Australia gooooooooone! All Blacks follow

Bugger cobber! My deepest, heartfelt sympathies to all my Australian friends this morning after they were knocked out of the RWC by Mother England.

More on this, and the All Blacks, later today. I was hoping to be able to gloat about a famous New Zealand victory, but someone forgot to tell the French that this was the unwinnable match

Oh, and by the way "Four more years George"!!! And Richie, and Dan and..........

Some things don't change however - Kill the Bill! And was it a coincidence that we lost the match that Helen Clark turned up to?

Update - Sunday night: I'm still a little in shock from this morning's events, so some reasoned analysis will have to wait until tomorrow. To France the spoils, to the All Blacks, the "consolation prize" of a longer-than-expected summer holiday! I guess if you take all the teams on our side of the draw, the French are the ones who I least dislike losing to. I just hope that for all our sakes, they can repeat the dose against the English next week - at least the All Blacks scored tries!

Nope, no fucking coincidence at all.

I was working @ the time so was listening to the match on the radio. I was left in disbelief.
Oh well, next time.

Everyone hassles England - which is exactly why I support them. Go England.

The Aussie media stated England were the worst World Champion team ever. Well I bet they're eating their words now!

It seems my beloved teams have to lose with two point of difference, this time...First Italy, then All Blacks...
I'm so sorry that AB are off the championship: France has played well, and put her heart on the match, but I did believe that you would have managed to bring the game and the cup home.

Sad to see Carter eyes and Masoe tears, at the and of the match...
Aoteroa rules, anyway, in my heart.
