Personally, don't care who loses this one.

Just looking forward to a good tight match.

Nothing wrong with that tackle, he was committed.

Thought penalty was a bit harsh

Quite legal.

T'eo was cited for same last season against Ospreys when Matthew Morgan was knocked out but was not suspended to almost unanimous agreement on the brook.

Bad tackling technique was the general opinion.
Looked the same there.

Lovely composure in the execution of that try. Hard to see a way back for the Wobblies with the NZ nerves settled.

The interesting thing about world cup finals is that no team playing them should ever consider them as even remotely unbeatable. The neutral spectators will aways get good value for their money.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Stfu Barnsey, Dan Carter dropping the odd goal is not even similar the engurland's approach to the 2003 World Cup.

FFS Barnes, pocock might be blocky but he's not a f%~king prop.

I'm glad NZ won playing rugby.
With so many survivors from the 2011, the belief in their ability to play their own game was refreshing.
The two best sides in the final with the best side playing the best rugby prevailing. Unlike 2011, a most satisfactory final.

Well done New Zealand.
