As the dust settles - RWC debrief

[Sards]

Rugby is no longer a pleasure to watch. I feel for the refs. Cannot take that much abuse and still feel a human

Paul writes that it wasn’t the only thing working against the All Blacks heading into the tournament opener.

“At the stadium on game night, the All Blacks in-house media team were denied access to the pitch-side by security, who said it was World Rugby rules – no one but rights-holding broadcasters were permitted.

“As the All Blacks staff were being told this, their French equivalents strolled past security and filmed whatever they liked, wherever they liked.”

The poor fuckers didn't stand a chance

Rugby is no longer a pleasure to watch.

It isn’t when England or South Africa play.

I am referring to the completely wanked ref bitching and threats we saw from the French, English and New Zealand sides.

Tefal, Rowenta, Morphy Richards and the above comment.
All great brands of irony.

He's doing it on purpose. Nobody could possibly be this much of a miserable winner. He's (hopefully) having the time of his life.

Being hoisted in the air by Patrick Swayze might cheer the grouchy sod up a bit

Absolutely.beside the few deserved complaints regarding the ref during the games, I’ve not see any French or English posters going on threats bitching over and over about it , first time I post something since the game… because this twat

SA shouldn’t have been in the finale anyway, even World Rugby recognized that BOK (Okeeffe) made 3 major mistakes in the 1/4 finale against the French.

[TedMaul]

Dunno about that.

[Guy Smiley]

Did anyone, anywhere, get news about Cane being cited for the tackle that resulted in his RC in the final?

He's up for a hearing tonight... I hadn't seen or heard a thing about it.

We don't bitch about the refereeing but......Boks shouldn't be there because of......refereeing.

Bloody disgrace the French, England and NZ

[Guy Smiley]

Righto Sards

[Sards]

Righto Sards

If the crown fits....wear it princesses

[TedMaul]

In order to fit your bizarre narrative would you like to see a Tri Nations hour long bitch video? It could save you an enormous amount of time scratching around evidencing your nutty feelings.

[Enzedder]

Will chuck this in here

Barnsey has retired, great ref and a great guy

Was gonna retire 4 years ago.. but was talked into staying another 4 years... the final was a bonus way to go out. Great ref.

Did he refer his decision to the TMO?

[Simian]

Red is an automatic disciplinary hearing, isn't it?

I'm not sure... because this was a Bunker referral from YC to RC... I had a vague inkling that there was room for citing commissioner discretion.

[Sards]

Teams that cry and whin like biatches should be excluded from future RWCs

[Guy Smiley]

Remember that time you were so desperate to troll in PR Sards, that you pretended to be a woman?

Remember that?

Dude. I won't resort to personal attacks , like some think to be acceptable. Even death threats to refs.

This is a very dissapointing look from NZ.......I never expected them to go all girlie like the French and England

Something about pots and kettles...

[Line6 HXFX]

Rugby is resenta'tainment. The game is designed to create angry bitterists when their team loses.

It ensures you talk about it all week and show up for the next game, instead of giving up and following Wrexham AFC...which are an absolute joy btw.

You lot are searching for excuses. Get over it and move on.

I thought South Africa is unsafe. How wrong. We can do much better then France hosting a rugby WC.

Family members of outgoing All Blacks coach Ian Foster were reportedly confronted by a man wielding a knife in Paris just days before the Rugby World Cup got underway.

According to 1News, Foster's wife Leigh and daughter Michaela were approached near where the team were staying as part of an attempted mugging, although they escaped without loss of possessions or injury. Despite not revealing the incident to the public, reports claim it was discussed by the team's management and those within the camp were subsequently warned not to head out alone after dark.

The hotel, which was believed to be situated within a high-crime neighbourhood of the city reportedly had several other issues, with some players believed to be staying in rooms without air conditioning, despite temperatures crawling about 35 degrees Celsius. It was taken out of the World Cup rotation after New Zealand had left during the early part of the tournament.

This has got to be a parody. Unreal.

The Springbokke would have felt right at home. High crime and no power for the air-con.

Ja swaer, Saffers is use to it, its part of our day to day life. The only difference is that more then 50% of the WC winning squad dont live in SA. Cheslyn Kolbey use it as an excuse not to return to a SA franchise.

[assfly]

Whose going to tell the Poms that South Africa invented rugby in the 1600s

[Insane_Homer]

Well, all I can say is, is that I'm thankful the AB's made it out of France alive and in one piece. Harrowing! I can imagine more than a few will be reviewing their lucrative Top 14 contracts and moving back to NZ asap.

[OomStruisbaai]

The RWC dust wont settle for the next 4 years.

All this due to referee/TMO decisions.

Example the French moaning like our Marylandolorian, or the Englands moaning for 29 pages in the semi about Kant (All the spivs) & and now Muttonbird & kie about Cane.

The WC just keep on giving.
