RWC 2015 Final - Australia v New Zealand, Twickenham, Sunday 1 November, 3:00 AEDT

[Marcelo]

MOTM: Nigel Owens

As said earlier, without the ball you can not score.

Our ball security in contact has been very poor tonight.

We have not played well enough to win.

They didn't play so good at the first half. Big mistakes by Nigel Owens. With a narrow advantage they would haven't played so relaxed in the first minutes of the second half

See you all next year; thanks HJ!

 

[Aussie D]

looking for a silver lining - the Oz team is still relatively young and NZ will be retiring a lot of class players next year.

 

[aeneas]

Commiserations wobs fans. Perhaps a game too far for your blokes after the pool of death.

Nz were in full darkness mode today.

2nd half was better from Aus and Owens.

Well done ABs. Better team won. A great way to cap off some stellar careers. As much as he's frustrated me, fucking McCaw is superhuman.

Team that deserved to win have won.

Could have been better officiated, but the Wallabies were still their own worst enemy.

Congratulations Blecks.

Agree. I'd add losing Gits & Douglas early did not help the Wallabies chances.

 

[louie]

The best team by far ... hope Cheika stays till the next one.

 

[Bairdy]

Shattered.

 

[saulityvi]

The amount of respect the players and coaches show for each other os underwhelming, this is how you threat opposition in win and defeat, I fucking love rugby.

 

[TOCC]

Disappointing loss, I thought Owens was poor but the All Blacks were definitely the better team when it counted..

Bloody hell. I thought the All Blacks were easily the better side but it was STILL 21-17 late in the game. Bloody good effort Wallabies.

Dan Carter though, previous world cups scuppered by injury, absolutely iced it today. Awesome.

Great words from Moore.

 

[FilthRugby]

Still so proud of the Wallabies.

I agree. Kepu, Moore, Giteau, Genia, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mitchell all them are teenagers. And they are almost the half of the starting XV

 

[Chunderstruck]

Absolutely devastated.

Well done Wallabies you did us all proud.

NZ played well and did everything they needed to win. Looking forward to smoking you in the cricket! (again)

 

[John S]

Well done to New Zealand. The better team won tonight.

 

[Brumby Runner]

On the other hand. Kepu got the benefit of the doubt with a late shot. Good call by owens. A high tackle by him only got a warning. So could have been a wallaby in the bin.

Touch judges are not doing a good job and helping Owens out. Barnes doing his usual thing of being a spectator when it counts.

This is a late response and others might have already raised it, but later Kaino (I think) gets Pocock with a blatant high tackle, and not even a penalty despite it being replayed on the big screen. Consistency? I don't think so.

 

[biggsy]

Well Done to the all blacks, and a great way to end stunning era of NewZealand Rugby dominance. You will Need to find another Dan Carter to continue.....

Commiserations to the Wallabies and their supporters. One hell of a test match. That second half you boys put us under huge pressure.

That drop goal by DC was a momentum changer.

It was awarded a penalty and advantage was given to the Wallabies. They made good metres after that tackle.
