Heading out back to burn off some of the frustration. I've been up 5 and a half hours already and I'm sorry I didn't just have a lie on. :evil: I don't even feel like exercising now, but it's too early to get drunk!

Wallabies really stole that one. Pocock was amazing. What a great game anyway.

Very good game - disappointed but not surprised when PDV(the idiot) started once again without Bismarck and Hougaard!!!!!

The 4 best sides on the day went through. (Well, Australia deserved it anyway).
At this stage I can only see Wales having any chance agains the All Blacks, so good luck to em if they get past the semi.
I don't see good Aussie defence winning another game, and Wales have more flair than France. They are the form team.

Allblacks vs. France in the final. Go Blacks! They already won 37-17 against the French in the pool stage so the whole thing seems a little anti-climactic but France seem to be pulling wins out of nowhere so I guess you never know...

Congratulations to the All Blacks. That was nerve wracking!

Phew I am glad thats over...France definitely turned up to play on Sunday and made a great final, ABs were disciplined under fire and used up nearlt their reserves, the French were unlucky not to win,....New Zealand is buzzing, great competition.

Not the World Cup, but great to see Connacht pick up their first win in the European Cup. :mrgreen:

Huge shock really, especially as Gloucester beat Toulouse to help Harlequins.
What team did Quins put out?

I think it was pretty much a full strength team. Conor O'Shea would be too familiar with Connacht to underestimate them.
