Totally! Razor to take the All Blacks back-to-back! #RWC2027 #RWC2031 #FirstToFive

Just finished watching it. That was simply extraterrestrial from Maxwell. Without any type of real batting base, hand-and-eye just kept either finding the boundary, or nailing it into the crowd, at the end. Take a bow!

Sometimes when you let go is when you grab hold! Two pretty simple drops, plus a DRS reversal, surely still the final fumes of an Australian run chase gone bad, that is, until Maxey does the unthinkable. Won that got away for AFG. Just watching now! #AUSvAFG #CWC2023

@janshark I agree, JC. Good words. Long may we foster these ideals so they are less cloistered slogans locked away in our sporting dreams, but more truly realistically of the communicative lifestyle we positively embrace and share.

@iamjonnyking Thank you. Just love the rivalry between our teams, the respect and the friendships. Between our countries, rugby is in a good place!

@iamjonnyking so sad to have a red card in a final. If you want to be the best, you must test yourself against the best. Currently a great final. Apart from the unfortunate red...

@Faanfairlane 🙏🏻

@jasonzeeman Cannot fault the courage in the 2nd Half. As if they grew a teammate when actually down one. So close. One man’s miss is another man’s make. No doubt, Richie Mo & Jordie will ponder their efforts for many a day. Enjoy the fruits of your rugby warrior’s labours, especially on D.

@iamjonnyking A brave Captainless effort from the old foe. Fighters to the end. You boys can be proud.

A bitter bitter pill. But, the final whistle has been blown, and there is only one name on the Cup. Heart and soul from the All Blacks post the red. Still had chances. Congratulations to the Springbok nation! #NZLvRSA #RWCFinal #RWC2023

@nico_botes Said to my son at halftime the likelihood of doing it with 14 pretty extreme. Easily go Twickers-like sideways. Heart and guts just needing a little more kicking execution. The edge is that sharp at the top. Enjoy the fruits of rugby war. Until next time.

@Mud_n_Guts Special words, Morne. Always appreciated the empathy and engagement. Nothing like it in the world of rugby. Been tough watching my national team post 2019. Gratifying to see the return recently. Razor begins Nov. 1. Good times ahead.

Commiserations my friend. Loads to unpack. Always a privilege to come up against our great friends and great rivals. Be immensely proud. We will go again. In good time.

@sportbillysays Thanks for the consideration, Andrew. No doubt you take it, no matter which way it unfolds. Relentless will, especially on D. Sure you’ll enjoy the celebrations. A special period for SA rugby.

@iamjonnyking Helluva effort. Waaaay tooooo close to be comfortable. But we'll take it. Greatest rivalry lives on!

@kiwibrotha Don’t disagree. Doubt they’ll be reactionary as well. Side already locked in. You don’t want to communicate doublemindedness to your squad.

7-1. Woohoo. Now we’re cooking with the focus where it should be. Tempted by a 6-2 ABs bench. Smith gonna play 80, so D-Mack/ALB on the pine. Richie Mo can cover 9. They may say, you fooled us once at Twickers, but not twice. Wet conditions can lead either way. #NZLvRSA #RWC2023

And in all that excitement had to actually purposefully check the Bokke pivot. The Handre of Pollard, it is. Banking on the boot of old faithful. #NZLvRSA #RWCFinal #RWC2023
