    Tournament over. Aus has no hope.

    NZ will bash and niggle us then cruise on in. Congrats in advance

    giteau was actually busted i think, even though he was doing well - i think cheika yanked him to save his biscuits for the final

    pocock is the new mccaw and will be immense for some time to come

    either way this will be a ripper final, the only two top teams that have really tried to play rugby, rather than bludgeon the opposition to death in defence and kick for set pieces

    hansen and cheika should be applauded for the direction of their kicking games to keep the ball behind the forwards, rather than mercilessly kicking for touch to bring them back into it

    hansen was getting slayed in the NZ press for the way they played through the group phase - but it's set them in good stead for the pointy end of the competition. dan carter constantly turned the big SA pack around through a smart low kicking game, making them run all day.

    on a side note, australia made more tackles last night than they did against wales

    don't try and talk yourselves down pal, straya will have the wood on NZ at the breakdown - there will be cards, mccaw and hooper the front runners - whoever avoids them will win the game

    my kiwi roommate already has her pre ready "you shouldn't be in the final anyway" if we win it.

    I think it will be close.

    chieka has coached the shit out of an okay team imo.

    straight up truth boss.

    but the Kiwis generally get away with the niggle and we cant do it properly.

    Aussies have done a great job and I think will call 2nd a successful tournament considering we couldnt control a scrum a year ago.

    ABs too good at the moment. Every 50-50 call has gone their way, including a few 0-100 calls.

    Nah I don't think it was Wilson. The dude I'm thinking about was in the all stars team and I swear there was a whole team of him that you could unlock.


    Edit: man we smoked a LOT of pot playing that game.
