The 2023 Rugby World Cup official thread

Amazing! Only negative was the French attitude and booing.

We sat between 2 groups of NZ supporters with other Bok supporters in front and behind us. The NZ guys were respectful and actually discussed the game with us while being played.

The French though kept on going on about how Ben O'Keefe can now get a South African passport and other snide remarks.
French are super salty, f uck them, they stole the hosting rights out from under our noses, we stole the William Webb Ellis from right under theirs, fairs fair... c unts....
 
Assault? Geesus man, you getting carried away, landing on his leg was purely accidental, the wrap around Bongi's neck was not. Penalty and yellow card more than ample sanction. There's no ways you can conclude that he was intentionally trying to maime Bongi.

There were more elements of assault in PSDT's tackles on Jordie. Brutal! And all perfectly legal.
and what a beautiful sight to beyond, tackle after tackle...even old Mo'unga got his far share of PSDT...pretty sure plenty of PTSD nightmares in the coming months for them...

Did you read the article? The first sentence of the article...
It doesn't say which RWC final.

It just has 'Rugby World Cup' final linked.... which takes you to a page which is a non-sequiter.

That's as good as a dead link.

I mean it might be this RWC final... but why be vague about it? Why not just be clear?

We actually played teams 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 this year, just not all of them in the RWC.

I think if the Boks had beaten Ireland NZ would still be 2nd now.

Jesus, an article published the day after the Rugby World Cup Final ,and you honestly think that this is somehow confusing? :oops:

Never mind that this is the first time Barnes has refereed a World Cup Final, but you do you, Lexxie... :rolleyes:

Try not to put words in my mouth. I never said it was confusing. I said it wasn't clearly stated, which would have been a very easy thing to do.

It wasn't clear from the article.

Maybe you take the name of the news outlet a little too literally, to suspect they might be guilty of click-baiting.
 
It's kind of scandalous that only Eben made it into the team of the year. Not to mention Jacques being snubbed for coach of the year. I'm happy that Ardie got player of the year though. It seems like these decisions were made weeks ago. Its bit of a joke. I guess I stopped taking them seriously since they snubbed Fourie Du Preez in 2009.
 
Thank you Wayne Barnes for the win! If you did not accidentally award us a converted penalty I would've had to delete my account as promised!
