@Maynard:
NZ v Argentina and Ireland v Romania (sure it was Rumania when I was a kid!) and SA v USA at Olympic stadium. This will be a good preview of the stadium for next season as my son and I are West Ham fans.
Sure im at the SA v USA match. Should try and grab a pint

I'm taking my parents and 7-yr old son so unlikely to happen I'm afraid.

Well played Scotland, desperately unlucky. A friendlier official and you probably would be in the semis. Australia need to get Pocock back quickly.
Well played NZ, ominous for everyone else.
Well played Argentina, comprehensively victory over the 6N champs.
SA - you did just enough to beat a one-dimensional Wales team missing almost an entire backline. -
I'm all for the Kiwis, given the final four. Go New Zealand!
-
It's gotten awfully quiet here….so what do you guys think of the forthcoming final? Exclusive down under affair that it has become. I'm still all for the All Blacks. Any consent or dissent? Bets taken?
-
The wallies for me too!
-
This is interesting. I better admit right away, I know close to nothing about Rugby and went all by sympathy for the country, and as much as I like Australia, New Zealand has always had a very special fascination for me.
So what makes the Kiwis -the Rugby team- so hate-able?
-
I don't hate them, I spent 5 months there a few years ago and would want them to win but there's a kiwi I know who would be particularly smug and unbearable should their third World Cup win come to pass. So petty personal reasons really!

Does football need a refreree camera like they have in RWC 2015?"You see it only once."
"You can not referee without a mistake."
"If no one is talking about the referee after the game, then I´ll be a very very happy man."

The points that @Maynard Friedman and @TrickHell make against the Kiwis don't really speak against the team, it seems to me. The graph supplied by @Aetas seems to show that maturity can pay off.
I don't like smugness myself, but such types surely are everywhere….and about the betting....I feel ya, but (as someone who never bets) it comes with the game, no? Better luck next time.
Still routing for the Kiwis here!

Go Blacks
but if they lose, Australia is a great team and the only one that deserves to win the RWC -
The All Blacks did it, and quite convincingly in the final. Congrats!

F**@&#g rugby. Hope NZ go on a massive losing streak from hereon …

Maynard, the Aussies are the greatest in League Rugby and watching the NRL is spectacular. Just a suggestion soi you dont get frustrated so often when watching the AB's tear a new one into 97% of their opponents
