    Probably more dramatic when I was watching while drinking 20 years ago.

    But still a great hit, White was really good at those.

    @Duluth Downward pressure = try.

    The knock on was after that.

    Most of the sides at the 2003 RWC tried to play a bit and score tries. There was lots of entertaining Rugby.

    By 2007 it was much more about kicking from hand and defence. Lots of the games were arm-wrestles.

    Not part of the definition since whenever.

    Cycles in playing styles, coaching but particularly law variations.

    Usually as a result of one team learning to play the laws better than the others.

    Making no comment on who that one team generally was ...

    "Downward Pressure" is a bit like "the referee is the sole judge of fact and law".

    It was in the laws for some long people just can't let it go.

    @booboo The Laws talk of ‘grounding the ball’ which is basically the same thing.

    I watched the opening ceremony and game but have never seen the final.

    I did go to the two AB pool games in Melbourne. I even had a brief chat to a couple of ABs while walking around the city.

    Where do I start? Mitchell leaves Cullen out in favour of Atiga, Tana gets crocked in a freak incident as Carlos crabs across the midfield. Tana says he's okay to play, but Mitch and Robbie (the artist soon to be know as Dingo) pick the revolving door that was Leon MacDonald at 13. Mr Potato head gets a runaway try in the SF and we have to watch Johnny win England's one and only RWC

    Was 2003 also the scene of Gregan's iconic "4 more years" sledge?
