Final match thread. The 2023 Rugby World Cup Final. 9pm @ The Stade de France

Head: NZ by a try

Heart: RSA by a try after holding the lead the entire second half

Arse: RSA bench collapses and we see a scoreline more reminiscent of NZ v USA.

Super Arse: RSA down at the half. Matt Damon shows up in their locker room to give the inspirational rallying speech. RSA wins 15-12 in overtime. Matt Damon tweets that racism has been cured and then gets cancelled for the next month until everyone forgets and moves on.

Rugby ATL has been bought and will relocate

The Free Jacks podcast had an episode interviewing the owner of the Free Jacks a while ago. He was involved with the investment group that took over ATL in the interim. Obviously he's going to tell a good story and spin a specific narrative, but he seemed pretty clear he was in it only temporarily to try to keep ATL from folding and that they were out as soon as they found the right owner. He talked about not wanting to own two teams, that he didn't think it was good for the league (ahem, small shade thrown at Gilchrist there).
