Rugby World Cup

I thought McCaw was the business through the tournament. I made a point of trying to see what it was he did to make him the hero that he is. It's incredible that he is in there interrupting quick ball every time playing the laws of the game the offside rule and the referee to the limit. For me he was the top number 7.

You know there are instructions set down by the IRB as to how teams are allowed to oppose the haka. Well France broke the rules on Sunday. They were fined ?10k. Very unfair. Besides it's not like they were that close to the AB's.

Utterly ridiculous by the IRB.

If NZ are allowed to do their silly war dance before a game (and I think given it's history that's ok) then I think teams should be able to respond how they want and there is no better way of accepting a challenge than by laying one down. Just like France did, Wales did in 2008 and Ireland in Alan's clip.

Or just ignore it like David Campese and then win the game for your team.

Ridiculous. Shelford loved it when the opposition faced up to them. The irb are arses.
