    This is such a huge event. Probably the biggest game of sport New Zealand has ever had. If it was the final it would be for sure. Effectively it is.

    If its a great game it will go down in history for sure.

    What makes this world cup more special than any other world cup?

    A) We haven't won it for so long

    B) It's at home

    I think it's fair to say it's right up there as the biggest game ever tbh. The importance and desperation to win a WC magnifies after every failure
     
  5. Skippos SM Morgan

    Honestly reckon Cruden will rip it up.
     
  6. Athlai JJD Heads

    What about the inaugural world cup? Surely that was important. The 95 world cup final was also a significant moment in the history of the world let alone world rugby.
     
  7. Fiery GR Smith

    Yeah I was thinking that about the '95 WC but the inaugural WC was a walk in the park really. Doubt there was as much apprehension from NZ fans before either tbh

    Reckon we'll probably feel even more jitters in the final tbph.

    If we lose to Australia we lose to that team thats left in the tournament that we can honestly say might deserve it on their day. IMO if we lost to Australia it wouldn't be a proper choke.

    Wales or France in the final on the other hand? Particularly France? If we lost that half the country would suicide.

    I will suicide if we lose to Aus tbh

    qft in case you do
     
  11. Mike ML Martyn

    I was laughed at by the Australians when i said that but we are an entirely different team without Carter.
     
  12. Fiery GR Smith

    Lucky it's not going to happen ;)
     
  13. Gazza GJ Weaver

    France at $2.15 to beat Wales. Good value imo
     
  14. Phlegm SP Phlegm

    What are Wales paying? I was hoping they'd be big outsiders.
     
  15. Gazza GJ Weaver

    $1.70 I think.

    Had a dream last night that the All Blacks put 50 on us! Laughable
     
  17. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Sooo nervous about this game.
     
  18. Mike ML Martyn

    I honestly can't pick a side in this game. If France turn up you never know but Wales have been awesome so far.

    Wales AB final I think. Actually going to watch the Wales game, cause i'm at my Uncle's. Unfortunately, i've not gone to bed yet, so i'm going to be so tired!

    Carn Wales! will be tough without Priestland though
