He was boderline the whole time, not cheating per se... just not vocal enough and making some very borderline calls.

let me guess NZ have never scored a try in a WC or Tri-nations from a 'flat'....see FORWARD pass??
I'm sure they have from FLAT passes, but watch this and you decide:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_9VkrFaJc4
How that is missed is unbelivable.

I hope the ref of the england - oz game gets to ref the world cup if it hasn't already been pre determined, very vocal, let the players know what he wanted, what was going on and used his touch judges. Very fair both ways.

While we're at it, watch this slowly. Over and over again.

Well done to the Argies for knocking over the frogs for a second time to take 3rd place.... Team of the tournament for me.

yes the Pumas were very good all tournament. to beat the frogs twice is a good result.
they will now be pushing real hard for a place in the tri or 6 nations. i believe they deserve a spot.
in the meantime, GO THE BOKS!

Surprising since France had played so well to get into the semi final, but you can't take anything away from Argentina, very well played.

Go The Mighty Boks! Woo Hoo!

worst world cup EVER. and i had money on the boks so no sour grapes - just boring, although the argies touching up the frogs was good to see.

Yes it was a typical boring final, however a wins a win & no one remembers the score but just who wins
