I would like that, but I feel like that won't happen. It's going to be a tight, low-scoring game. As is the norm for RWC finals. Just to make your bum squeak a bit more.

Any hope of an online live stream that doesn't go through Sky? If they'll put it free to air on prime, the least they could do is make it free to internet for NZ IPs.

AB's in an important match outside Eden Park?

I'm trying to stay optimistic.

Man the Aussies are good at the breakdown, so many turnovers!

ABs look so good (apart from s few handling errors)... Do Australia have a 2nd half comeback in them?

A lot of haters proved wrong this world cup. No more AB chokers. Carter shouldn't be 1st 5 pfft (seriously is he the best AB ever?). Also my man Sonny-Bill once again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1efwKglwZU

I found this interesting. If someone tries to get past security then they have to stop them. So I don't think there is anything wrong with the kid being tackled.
But good on him if he felt that it would mean more to the kid than to him.

A lot of people seem to think that the tackle was a bit rough. But yeah good on SBW, that (viral) gesture has been great for him and the All Blacks.

If it'd been done in NZ, i'd agree that it was a bit rough.
But it was done in the UK, a different magnitude of potential threat applies; security dude sees quick moving person with no way of knowing the persons intent, tackle is absolutely the appropriate response. At least he wrapped the arms...

“I am very surprised, the other boys would’ve done the same thing,” Williams said after the presentation, according to ESPN.

He added: “Also [All Blacks forward] Liam Messam gave him his beanie and is wondering whether he can get a replacement.”

Still feeling very ragged today. Yesterday's festivities went on a bit longer than was really necessary.

OK,

Ma'a Nonu is a player I used to regularly bag for being a glory-hog who made shitty decisions. He is not that player now. The dude is 100% class, talent, hard work, and maturity and I apologise for everything I've ever said about him. What a performance.

Also, might I just say how delighted I am to have the lineout as an area of dominance. We've always smashed the Wallabies in the scrums but my arse is still bleeding from the Eales and Gregan years when the Wallabies would kick for touch knowing they had a good chance of stealing the lineout.

Yep, it took Nonu a little while to grow but he is absolutely brilliant now.

The lineouts have been great. Just about no lineout loses and plenty of lineout steals. Not just against Australia, but against SA as well.

My thought was the same. There have been plenty of international stories where school age children want to go out with a bang.

I thought the boy was an innocent young kid that got away from his caregiver and got a little too excited.

Nope, he's a 14yo private school student.

Nice gesture by SBW, but over the top.

I swear some of you guys sound like sports talkback radio callers.

SBW can do whatever the fuck he wants, lol?

Edit- thought this was lol-as considering Chucks support of the Aussies against "The New Zealand Blacks"
