Good stuff. I missed it, what was the final score?

Congratz to the kiwi's. Was a very well played second half, and for once i can't blame the ref's for poor decisions.

^^ only have Billy Slater and Joel Monaghan to thank for throwing away the world cup.... in the words of Top Gear Australia - "What Were They Thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

aye you · 22-11-2008, 11:34 PM

and they will be kicking themselves until the next world cup.

Was a great result....I wasn't even gonna bother to watch it expecting such a one sided affair...but after son told me the score 20 minutes out from full time I just had to grab myself a JD and was glued to the TV from then on. Awesome

NZ played very good solid rugby, they deserved the win.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......I was so devistated when the final siren blared.

esp302v8 · 23-11-2008, 12:08 AM

Pleasant change to see the Kiwis beat the Aussies for once !!!

esp302v8 · 23-11-2008, 12:08 AM

Just have to play cricket now..........................lol

Kinda ironic that both countries are chokers in their more dominant code of footy. The All Blacks can't win a cup to save themselves, and now the Kangaroos get a flogging. :P

you must have been watching a different game to the one that I watched with 50,000 other people at Suncorp tonight. they kept the Kiwi's in it all night. I am not saying the Aussies didnt make a heap of mistakes and probably didnt deserve to win in the end but there were some blatently wrong decisions there tonight from on the field and the video ref aswell.

uranium_death · 23-11-2008, 02:24 AM

I think it's good for the sport.

Apparently this is the first non-Australian team to win the cup since Great Britain in 1972.

If that is true, then it's just boring to constantly win it. Good to see a different face on the podium.

Can't agree with that one. I thought the ref did well.
Both sides made basic errors all game and both teams had more than enough chances to win it.
Have you seen the replay??

aye you · 23-11-2008, 04:14 PM

XR8svo care to enlighten me?

What's the point of having a League game so far after the season's ended? The players would have been barely match fit.

The NRL season finished with the grand final on the 5th of October. The Rugby league world cup started less than 3 weeks later..
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the players were still in pretty decent match shape.
Or was what you said just a really bad excuse for losing???

The *grand final*, not every player on the park played in the grand final. I'd be quite surprised if the majority of the players didn't wind down after the season ended.

Didn't give a rats about the result, didn't even know the game was on. That's how interested I was.

So why have you bothered to post on here ??
It doesn't matter anyway.. Both sides would have been the same...

**FTE217** · 25-11-2008, 10:04 AM

Sport is a great leveler when least expected, well done to the kiwis, great result for league in general.

I would have given a rats if they played the match *during* the footy season. Based on reports it was a scrappy game which isn't much of a surprise.

Why don't you watch it for yourself?
Maybe then you'll know what your on about..... might give all of us a chance too.

Think about it

:

There's teams from the northern hemisphere competing (or should I say attending) to you know.

Would you rather they interupted the NRL for a month while they played the WC ?

**ebxr8240** · 25-11-2008, 11:21 PM

If the other side had won you wouldn't have said that!!
Btw it wasn't a scrappy game either..
But you know that..
Both the commentators said it should be a penalty try..
You and Ricky Stuart should get over it!!
You cannot have a world cup during the domestic footy season...
Same with any touring test series..

You've never seen a test played during the regular season?

They even field 2 teams to play SoO.

The result is inconsequential. I'm Scottish, if I were to choose the team I wanted to win, it would have been Scotland, not Australia!

I also didn't say anything about a penalty try!

If the World Cup was being held in the Northern Hemisphere, I would want it to be played during their regular season, as it was - it was held 1 week before Summer in possibly the worst place to hold it during this time of the year.

:

So you didn't watch it because it wasn't played during the footy season. But your more than happy to listen to others reports on the game and then draw POINTLESS conclusions which no one else in this thread has agreed with.
You then call ME a weirdo as well as admitting to being Scottish.

Aren't scots living proof that Irish can swim??
