    BEST.RWC.EVER - just so good. ABs actually kept real powder dry versus minnows (ie the no-kicking test), played champagne rugby even into the finals, and ground it out with good old-fashioned smarts and drop goals when required.

    I still think Bernard Foley's game against England was as good as Dan's against the Lions. He did everything, and tore England to pieces. He was never going to be able to reach that height again, he's not that level of player. But that day against England he was incredible.

    if you ignore the fact this kid got away with running on the field, this is pretty cool, and together they have started a rugby charity too.

    i watched the highlights of that final again, and i had forgotten how close they got before Dan, who was on a one-man mission, just decided to go win the game. BB's final score makes it look a lot more comfortable than it got when Benny got himself carded.

    @mariner4life we were doing it comfortably until Ben decided to have a rest and make a game of it.

    We were doing it comfortably u til Nige inexplicably decided not to award us a penalty when we destroyed the aussies scrum and instead Kirtley got an intercept which then. Got the ball downfield and led to the YC

    Yeah I was never worried, same as semi 2011. Scores might have got close but Ozzie were never going to win
