boys were not strong enough for all blacks, Habana was magnificent ... but they couldn't pass the ball to our Staffy, Pietersen , boys are gone and such a easy Final for All Blacks
to be honest, NZ has been the best rugby team in the world for quite some time now. However if the australians manage to beat argentina, we might at least have a game in the final otherwise, they could aswell just hand over the cup to NZ already
ANALYSIS: can #NZL prove that age is nothing but a number in #RWCFinal?
Hansen clearly regards this older age profile as an advantage as he confirmed after last weekend's 20-18 win against South Africa: "When you’ve got the experience we’ve got, and a lot of people have made noises about guys being too old, but they’re in good form and if they’ve been around a long time, they bring a lot of experience. You get a lot of inner self-belief from that.”
If the All Blacks beat Australia on Saturday, they will be the oldest team ever to win the Rugby World Cup, more than six months per man older than England in 2003. If the Wallabies emerge victorious, they will be the second oldest World Cup winners behind the team they lost to 12 years ago. A certain level of experience is key to winning World Cups, with no professional era winner aged under 27 years and 102 days old on average. England, Scotland and Wales all played this time around with teams younger than that, at a time when older sides are more successful. The All Blacks though will take that to a new level if they lift the trophy as the oldest and most experienced team to achieve such success.
PS. and Bokke could not beat this old farts.... oops because our youngsters were on the Bench ....bloody Meyer
