What was the average winning margin over the course of the tournament? You could nearly count on one hand the number of games decided by the odd try or less
Thank fuck the games were on early. I missed all of it. It can fuck right off for another four years
Everybody knew there was going to be plenty turkey shoots but overall the tournament was very enjoyable

There was 5 competitive games out of maybe 40 games played or whatever it was 
If only Ireland had beaten Japan they could have said they were beaten by the eventual winners.

A terrific tournament. Englandâs semi final win last week looks like the type of ambush upset result you can get in a knock out tournament. South Africa and New Zealand have been the best two teams in the world for a while now and thatâs still the case.

Wasnât as enjoyable as the 2015 edition overall. The minnow games in that one were more enjoyable and they were on at better times of the day too.
Been a few fairly one-sided games in the knockout stages too.
Quite reminiscent of Galway beating Kilkenny in an All-Ireland hurling semi-final and then being soundly beaten by Cork or Tipperary in the final
How the fuck were New Zealand the story of the quarters

Or Meath beating Kerry in 2001 football semi final or New Zealand beating England in 1995 World Cup semi final.
The near perfect semi final performance in any sport is nearly always a guarantee youâll lose the final.
What is it with the Home Nations and sheer arrogance?
Some feat for Saff Efreeeekaaah to win the rubby world cup when the sport is a niche sport in the country and lies miles behind association football in popularity.
