O well, I suppose I'll be supporting the Blues in the Final. Well I better get ready for work.

Feel sorry for Wales. 1 men in rugby is a killer.

Stephen Jones looks the spitting image of Gabriel Byrne.

How did Wales lose that game??? They deserved the win.

f**k sake why didn't they have a dig at the drop goal at the end?

Commentators still giving off, the guy was sent off and rightly so, had that been a Welsh, English or Scottish player been on the end of that tackle then they would have been calling red

Regardless of whether the Warburton decision was or wasn't correct, Wales had the opportunities to win that match and couldn't do it. Hook as flaky as ever.

Jones copped out in a big way. Wales nearly won it without an out half for the whole match and with 14 men for most of it.

Milltown, it wasn't a red card. Calling it as a clear red card is just being awkward and controversial for the sake of it.

We shit the nest v Wales.

Wales never had the belief to beat France.

France will never have belief to win the final

ITV or rather the anchor called the sending off for an "exuberant" tackle.

Tough on Wales, in general they played very well but kicking let them down a bit. France never looked like scoring a try and you would think the Aussies and Kiwis will feel they have the beating of them.

On the sending off, it was a tough call to make and sort of in between a red and a yellow, but refs have been told to come down heavily on this type of tackle. Warburton made no attempt to put Clerc back on the ground. Pienaar was giving the impression that because he let him go that that was OK! It was two metres from the ref and he had a really good view so I would lean slightly to the red. I've no doubt the IRB view will be that Rolland got it spot on.

Eh?? What a load of nonsense!

ITV taking a very measured approach as usual - Wales were "cheated".

The more times I see the tackle the worse it gets.
