As for the final, this fucking ref. That's about all I can say. Feels like I'm watching basketball. Great match, and the officials are doing everything they can to be a big part of it.
So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.
Friendship is better than fighting, but fighting is more useful.

And there's their fucking try! Wrote all that about the ref after they'd taken one away on a ticky-tack penalty.
Brutal call there, and yet the All Blacks really put up a fight with just 14. Great final otherwise marred by that red card.
