What happened to their great backs.
New Zealand will rip them to shreads.
so we all agree we are looking for a repeat of the 1987 Final?
I'd like to see NZ win by 30 or more or not let France score at all.
If NZ can scire like France did asngainst us then they will win comfortably. I thiought aussies contributed to a great senmi final
but I feel they will overwhelm Wales.

hope wales can fight back with Quade Cooper off, I don't think the Aussies hasve much firepower up front to trouble Wales.
Wales by 8- 10.
RE: Rugby world cup 2011 - rickhardo - 21-10-2011 20:16
Speaking as one who put money on the Aussies to win the tournament (though I'm glad they haven't) I wish Cooper had got injured a few games ago - he's been a liability.
Anyway, as for the final NZ to win by 18. Please don't let them choke now.
RE: Rugby world cup 2011 - lovebabes56 - 22-10-2011 06:09
NZ to win by 20-25 though I'm more interested in which French team will be turnnig up. I hope it's the good one to make the Final the spectacle it's supposed to be!! Yet then how the f**k did such a poor team make it this far??
RE: Rugby world cup 2011 - rickhardo - 23-10-2011 08:19
With an hour or so to go to the Final I thought I'd come up with a Team of the Tournament.
1 Tony Woodcock (NZ)
2 Rory Best (Ire)
3 Adam Jones (Wal)
4 Sam Whitelock (NZ)
5 Alun Wyn Jones (Wal)
6 Jerome Kaino (NZ)
7 Sam Warburton (Wal)
8 Imanol Harinordiquy (Fra)
9 Mike Phillips (Wal)
10 Dan Carter (NZ)
11 Cory Jane (NZ)
12 Jamie Roberts (Wal)
13 Conrad Smith (NZ)
14 James O'Connor (Aus)
15 Israel Dagg (NZ)
Pretty depressing that no Englishman got close to this team.

Bloody hell that was close. You have to say France were magnificent - superb in defence, wonderfully physical up front and dangerous in the backs. NZ were very very lucky to get away with that but there's no doubt they were the best side through the tournament.

totally agree. We all thought the french would get a walloping, but hteir were magnifique - to coin a phrase. Would they have own in extra time? I doubt it. NZ have shown what it takes to be the best in the world b ut there is osmething specvial to win a world cup on your home territory. Maybe that night be the thing that may spur England
to the same in 2015.

that's how I see it too..if only England had played more aggressively or turned on the style sooner, would we have seen an Englishman
in that team?
