Best game so far?

Last game got me wondering.

Top close to make that call.
I'd add Ire v RSA as well, just without the tension.

I'd say that NZ v Ire was more enjoyable to watch than today, because it always felt the laws were being applied equally to both sides. Always get a soru taste in the mouth when it doesn't feel that way - including when it's my team getting the benefit.

Ire v NZ
I'd choose FRA v RSA, but posts of Irish fans here broke my heart

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Easy pick. Especially as it was Hosts v the defending champions. First half was different level and blow for blow.

Ireland v SA was better for me. It was an incredible test match, best of the year for me!

I'm not sure though, if these 3 standout matches arent being overblown because of all the dross, and drubbings we've had to watch.

Theres been an unreal amount of rugby played this year, 99% of it patch teams or huge mismatches. Fra v Ire and NZ v SA (first one) have probably been the only real quality before these 3 RWC matches.

Portugal vs Fiji

the taranaki canterbury semifinal was a cracker.
