i always said stephen donald was better than colin bloody slade.

and it was great to out-french the french. i have no fingernails left.

[Big D]

We played our worst game of the tournament, the French played their best game of the tournament and they still weren't good enough. That says it all really.

thats a bit hard on the frogs mate it could of gone either way, i fell it takes 2 sides to make a great final and the french played there part as much as the all blacks. im going to go as far as saying it was the best final in the history of the world cup

[wouster7]

Go the AB's, World Champions!!

i always said stephen donald was better than colin bloody slade.

Donald held up and kicked the goal. The rest of his game was girls bollocks. He tackled like wet newspaper, clammy, disturbing but ultimately ineffective. His mauling technique was appalling as he tried to rip the ball up in contact and dragged his supporting players centre of gravity up so gave france the push on and huge metres and all that pressure for the last 20.

We Got the Golden Jug so all good. All you guys wanting Donald back in black... flippertygibbi t.

Who cares? He got his redemption and delivered when it mattered.

He may not be A+ material but he was 4th pick. When you go that deep into the lineup they are never perfect and give him his due he was whitebaiting days before playing that game, not exactly in full on training camp mode like the rest of the team.

[richardbarby]

sucks to be a chiefs fan stuck with money bill millions

[daemion]

shut up. and they ditched colin bourke for sum nob head from morrinsville? wtf? geez. i was looking forward to watching the chiefs too. old money bill will excel in a new environment

[Chaoswolf]

I look forward to seeing Waikato stadium packed with ladies  If Money Bill really wanted cash he'd still be iin France?

sonny bill is only still in new zealand because he cant go back to the nrl for another year mark my words next year he will be at one of the sidney clubs manley roosters or the bunnys are my pick

[Placator]

Interesting for the Cheifs where to play him and Kahui. Thats a decent midfield.

[richardbarby]

my wife keeps telling me she dreams about how good that midfiled is, funny though shes not much of a rugby fan

[richardbarby]

i call crap ref in the 4 nations any chance of him not doing the england aussie final in 2 weeks time please

[Rhok]

Lol, England / Australia final, hang on its in the UK. Kiwis will definately get screwed by the ref being too lax on the 10m rule with the NZ / Eng game and the Kiwis with be offside all the time. Setting up for the Roos to hand out aN ass kicking from hell to the Poms in the final. Seen it happen before and funny enough it was held in the UK.
So you may be right Mr B, crap ref 

[Lezle]

Yes... I wovld imagyne it will come downe to a final with the Kiwis not par-taking.

the kiwis just dont look as good as they did over the last few years and england are looking a bit better

[daemion]

meh. the kiwis are gonna smoke the poms and stub em out.

[richardbarby]

england will be loseing the final to aussie kiwis will get an extra week off before the start of the nrl

[Rhok]

As much as I hate to admit it Mr B you are right there 

[richardbarby]

well i called the result right england are looking good time for some aussie bashing next week

[Rhok]

I think we can say were both right on all accounts. It didnt go down well that I was the token Pom at the lads big breakie this morning, much abuse was muttered. A quick change of shirt didnt help as I only had a Aussie one spare.
Still Zacks drunken display, will hide the Kiwis shame to the back page of tomorrows Herald.

[richardbarby]

that zacks a team player saving the blushes of the kiwis by acting up

[richardbarby]

i was at the pheonix game today wasnt the most exciting game of football ever but i have to say daytime sport is so much better than night time games i was home with dinner at 8.30 after the match

[richardbarby]
