GJ to France you played well.
2 very close matches in quarters should be a great semi final.

Agreed. Good news for All Blacks and Wallabies tho' is that by making the 1/4 finals they don't have to qualify for 2011

France didn't win that game, NZ lost it, All Blacks got sucked into playing aerial ping pong which France deservedly won we choked cause France aint even a quality side. If only they kept the ball in hand they may have had a different score line. It also proves that NH boring rugby style can still prevail a win over the SH open flair playing style. We may have lost but remember 4 more years means we win the rights to host that cup and all the moaning in the world ain't going to change that
We look foward 4 years from now

I'm Ok with your firt sentence, but that's part of the game. We had the chance to experiment it recently against Argentina.
Go away with your boring NH rugby style. It's clearly the first time that I hear someone critisizing our game like that. Ireland's and France's styles boring ??? Let me laught
Even England has understandood that up and unders and pick and go are not the only recipe.
NH game is not more boring has a SA/Australia can be
I've just read a paper where Mc Allister is complaining about the ref decision to send him on the bench.
-First it's the first time I can hear this kind of reaction, arguing a decision (We're not in football, remind it
please...). Coming from a All Black, it's desapointing me even more.
-And secondly, the fault is really clear. You can watch it on and on, and could even been sanctionned by a penalty try if the ref had been rude.
I don't think Graham Henry would have comen in the French cloakroom to congratulate after the victory if he had estimated it had been a stolen one
Still think that NZ is the strngest and the most beautiful to see playing team, but yesterday they were not.
Resolving you big rendez-vous problems is up to you, not to any ref

You must realise these guys have been building for 4 years. So a hit back at the ref for a sending off is natural. It comes with frustration (even though the ref DEFINITELY was wrong in this case). Your a gracious man to still complement us even though half of our supporters are total f*** wits talking **** and looking like morons.
I admit you deserved to win, but as you said, we still played very ****. This is the only way you had a chance yesterday... we had to play at our worst and you really had to nail us for it. You did. You won. Well done.
