    Nothing quite like going to a match when their on the top of their game.
    I took my eldest, when he was 4 to see South Africa & watching Brian Habana run 60m down the line to score in the corner right in front of us at Westpac is a memory of his for life. He often reminds me of it when we're knocking around at the part or watching sport on TV.

    Cheikmate!
    The humility shown by the New Zealand team in victory should be a lesson to all.
    Four more years to ponder for Micheal Cheika & learn from his Captain Moore that it's actions, not hollow words after matches, which win or lose, are the true measure of a man.
    I hear that the beer, was best served cold.

    Congratulations to England & Wales for hosting a magnificent tournament.

    Here's to Japan in 2019, whom showed that it's still possible to dare to dream with their win over South Africa.

    Ps. A couple of friends went to St James's Park to NZ V Tonga & commented on the wonderful hospitality shown by the people of Newcastle so well done.

    Gutted to lose, but nothing but respect to the kiwis. The game is nothing without good rivalry, and there is no hatred between countries. Although I never knew how many kiwi mates I've got until I check fb this morning haha, bastards. Great send off for the retiring 6 AB 's, legends.

    Now we just need to win a ****in bledisloe again!

    No doubt in my mind that the best two teams got to the final and the best team won the Webb Ellis Trophy..Well done to The All Blacks.
