Kolisi not getting a red is straight up bullshit.

Anti-rugby wins. Dreadful final characterised by poor handling and won by a team scoring in multiples of 3.

Stats will be interesting.
SA have managed to be the most negative team to ever win a World Cup. Not sure that attracts new fans.
Also, Kilosi is a great player, but how his tackle merits a lower sanction that Cane’s is unexplainable.

Come off it. As I said earlier I didn't even think Kolisis was a penalty. It was a tight game between two good teams that cancelled each other out to some degree.canta_brian wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2023 10:13 pm Stats will be interesting.

Oh and although Savea is a great player, take the points. Thats what lost this for NZ.

Well that was pretty dreadful.
I take the point about negative rugby, but that was hardly circus entertainers vs farm labourers, was it? NZ had more going forward perhaps, but not ENOUGH more to have any complaints IMO. They were the better side in the 2nd half, but only 5 points better when they needed 7. It's still a problem for the game's evolution IMO, that a team who can be so dazzlingly entertaining one week, can be so utterly nullified once they meet another team at their physical level. And that goes for both sides today, really. It's why France going out was a bad thing not just for France.
