Craig Joubert to ref World Cup Final

[Tigerbeat]

"Craig Joubert of South Africa will referee the World Cup final between New Zealand and France on Sunday.
His assistant referees will be Welshman Nigel Owens and Ireland's Alain Rolland, who sent off Wales captain Sam Warburton on Saturday."


A great appointment for someone who has had a good WC

[Ze Stade Fan]

Hope he has a good match...

Especially if Mr McCaw keeps falling off his feet at the breakdown...


Ooooh the pressure is building up. I won't live till Sunday...

[Old Hob]

... and the French team is up as unchanged from the semi.

Don't be cruel, Old Hob, you don't know what it feels like to lose a final.

Or maybe you do... That Sackey try that was disallowed... Ooooh these mean, mean TMOs!

Anyway, soon we will be glad NOT to wake up early on Saturdays and Sundays ! D***ed RWC !

How I am misjudged!! I was not trying to be cruel, I was trying to be helpful, soothing; as one would a patient before a big operation. I was suggesting anaesthetic - and who knows how the operation will turn out? It might be magnifique!

Thanks for the warm, soothing feelings, then. If France win... Begorrah, I don't know what I'll be able to do! Go to church probably as they will be open that Sunday ! ALLEZ LES BLEUS

[Old Hob]

OK ZSF, but as for not knowing what it is like to lose a final!!! Have you forgotten the last Premiership final and several before that, and the world cup 2007? Tigers and England are all too familiar with losing finals recently.

I assume you mean Cueto my dear ZSF?

[Ze Stade Fan]

That was Cueto ? Oooops, sorry, got to check my files! I was at that game, mind you, with BJ and Mrs BJ on the other side of the stadium ! I supported the Rosbifs of Ingerland, just for the sake of supporting the weaker side !

What odds would you get for a treble on Tigers - Stade & France all winning this weekend?

[Ze Stade Fan]

I don't bet so I am rubbish at calculating the odds. But th eman who bets on France is bound to make a fortun eif France wins. Personnally I think that the most likely to happen is a win by Tigers (Goan, Tigers!).

Joubert is bound to be a homer. The French must know that before kick off, it's like the wind or rain, you have to get on with it.

Allez les Bleus.
