  A bit OT, but I just realise that the bokke may never win another game of rugby again.

  Bare with me, I’m not suggesting they are no good (of course they are).

  If the claim that the best referrees are all South Africans, then you guys are bug gered.
  Gone are the days where you can have your own referees whistling your own games.
  Its great for everyone else though.

  whats your thoughts on that? (I’m not trying to be provocotave, its gotta be a legitimate concern?)
  BTW, I know quite a number of refferees (not at international stnd of course) but ALL of them value neutrality as one of the highest virtues. Yes, they admit to making mistakes, and anyone can have a bad game, but not a single one can agree that an international referee would deliberately end their caree and reputation by “cheating”. They may ruin their reputation by making some bad calls (al la Lawrence”, but there is a HUGE difference between missing or making a string of bad calls, and deliberately cheating. Cheating – real cheating like match fixing in cricket or throwing games, not “bending the laws” kind of stuff that all 7′s seems to do, or stupid foul play, may very well go one, but I don’t believe that goes on in ANY of the “developed” rugby nations at an international level. Too much at stake for all concerned.

  @Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-17: Slarti – I havent read all the comments here – but I will try to explain teh throat thing in its simplest way.

  If people took the time to look at Moari carvings, whenever a head is carved from wood, the symbol of the tongue sticking out is ALWAYS there, its the Maori way of expressing an extension from within and drawing life from within. Its not an all-of-a-sudden 21st century to provoke outcry, its always been this way, and the drawing of breath from the body through and out the mouth, or houra, is what we call it. Yes it is remarkably similar to a cut throat gesture – no doubt it does appear that way, and that is exacerbated by the thumb action from a clenched fist, but that movement, the thumb and hand is a representation of the act of drawing out. I agree, in that in needs to be altered if used in a sporting occasion to be adjusted to reflect global appreciation.

  Maori culture is a very intricate part of NZ society, we embrace it and enhance it to reflect our ability to include it as in integral part of modern NZ. Many other british colonies have either diluted or simply abandoned the indigenous rights of those territories they settled in. NZ maori have always fought against this, to be be included, not hidden.

  @KiaKahaNZ(KiaKahaNZ)-757:i saw a haka being done by a bunch of seemingly disinterested mostly pakeha all black players from the early 1900, it was just weird and NOT exciting.

• 760.TheTackler:
  21 Oct 2011, 02:11 am

  That throat-slitting gesture in Kapa O Pango was almost immediately dumped by the ABs — to the annoyance of the Italian-Maori choreographer (David Lardelli). It was replaced with a slicing motion from the left waist diagonally up to the right shoulder. But the ABs resident dumb brokejaw boofhead, Ali Williams, has now resuscitated the throat-slitting gesture AND re-ignited the attendant controversy.

  No other haka — some of which are over 150 years old — has any “throat slit” gesture. Kapa O Pango is only 5 years old and isn’t “traditional” by any stretch of even the most febrile imagination. It’s about as “cultural” as what a Suzuki Kizashi is to Japanese culture.

  21 Oct 2011, 02:50 am

  Late 2007 when Henry, Hansen and Smith were interviewed as to why they should remain as AllBlack coaches
  heres the argument they put forward
  Exhibit A
  They played a DVD of the second half NZ v France at Cardiff and highlighted
  14 penalisable offences all within kicking range
  that were completely ignored by Wayne Barnes
  that’s 14 kickable penaltys aka 42 possible points
  From the evidence provided the NZRFU decided that the loss at Cardiff could not be blamed on the coaching staff nor the players but was in fact a result of some questionable refereeing
  End result Henry ,Hansen and Smith retained their jobs
  So all you bloggers saying it was only 1 forward pass that Barnes missed
  Get your facts right

• 763.aliboy:
  21 Oct 2011, 03:08 am

  @spartan(spartan)-762: The French press at the time had the count at 23 unawarded penalties if I remember correctly. The similarity between what Barnes did in 2007 and Bryce L did in 2011 is scary. Both looked like rabbits in a spotlight, and both decided the result of the game.

• 765.hashi:
  21 Oct 2011, 03:37 am

  @aliboy(aliboy)-763: amen to that.
  I still don’t call either cheating though. But neither should ever be allowed to ref a RWC final

• 766.captain fantail:
  21 Oct 2011, 03:54 am

  @spartan(spartan)-762: Yes you are absolutely right and French TV also played the same segment and pointed out (on national TV) how we were done out of our chance, perhaps not purposely, but through things we had no control over. More so, was the absolute dignity and composure that Richie, the AB’s and management displayed by not making one detrimental comment………obviously we (supporters ) still feel ripped off but we will fulfill our destiny this weekend.
  Maybe Smitt could take a page from McCaws book and learn to take it on the chin.
  All these people saying the Boks would have beaten us in the finals are dreaming.
  They have been mediocre all season and the rot began in keeping ‘sick’ players home over the Tri Nations.

• 767.spartan:
  21 Oct 2011, 04:01 am

  @captain fantail(captain fantail)-766: Yes the NZRFU ,Richie and the coaching staff reacted in a manner befitting of both their status and class

  @spartan(spartan)-762:

  Show us the money. You Kiwi cheaters are just trying to justify your cheating by claiming somebody else cheated as well. No go. You cheated the Yarpies out of 2011 because you were afraid of them.

• 769.hashi:
  21 Oct 2011, 04:06 am

  Show us the evidence, that’ll show you the money. You can’t just make stuff up because you don’t like how things went.

  Look, you may be right…but you would only be right by coincidence and speculation, not because of any verifiable evidence.

  But its still bo11ocks. loser.

  Us lowlifes from NZ were so afraid of never winning a RWC again we cheated, lied and bribed our way into a RWC final. If the useless French now only will roll over and surrender like they promised when we paid them…………….

  Thats some pretty compelling evidence you have just presented there. I bow to your evident and faultless argument. In fact, your apparant IQ must be so high, what are you doing on here? You should be off designing the next LHC.

• 777.Bryce Dickhead Lawrence:

  New Zealand bribed their way into a final, they probably bribed the French already. A useless nation.

• 778.aliboy:
  21 Oct 2011, 04:20 am

  BDL – if you are a Kiwi, I can only assume that you are another immigrant version from a country where the name ‘d i c k head’ is common. You wouldn’t be allowed to legally name a child ‘dh’ in NZ, so you obviously brought the name with you.

  I can understand the Bok supporters being upset about BL’s reffing in that game, but all the abuse directed at Kiwi’s in general is really pretty childish. As for the Kiwi supporters being scared about playing the Bok’s, I can only comment that every AB supporter I know was either hoping for a Bok win, or at best neutral, because they were all more concerned about the threat from the Aussies prior to the Bok/Wallaby game. AFTER the game I would have been more concerned about the Boks because of how well they played, but that wasn’t the feeling before the game started.

  @hashi(hashi)-776:

  You speaking to me? Yes, my IQ must be be extremely high (in Kiwi terms), me being Bryce D i c k head, the ultimate Kiwi cheat. I prostituted myself to have the Kiwis win the bloody RWC! For money, I must say.

• 780.hashi:
  21 Oct 2011, 04:25 am

  Indeed, such a compelling opinion piece such as this deserves not only to forbid lawrence to the dungeons of Mordor, it should form the basis for a new written constitution for the IRB…nay, for a new One World Government! A Fair Government. A Just Government. A Government that will consign the evildoers (aka New Zealanders) to the firey pits of He11!

  Sound good?
  Trouble is, the Bokke would never have any real competition. Ag well.

  You are right of course bryce. You have done us proud. mostly because you stood up tall, faced the world and said “fck you all”, all without anything so underhand as hiding what you were doing. we kiwis don’t roll that way. up front, stick it to em. we would never do anything as purile as pretend to be what we are not. thats a trick best left to other nations.

  You are going to big here. If we can just stop ourselves, the New Zealanders (and heaven forbid, YOUR’S TRULY!), to stop cheating, we would have achieved something. The Muslims and the Communists would be easy pie after that.

  Stop? Why do that? Its a lesson we learned long ago. we have to come up with a new plan though…now that our agent, PDV is going, we will need a new insider.
  no, wait. better if we just leave the saffas to it, they will fck it up all by themselves.

  You are.

  You’ve been been waiting for 24 years, to be exact. Now I’ve cheated you into another final, at last. Now McCaw and co must not waste the money spent by the NZRU that I prostituted myself for!

• 790.hashi:
  21 Oct 2011, 04:46 am

  hey, Bryce, you’ll like this one…

  Whats good about the Springboks?

  Nothing!!

  Go one Brycie, tell us some jokes about the Bokke, I know you have plenty. And since you did such a great job of stabbing the boks in the back, I know you aint afraid of upsetting a few bokke supporters.

• 791.Bryce Dickhead Lawrence:

  @hashi(hashi)-790:

  Yes, I have a few good ones.

  Here is the gist of it:

  If the Boks do something right – penalise them!
  If the Boks do something wrong – penalise them!
  If the Boks do nothing – penalise them!

  Here is how I did it:

  thats not a joke Bryce, I know you can do better. what about some jokes about the state of the trophy cabinet? Or how about one about the passing of time? I know you have it in you bryce, you are a kiwi after all, and all we do is sh@gg sheep, plan ways to cheat, and of course tell jokes about the bokke. So go on brycie, prove you are the good kiwi you claim to be and tell us a good one.

  NO NO NO!

  Let’s stick to rugby!

  But she was quite interested in Ma’a and his lipstick. He was more interested in the ram, however. The intracasies of our Kiwi love affairs….

  Back to the Bokke. Even Bakkies won’t love our new flyhalf.

• 797.hashi:
  21 Oct 2011, 05:10 am

  C’mon brycie, you should be able to do better than that! What kind of insult is that to the Bokke? Go on…prove your loyalties to the Black Magic and really lay into’em.

  if you don’t, people will start to think you are not a real kiwi after all…more like a “kiwi” andrew merhtens, or a “kiwi” Jerry Collins

• 798.hashi:
  21 Oct 2011, 05:21 am

  No? Can’t bring yourself to do it?

  Then I guess that just confirms you as a Yellow Bellied South African Cowardly do0s who hasn’t even the guts to be themselves and backup what they say with evidence of cheating (although plenty of evidence of rubbish refereeing). To Vermin like you i say “Y o m a s a p u s”

  As soon as he said “In 2007 the All Blacks were robbed in their quarter final match by a single bad decision by Wayne Barnes” Thats where his analysis went out the window, thats where is stopped reading.Clueless
