[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 157967"] It comes down to pressure. France vs Argentina in the 3rd place playoff is case in point. Nothing was riding on it really, so both teams tried things and ran the ball a lot. Matthew Tait showed a little inexperience in the final, trying to run the ball inside his own 22, slipping, and conceding 3 points in the end. Playing for your country in front of 70,000 people, contesting the biggest prize in world rugby is pretty nerve-racking I imagine. South Africa got the result using a style which, while some people may not consider fun, was hugely effective. England vs Australia wasn't beautiful a lot of the time, but it was definately exciting. Just depends if you're looking for basketball scores in every match or a brutal contest full of effort. If every team scored 50 yard tries every phase then surely that would get boring? [/QUOTE]
