Squad members who have lasted the duration of the seven-week tournament will each receive $100,000 from the NZRU should the Graham Henry-coached team win the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Those who have either been invalided out with injury – including Daniel Carter and Mils Muliaina – or players called up as mid-tournament replacements would share the $100,000 on a pro-rata basis based on how many games they were available for

1237725 2011-10-16 00:21:00 I would very much like the wallabies to win (for no reasons) but am not optimistic, at all, in other words, ABs will beat the OZ. bk T (215)

Memo from the IRB to all referees in 2009 : " the lifted player is dropped to the ground from a height with no regard to the player's safety. A red card should be issued for this type of tackle "

If the French win the series, they get to walk on water. ;)

Thanks for this post. If this ruling is current (and we assume so, from the Ref's action last night), then there is no argument.

If any armchair critic hasn't read lagbort's link (a Memo reputedly from the IRB on the subject), it's probably worth your doing so.

Yes they had opportunities and blew it. Didn't even try for a drop goal in the last minutes.

1237731 2011-10-16 07:42:00 I have just read that Warburton has been given a 3 week
ban for the tackle offence, so will miss the playoff for 3rd
place. All a bit over the top (no pun intended) in my opinion.
The French inability to capitalise on the depleted Welsh team,
score no tries and only win by one point surely means they
have shot their bolt. Good luck NZ against the Aussies but
may the best side on the day win the semifinal.
