JWC 2011: Final Highlights

[OFrazzle]

how old are they?

[indigojac08]

@OFrazzle Under 20s

[indigojac08]

Wade was out first try

[Talbot6832]

England should have won. Very heartening to see that our young players can in fact play with gusto and more or less wipe the floor with everyone.

[asiol685]

da first try he steped out..

[69lolololol]

im glad that NZ are good at rugby because they absolutley suck at everything else

[Goldih]

Not really supporting his own weight.. 7:16.

[somerandomer]

I'd forgotten just how well George Ford played in this game, and he's still only 18. Give it a few years and he'll be really fantastic.

[NaworForSure]

was an amazing game. Really thought England were gonna pull it off but credit to nz

[timmo491]

nz pretty lucky there.  england look pretty good.

[tebowisgay]

what age are these guys ?

[maristsp]

@tebowisgay 16



[NaworForSure]

@maristsp nope. 18 or under

[87DKing]

NZ won fair and square, get over it england and move on

[vGBLoooM]

england got robbed easy south african ref what do you expect

[philipeafroboy1]

@GuerillaGanja yeah his foot was in touch, but as an englishman i'm hardly going to complain!

[aldogigio]

assolutamente incredibili...

[Superjordrules]

In my oppinion the all balcks played good rugby, however i think the england full back let the team down making too many errors but the outcome can't just be blamed on one man

[hanros98]

Even as a new Zealand fan I have to say we were very lucky to win that

[ssrabits]

shot boys!..hope the senior guys can do the same later on in the year

[ssrabits]

damn is it just me or does the english teams get bigger every year?

[stewthefarmer]

good on you beating those poms you showed us prowd

[gideonsaunders]

Wow. Terrible reffing. England's first try was clearly out. Then Kvesic clearly does score under the posts (the kiwi rips it away but the tip of the ball clearly touches). NZ penalty against Farrell was harsh, Englander was tackled without the ball before. And the final try should never have been allowed- you can't hand off a player when you don't have the ball. England deserved more, maybe even the win.

[xXQUP4MEXx]

duhh winning!

[BaKer312213]

as a welshman, i final appreciate the england mentality of no fear

[Poutamaas]

Another Whitelock??

[nwh0cmc]

no knock at 3:57?

[TheOtherBillyWoo]

When they didn't go to the TMO for Wade's try I assumed they didn't have one!

[Cybermouse144]

Why do English players always get blue?

[a11t07e84]

@Cybermouse144 rugby smurf



[eezamcgrookes]

I thought New Zealand was only about 12 hours ahead of Europe, not 5 months. They do know it's June don't they? What's with all the tashes?

[0910dc]

@eezamcgrookes its showing support for cancer. im guessing you already knew but thats why you see alot of players like matt giteau and drew mitchell with the tash. im pretty certain anyway

[eezamcgrookes]

@0910dc yeah, you're right, but it's called 'movember', i.e. you grow a tash in November and collect money for prostate cancer research. Not sure the kiwis realised that although if they are doing it for charity anyway, good on them.

[0910dc]

@eezamcgrookes ahh i see, i didnt know it was specifcally november. mabye they just wanted to grow a tash lol

[walcote1]

Superb game of rugby, perhaps the blacks just deserved it? The ref was ok, but his interpritation of the scrummage was too inconsistant.

Many future Internationals were on " Show "

[latte123]

Although it made no difference to the result, Wade's foot definitely touched the line, and "on the line" is out. From the IRB site - "The ball is in touch when a player is carrying it and the ball carrier (or the ball) touches the touchline or the ground beyond the touchline."

[bollox05]

Bad call all round



[charmenace]

England could do worst than pick this lot for the next world cup! I wonder how many of them make full caps.

[janson84]

@charmenace very few. I would say 5 at mostwill play international rugby. Remember you have guys in previous years and next years lot who will end up playing professionally

[PBSmithy]

Too bad the AB'S have never won a senior-level world cup in the professional era!

[skandrewj62j]

Really doesn't matter if he was in or out.... 33 to 22 or 33 to 15 doesn't change the result.

[macflurry7]

what a shitty haka !!!

[rugbycressard]

motherfucker stepped on the line

[GRIMMTING]

Ford is quality

[Gibson2471]

ya so why was the try given his foot clearly brushed out of bounds

[2xrainbowatdusitmean]

str8 up nz under 20's missed out on picking some good players ayy

[madscientistify]

too bad in rugby these days, we sacrifice sizze for pace.thats why we never get the christian cullen or zinzan style of plays anymore.but nonetheless, northern rugby just utterly SUCKS!!should stick to playing cricket, or softball, or whatever it is that they do best

[ThePutner]

@madscientistify so 11 points between the southern and north rugby in JWC, means that the north sucks even though england beat SA...just saying

[dmtblack]

Anscomb is the Hero... such a cool head 4 such a young man..

nd well done Blacks... u truly r the Champions..!!

[aysd1234]

New Zealand wins every JWC by default...

[FJ67CIWA]

seriously feels like watching a 7s final, NZ and England plus the commentator who ALWAYS does the commentating at all the irb &s tournaments!

[inny6969]

Does the commentator not know the difference between Eliot Daly and Owen Farrell?

[jasonislazy]

england should have won.

[DocArsenal123]

Congrats NEw zealand its thier national sport they should be winning it!

Gareth anscombe looks a calm, cool kicker!

George ford is 18 he should be here competing in the next 2 junior world cup rugby tournaments!

Leciester tigers have got a gem in him! Toby flood watch out son! George ford is coming for u!

[Anzac1974]

Congrats NZ u20 "Baby Blacks". Four-time World Champions. Well done boys!

[meepaniya]

amazing rugby by both teams

[philipeafroboy1]

tackle off the ball by new zealand at 13:20, slowed him down, should have been a penalty try

[ThePutner]

@philipeafroboy1 deffo TMO should have spotted that

[smartcooky99]

@philipeafroboy1 Utter rubbish! You are talking milliseconds mate and seeing it in slo-mo. At full speed (the way a real referee sees it in real time) that would be considered simultaneous.

[pocococos]

@philipeafroboy1 typical englishman

[morobars16]

@philipeafroboy1 shut up man ,you a ref now prick.

[romesfinestlegion]

@philipeafroboy1 you do realise that is legal if the ball is being passed to him

[philipeafroboy1]

@romesfinestlegion but not before he actually has the ball!

[kniperr]

both the first two tries were not tries lol

[TheColdOneMinecraft]

@Alphecko no england did

[purpleturtleneil]

Illegal lift/dump tackle off-the-ball @ 15:33

England lock on All Black back

[barsKuu]

I've seen it a few times here, commentators too shy to challenge decisions made by ref. You see it all the time in higher level games, why not here?

[Binball]

@barsKuu Both are employed by the iRB for this tournament. Though it is nice not to hear commentators acting as referee assessors for once.

[ounce2314]

Congrats boiz did it again :) YEAH!!!

[bbrando81]

de santis sei il piu coglione di tutti!!!

[eionsammes]

Christian Wade's foot looked out to me in the first try!

[jasonislazy]

@eionsammes looks clearly in to me perfectly good footwork

[dmtblack]

@eionsammes: of coz he s in touch..

[macflurry7]

@eionsammes you are wrong !!! the boot itself is out OK, but he did not stamp in the line !!!

[FaTELMoXD]

@eionsammes it wont out cause the part that looked out wasnt planted on the ground :)

[BobbySaysSo]

@eionsammes It was on the line it wasn't out.

[eionsammes]

@BobbySaysSo On the line IS classes as out in rugby.

[trevzzdadevz]

@eionsammes i dont think his heel actually touched the line btw

[sirshuz]

@eionsammes it was really close but you also have to think that the NZ defender was in the line of sight from the touch judge to the foot. still close tho.

[Adalmun]

@eionsammes that's why u are not blind my freind :D

[Adalmun]

Rispondi a questo video...  refree made the nzl win....it's a fact

[HazeyDH]

Good running rugby. Both sides showing excellent skills. We'll done baby blacks.

[TheBatmanboyz]

miss miss yes

[kennyng156128]

good job!!!NZL!!

[RagingDeeman]

have new zealand ever not won this ?

[murasaki007]

@RagingDeeman They have never lost a game in the history of the tournament.

[goosoid]

@RagingDeeman No. They haven't lost a game at the JWC for about 3 tournaments. England played well though and have some good running players. Thing is they have almost no chance of getting in the England side as there is so little churn and the players stay for years. Then they choose a player from NZ or SA to replace him!

[Cyclone001315]

freeze the frame at 2:16 and you'll see he's out of play, he touched the line. Beautiful run though.

[purpleturtleneil]

@Cyclone001315 Well spotted! Its even more visible at 2:29 from the front angle
