We were this close
Oct. 23rd, 2011 12:03 pmSo NZ won...8-7 ! But one point is enough to be World Champion.
I didn't expect much from this match, but France was great and it turned out to be an engaging game. Our rugby players did well, finding the fighting spirit they lacked before and made us forget all the previous games in which they were very disappointing.
It's funny, but as much as France didn't deserve to play in that final, it actually deserved to win this match. They were actually better than the All Blacks during these 80 minutes. But NZ was smart, and we lost Parra and Mr Joubert was totally biased...
Well, it happens. As I said on twitter, payback is a bitch and we find ourselves in the Welch's shoes. Wales should have won last week, and we should have won today.
That said, NZ really deserves to be World Champion, considering all its previous matches, so there's some kind of justice at the end of the day.
