Cane: “Obviously so many s*** emotions, on a personal level and on behalf of the team. Mixed in there is a heck of a lot of pride with the way the boys fought out there tonight, gave ourselves an opportunity. They’re just a bunch of warriors.”

Did he let slip more players are joining RTS coming to the Warriors???

They don't have the power!
They don't have the speed!
They don't have the skill!
Those things they fuckin' need!
Get up and shout it!
Say it till the end!
The All Blacks lost the World Cup!
100%!

Congrats to South Africa

The All Blacks outperformed by making the final and pushing the scoreline difference to 1 point. For a team that can’t catch, it’s not a bad result

 

[Coops]

Quite the feat - winning 4 world cups but only scoring a try in one of them.... Only in RU

is this a true stat?!!

 

[jonesy101]

is this a true stat?!!

I believe it was 2 tries in the 2019 final, otherwise yes.

 

[Matiunz]

Who would we want? No fkn Barretts please, Beuden dropped more ball in that final than Manu's horror game.

I’d take Jordie Barrett in a heartbeat. Savea would be a beast too

Mark Telea is quick and also has a huge engine and Cam Roigard would make a dynamic half.

I believe if given the right opportunity Cam Roigard will be the next Aaron Smith. It's his spot if he wants it for the next decade.

Yes your correct 32 points in 2019 of which 22 came from the boot and 10 from 2 tries

They put a stat up at half time in the Argentina v England game yesterday, one of the English wingers only contribution to the game was 1 missed tackle, don't think I've seen a stat like it.

Apparently the player in question is supposed to be the future of England centre play, gets stuck on the wing, doesn’t contribute and gets subbed off in an entirely meaningless game.

Not Christie's?

Find it funny that Rugby is apparently so much more competitive and yet...

Union: 2 different world cup champions and 5 different grand finalists in the past 20 years
League: 2 different world cup champions and 4 different grand finalists in the past 20 years

(It obviously is more competitive, but those stats fit my agenda lol)

Lol that’s blatant nitpicking results, using 86 on LWC has 4 finalists and 2 winners- 1 one off and the rest dominated by Aus.
RWC has 5 finalists and 4 winners.
Agree unions international appeal gets overblown a bit but it’s still light years ahead of League with 3x the amount of ‘competitive’ nations and 5x the professional comps

 

[Makasene]

is this a true stat?!!

Beauden Barretts try was also the first try they have conceded in a WC final. Crazy

 

[WahsaurusRex]

Lol that’s blatant nitpicking results

I would never do such a thing!!

 

[juju]

Not Christie's?

Why did they sub off Aaron Smith.... weird...

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Aside from a 10-15 spell when the AB team were having some success moving the ball wide that final made for grim viewing. Mind you, the people who run rahrah will probably think it was great, reminds them of the time they scrummed the opposition into submission when turning out for the old scrotumians third XV

Wayne Barnes has been receiving death threats from Allblacks fans following the RWC final.

I genuinely hope they lose every game by 1 point with fans like this.

There should be an All Black fan waiting outside his house to follow him around in his everyday life and boo him like a Samoan playing for the Kiwis.

The best thing about this result is rugby fans can finally STFU about mocking Warriors fans for moaning about ref calls
