And yet according to you the whole reason your team lost was because of the way Lawrence interpreted and governed the breakdowns, sentiments shared by Welsh, Samoan and French fans towards their refs as well. I think the stupid ones are the ones who are now crying like little girls because they...

I agree, I think the section of AB fans who blamed Barnes for that loss were and still are pathetic poor losers. Just like how the segments of Welsh/French/SA/Samoan fans who have done exactly the same this WC are also pathetic poor losers. Although those who actually take it up to the...

Score flatters wales a bit given how superior the aussies were and how poor wales are especially on attack. Bugger about Cooper he was looking good before his injury.

That was ridiculous, bad luck aussie.

I haven't seen anything like that at all. But I have seen comments like this from Henry and co "Henry said nobody in the All Blacks camp was counting them out yet.He said the French did not play well in their semi but will play better in the final, and can still be the best team in the world...

Yeah the mantle of 'world champs'that seems gets automatically assigned to the winner for four years, is a bit of a misnomer if that team doesn't maintain dominance. The IRB rankings determine the best team in the world. I don't really get fans who just seem to live off WC wins and don't really...

Exactly no team would have beaten the AB's yesterday. Aussies need to look at the game as what it was, against a team at their peak, playing at home and with that much history driving them. The wallabies have the potential to do the same in 4 years time if they don't make wholesale changes.

Yep Wales was clearly the best team in the tournament despite losing to both SA and France whom the AB's destroyed.... The sending off was fair and reasonable, Warburton screwed up, deal with it and stop crying.

Not sure if srs.... Theres a good reason why they lost to Tonga, they are a horrible team and thanks to Warburton the final is going to be a farce.

Yep all tackles are dangerous, which is why we need to make those that are delibrately and unnecessarily so, illegal. There has been a clear signal sent by the refs during this tournament, whom themselves under strict instruction, that such tackles will be punished severly. Warburton and...

A loss is the best thing that could happen to SA rugby if they now use this as an opportunity to bring in fresh blood and a foreign coach without the baggage. Someone who will utilise the fantastic backline talent and not let how the team play be dictated by a World Cup glory obsessed group of...

And sounding every bit as pathetic as AB fans blaming Wayne Barnes for 07

Refs are just another variable, the best teams and coaches adapt. The inability to convert that much territory, dominance and possession into tries cost SA the game and it's not like it wasn't an issue coming into the WC.

Pretty hypocritical to slam the Samoan supporters when from the sounds of it you do the exact same thing when things don't go your way.

Either way it's a ridiculous and pathetic response by the Samoan players and supporters to be coming out with all this garbage like death threats and calling Owen racist and saying that it's part of a conspiracy against them. Whose going to want to play them when thats the reaction when they...

Still need to see Samoa up against the AB's before gauging there suitability for the 3N. Can't help but think that a better attacking side keeping the ball in hand would have smashed them and the scores more a reflection of the Boks limitations than any real power shift in world rugby terms...

The score flattered England, I would hardly call it a drubbing. I think it would have been something like 25 to 31 going into the final quarter if Georgia had a decent goal kicker. England were woeful at the breakdown and they will get crucified by better opposition. Don't have a problem with...

Which makes PDV's insistence that the Boks can only compete in the big games by reverting back to the pressure/kicking away possession all the more flawed... We saw what the backs can do when they are allowed to play like that, like a completely different team and world class.

Ex pat. Just hate the sheer waste of talent and ability which is a direct result of PDV and the utterly inept administration.

Man this game would have been perfect for Aplon... Good to see SA's rush/play in the opposition backline being penalised SA do look good when they keep ball in hand which is what they have to do.
