[QUOTE="Isurus, post: 463190, member: 43792"] That match physically hurt me. My gut is so tied in knots. To France - you were the better team today, congratulations on a fine performance. We were favoured by the ref today and that is a shame - it does take some of the shine off this victory. I get the feeling that the IRB and the referees really did not want a repeat of how NZ lost in 2007 but the pendulum swung too far back the other way today. New Zealand only wants a level playing field so it becomes about the rugby and nothing else. It is impossible to say what would have happened but right now it feels like we would have lost this game without the "rub of the green" from the guy with the whistle. Having said that, I will take this win. We have had enough **** to deal with over the years (2007 obviously, but 1995 as well) so it kind of feels like we were due a bit of "luck". I'm meant to be feeling euphoric right now but not even close. Need to get some more alcohol in my I think. Again, well played France. [/QUOTE]
