[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 463177, member: 12190"] Really disappointed in the result, I was so behind France and as I said earlier was just incredibly proud of how they played. To be honest iit just proves that all the idiots and fanboys who wrote france off and said they'd be smashed really don't know the first thing about rugby. In a parallel universe France would be celebrating right now because it was that close. But I'm glad that France did themselves proud and showed why, at least in my view, they are the best northern hemisphere team. Despite supporting France I love New Zealand as a country and think the people are incredible.Noone would claim they don't deserve to be champions. I do think, however, that they were given too much leeway at the breakdown. So many occasion where I was convinced dusatoir was on his feet challenging for the ball, New Zealand were holding on, and it should have been a penalty. It just seemed to be that extra second that was given to NZ to clear out which proved the difference in those contests. That said, people talking about corruption and NZ buying the cup can do one. The thing this dispels for me is the crap that people come out with about the team who deserves to win. So often the winning team gets vilified because they won despite not putting out a top performance. You don't just become undeserving simply because the other team played well. [/QUOTE]
