    My thoughts exactly. That was way too close for comfort but got there in the end thankfully.
    New Zealand have to be favourites now though for the final. Not that it makes me feel any better but it shows how close we were to winning a World Cup despite the brutal draw. We really missed a good shot at it losing that game to New Zealand.

    Disagree, albeit I'm a fair weather neutral, thought it was plenty entertaining.

    Plus I've never heard the missus moan like that for 80 odd minutes in my life...

    Thought it was thrilling tbh, best side won, and what a way to win it against the opposition they have faced all tournament.

    The standard of the rugby in the Final perhaps wasn't the greatest, but have to take into account the conditions, the opposition, the occasion and everything else. Besides, being so tight and the errors kept the tension right on the wire. South Africa to win a QF 29028 v France, SF 16-15 v England & 12-11 v All Blacks in the Final is one * of a story.

    All in all though, been one of the best WC's overall, especially in this knockout phase. Apart from the NZ v Argentina SF every one of those games has been a classic pretty much. Had everything, upsets, tense, tight and tough thrillers, some real throwback old school rugby blenderd with electrifying stuff, the quality at times was top notch.

    Fantastic showing from Ireland. Granted, France’s red card has an impact, but the home team never looked anything remotely like their best.

    Wales v Scotland tomorrow is a massive game, bring it on!

    Quite the start by the Azzuri. England look rattled so far. Incredible start to this year’s tournament!

    Gatland got a group of raw but exciting kids there, could be interesting in a few years, he’s done it before in wales.

    He retired from rugby as Wales highest points scorer, with 90 from 25 games, and partnered Edwards a then record 23 times for Wales and five more with the Lions on two tours. He retired at 27.
