Your World Cup Highlight/s

[DB]

What was your World Cup highlight?

Mine would have to be the Fijians prayer before the matches. It was one of the most emotional things I've seen on a footy field before.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

NZ Anthem and Haka in the final. That and Slaters f**k up

Uate's length of the field try against France.
I've seen him do it a dozen times in the lower grades, but having the whole country see what he can do was pretty special for a long time Uate fan (although he did it in the 2006 JF grandfinal on national TV too).
May we all see it many, many more times.

The first tackle of the game where 6 PNG players dog piled in.
Stanley Gene - Everything.
Fiji's progress and pay off for years of work
Seeing Billy Slater f**k up.
The really cool people i met from all over the place
Getting on the cans all the way to penrith and back for the samoa/tonga game
Witnessing peoples attitudes towards international rugby league shift.
the excitement and prospect of an international calendar set in stone.

The highlight for me was the overall success of the tournament and the great early pool games, rounded off by an awesome finish showing the world RL is NEVER a certainty, and the cup was exciting all the way to the close. Congrats Kiwis.

Individual highlights, Hayne smacking Locky, and Lockys last try in the final, getting the ball in hand 3 times in one move and flowing and tracking to be available to score. A coaches perfect support play example, if ever i saw one.

Also Slater cocking up, and Williams getting trashed into the sidelines. Hilarious.

Lowlights. England dropping the ball and playing like morons, excepting first try against NZ.
