Richie McCaw vs Stephen Moore Fight for RWC 2015 CUP
I am a rugby fan myself and the atmosphere told it all, with the stadium full to its capacity with over 100,000 fans (World record attendance) cheering their team, that was rib cracking. That about summed up the early reads on the World Cup final, the first in the 28-year history of the tournament to pit Australia against New Zealand. While all the talk surrounded Folau's injury-hampered performance against Argentina, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika was making positive noises about his fitness, insisting the fullback's 60-minute performance against Argentina was all part of the plan.

I am sure that the Wallabies and All Blacks are undoubtedly the two best teams at the Rugby World Cup and will rightfully do battle in Sunday’s final at Twickenham. Former Wallaby Stephen Hoiles joins Sean Maloney and Sam Worthington as the Wallabies book a date with the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup final.

Hahaha what are they talking - "It's against Australia - who have often talked way better than they have played. Who have often made more impact in bars, planes and burger bars and who know how to create a molehill but slap a big sign on it that says mountain." Ouch. Well, to Foocock then, liabilities called Izzy, burgers, planes and bars. Let the games begin.
