be in the final they were probably the best side to stopping the ABs and probably deserved the win in the end. The Wallabies could learn a heck of a lot from them.

 

[Sedition]

I want to find replays of the first French penalty kick and Donald's successful penalty, must have been close and they didn't show the reverse angle. I'm sure they got the calls right from where they're standing anyway.

Found Donald's and it was clearly inside when I got the right frame, just looked deceptive from that angle and distance.

And the French one clearly missed. Maybe I need to get my eyes checked since I thought the opposite for both live.
