Aye saw the video. Couldn't believe the steward full on rugby tackling the lad though, excessive force for a kid.

Another world cup over and a fantastic world cup at that.

Great to see the tier 2 nations begin to close the gap. However I was slightly disappointed with pool A not being as close as one would have expected.
Another disappointment was the fact that the six nations performed so poorly. England never turned up. France were lucky to scrape through probably the easiest pool to inevitably get thrashed in the QF. Italy was terrible considering they have had strong regular competition for the last 15 years. Ireland and Wales performed okay considering the amount of injuries but Ireland had no answer in their QF. Scotland were also poor, argue as much as you like about them being robbed. They had no place in the semi and them being completely useless in the South Africa game ruined what would have been a great story.

The emergence of teams like Georgia and Japan was fantastic and will be interesting to see if like Argentina a regular comp in Super Rugby will help Japan.
In my bias opinion the All Blacks won due to their ability to consistently alter their play when something doesn't go right. If you look at the All Blacks QF/SF and final each game they had a different playing style. South Africa being the biggest trouble to the All Blacks not because of how they played but All Blacks overplaying keeping them in the game

Once again I am bias and if we had lost I would be a lot more negative towards this tournament.
I am interested to hear other thoughts now It is over

Don't watch rugby but have been following it mildly a Twickenham, nice to see all the Anglosphere countries together.
