Nothing to whine about. We did not deserve to be in the final anyway. Still, on this one game only, we could have won. NZ played like France played against Wales: a superior team, but so afraid to lose that they almost lost.
Four more years. Fuck fuck fuck

Yep go the AB's, was watching this game with the famdamly, had my AB's jersey on, my youngest had about 6 AB stick on tattoo's, an AB's flag, a NZ flag.
Then half way thru the game my wife says Piri Weepu is not on fire, I silently said we will b alright, the others will step up. France were tackling everything, then when Cruden went off and Donald came on I thought here we go everythings still cool - Yeah right. Last 5 min's I was standing up, then when Ellis kicked it out I was just numb for a while, then i thought you beauties.
What a close final that was…Havent watched the reply yet.
My mate was at the game, lucky bugger, he got home at 6 am (hope his wife woke him and told him to look after the kids). Lucky it was a holiday here today in NZ. Should b a National holiday tomoro anyways.
Peace

Congratulations to NZ!
It was a great game. Good rugby.
French defence was really good, so that the AB had to play with their feet to get over it and play with line-outs.
Unfortunately, like a French told me yesterday at the pub: "It is not just about playing good it is also about winning…"Nicely said.
All in all, the AB did just like the French against Wales a week before.I wish lots of happiness to NZ enjoying the party in their own country. That is a one in a lifetime event! Maybe more with hope!
Hope the French will be back in 4 years!
And I was already drunk at 12p.m. which was the first time in my life. But strangely enough Guinness at 10.30 in the morning after croissant and coffee, tastes good.

Before the RWC and even during the initial phase, it was Sonny Bill Williams all over, then he disappeared. I hope he stays in NZ and continues to play with the AB, he is a spectacular player and the game needs guys like him.
Defense is so powerful nowadays, I hope it's not going to become "boring": I know connoisseurs dont find it boring because of the intensity, the technicalities, but non specialists will lose interests if games are 9-8, 8-7 types of scores. So I predict there will be more law tweakings to generate higher scoring.
At the end of the day, it's going to look like League in a couple decades…
