It’s all over. New Zealand are World Champions!
A gutsy, gritty finish to a fantastic final. They have been the best team throughout the whole tournament. France though today were incredible. Rougerie, Trinh-Duc, Yachvili and the incredible Thierry Dusautoir put in inspirational shifts. They made New Zealand work so hard today. An interesting refereeing performance from Craig Joubert as well.
If you’re a Kiwi, huge congratulations to you. Give us all your thoughts on the final below.
Jeremy is judging my message poor…
And yours, what do you think it is??
Sorry, but go around the world and you will see how this match has been for the reputation of ABs.
Why don’t you speak on they destroyed M. Parra by two times intentionally?
Why don’t you speak of the bad influence on Joubert that is a coward (more than 30 fouls against ABs not sanctionned on rucks, on mauls, on scrums, on high tackles, for Parra intentional destruction)?
Why don’t you speak of the garbage nz press that has insulted France as usual with the anglo-saxon press (french bashing)?
Didn’t you see that there is absolutely no fair play from ABs that are considered as cheaters. Go read for example the SAs and what they think about the final, abour their referee Joubert and about the final?
Why Mac Caw has the right to do what he wants (and other ABs) on every match then it is systematically penalized for other teams and continue over and over cheating on rucks (if he had a “good spirit”, he will not repeat again and agian these types of actions)?
Didn’t you read that the rugby world is fed up of this ABs favoristism?
I suggest France to leave IRB that is an anglo-saxon mafia organization and Lapasset is their servile servant. For sure and i am not the only one to say this, it’s very very bad for rugby and its so-called fair-play.
By masking all these hard facts, sure you will have a “civilized” conversation but it will be only an illusion and you will lock rugby in a very bad trend, like the football.

Among many other analysis.
SHAMEFUL for rugby, world cup and Joubert, it’s not me that says this but i agree !!
Well said Carhillen. It should be added that during the France-Wales semi final, fans was outraged at ref Roche sending off their captain on a flagrant penalty. Those same fans are now turning a blind eye to ref Joubert for not respecting the rules. Sorry for the AB, they have come to beleive that winning outside the rules is better then competing with dignity, win or lose.
Hey all you Knockers. Go have a look at the tape of Wayne Barns efforts in the 2007 quater final All Blacks v France. Just make sure you take off those le blue rose tinted glasses. Referee’s are human & make mistakes, just tell me who deserved to win that game. France played with great guts & character last Sunday. Lets hope their fans can feed off that. Your day will come, just as ours arrived last Sunday. Mr Joubert’s referreeing was certainly no worse than what Mr Barnes dished out four years ago, so suck it up & move on. I personally would love the breakdown to be less subjective, lets face it a penalty could be given to either side most breakdowns if a referree went by the book.
It’s not because of the referee of we lost sunday, we had our chances. If trinh-duc succeed in his kick 10min before the match’s end,i think that all blacks Would never come back. And stop saying that the AB’s won without dignity, Because you have to remember that If France was in final it’s just because Canada beats Tonga.all i have to say is that we had a fantastic gamme last sunday. And we Will see in 4 Years with the same final i Hope.Go France!!!
I hope to be at the next RWC in England and think it is a perfect place for France to win their first Trophy…at Twickenham…wouldn’t that be a sight to cheer all French hearts ;-).
Great game on Sunday and good luck for the next one to all teams!
Hope England can host a great one too!
AB’s 2 France nil RWC’s
Feel cheated by the ref. missed forward passes, missed illigal rucking, did not penanlize McCaw when he cheated, cheated and cheated. I dont know how McCaw cheated but Im sure that he did because he is a cheat. Ref was a cheat as well. Dont know how he cheated but because he loss the test to us he must have cheated.
Wales were cheated big time and it was McCaw who turned a blind eye, after the dekliberate poke in the eye by a Frenchman. It should have been Wales RWC. Lets see who rules the 6 Nations!
