I couldnt hold you to that. Over here a contract requires "offer" AND "acceptance" so, not only are you "off the hook", you were never on it.
If you're ever over here, look us up.

Thanks Lynn and Ken. Wouldnt expect anything less than that level of graciousness from you blokes. Good stuff.

Makes me and the way I am coming to terms with the result seem appalling.

ad nauseum etc, etc.

Next time I over the ditch.....will do & would be honoured....and I will buy the beer.

Only one for me. The rest must be for Ken. He's a CMP man. My only CMP stuff is all to do with carriers.

The French played well, and the A B's were lucky to win. They made it by the smallest possible margin (by the skin of their teeth!)
So thats;
Two to South Africa,
Two to Australia,
Two to New Zealand and,
too bad to France.

Boy that was close ae Lynn. Just shows how unpredictable the French can be. After playing some woefull rugby throughout this tournament they then came out last night and took it to the AB's. Credit for the passion they played with but joy for the World cup winners. The nations today

Can you imagine what the country would have been like today, had they lost?
I hear the Ferns won in Perth, also by 1 point

Lynn 1 points fine by me, boy I'd take half a point if it came to it. Yes I'm sure the mood of the country would have been a tad sad this morning if that last penalty kick by the French had of gone over. We could clearly hear the fireworks and ships horns going off out here. Wonder if they would have lit the wicks if the French had won lol. Anyway its been a fantastic tournament, great atmosphere not just at the games but all over the place. I've had my Carrier at 2 events lately and have meet alot of International fans filling in time between games, all of them having a ball !

Well it's getting serious again.
Very happy to beat the French by such a margin.

I have enjoyed watching the quality play by the other teams from around the world. The game seems to be gaining in popularity. Great to watch top skills!

Watched part of a rugby match the other day, I was very impressed by the referee skills and the fact that the players accept his judgement. Something soccer players should take as an example
Believe it or not: soccer referees have been injured and killed(!) by angry players.

So the game IS growing in popularity then?

(I said this because Hanno watched some of it)

What can I say? Today is the AB's day.
The whole country is smiling.

I thought the Wallaby Captain was very honourable

I was too gutted to say anything last night. Geez I thought we were going to get it halfway through the second half.

Better team won - full marks to the All Blacks.

Very proud of our blokes

Well it pains me to say this but there's no getting around it: Congratulations All Blacks on a well deserved win.

Full credit to our blokes too: Wallabies fairytale denied in the end but they sure did Australia proud. Can't ask more than that.
