France always wins when i make a bad meal... let me tell you, my coffee absolutely sucked this morning (and i normally make it quite good).

allez les bleus!

 

[180mmCrank]

France need a drop goal!

 

[thirteen]

alas?

who's the penalty on?

 

[180mmCrank]

What they have taken off Yachvili! CRAZY.

Well they all count. It's a shame that they didn't really play the way they wanted still hats off to NZ

but Les Bleus actually played better, so chapeau to them as well! no one ever really thought it was going to be a game.

Final score

NZ 8 - Fr 7

NZ grind it out for their second WC victory. Well deserved for the best rugby nation in the World.

The French were unexpectedly great but in the end they were beaten exactly the same way as they (the French) eliminated Wales. So i think it's not a right place and time to say "boo"

i can say "boo" all i want!
(and, to be honest, i was really conflicted on that one as i am a fan of Wales as well and was kind of rooting for them.)

anyways, thank you all for "watching" with me...

guess i would have been blue regardless of outcome... it would've torn me apart not to be in Paris had we won

 

[thirteen]

ah, now i get my dessert -- Chabal on the after show.

if only they had put him in the squad!

The All Blacks deserved to win the tournament, as they were the best team throughout. The French definitely made a game of it today though, so all credit to them. Harinordoquy was outstanding.

Argh! I was barracking for the French. They were all over the All Blacks in the 2nd half but couldn't run over the top of them. Dusutoir was excellent.

Trinh-Duc went all right as well.
