More likely he was consistently outsmarted by opposing coaches and just couldn't handle the Test level.Up there I reckon...
it’s a shame as he’s a decent rugby coach. Had success in Super Rugby and also over in Europe so obviously has experience coaching and succeeding in both styles.
Unfortunately for him he’s been coaching year in and year out against one of the most dominant teams in Rugby on probably one of the most dominant runs in Rugby history.
only safas to fly the flag for the southern hemisphere teams,
I can't see England playing any better than yesterday so one has to question if they played the final a week early.
I think the safas will take it out.
No respect for Wales?
Ahhhhh, the sweet relief of knowing that the sport will continue to grow now that New Zealand can't win a third world cup in a row.
The first 7 games of the Rugby World Cup have resulted in a total of 309, 888 in attendance, with a high of 63,731 for Ireland vs Scotland and an attendance low of 20,354 for Italy vs Namibia.
Comparatively the Rugby League World Cup had a total attendance over the first 7 games of 84,408, with a high of 22,724 for Australia vs England and a low of 5,103 for Fiji vs the USA.
Also worth noting total attendance for the League World Cup was 750, 700. A number that will be dwarfed by the end of this week judging by crowd and stadium averages for the Rugby World Cup so far. So much for the "inferior code".
Those French refs are embarrassing
The end of the Lions tour here was the worst decision ever. The penalty today was a joke too
