All Blacks LOSE

[scrivy]

Well yeah but, they would have burned off all their energy if they got hold of slappers.......

[inlinefour]

I allways thought that rugby is a sport when one team wins and one team lost. Since the game became professional, the ABs' ability to play effectively might have decreased, but the ability for the loosing team's supporters to be a bad sport, has increased...

There are all sorts of biaching on the news for people to be sacked, IRD is arguing amongst themselves and everyone needs someone to be the scapegoat? FFS, its a game and now I want to watch it even less. Keep the team and the coach and sack the rest, I've had a gutsfull of the fall out after the RWC, its not a bloody kindergarten, its a sport. ABs' played and lost, big deal, get over it and HTFU!!!

Agreed but also reckon that a fair percentage of the New Zealand public should be "sacked" too.
Shallow,fickle,small minded gimps!
They've won something like 42 out of the last 48 games...awesome!
They lost a game...and what?!

I wonder how many of them have ever played a game in their life? From my experience it was a stupid idea to ever think that you had a game won, until the final whistle was blown. I was also told as a kid that its not about winning or loosing that counts, but enjoying playing the game. I think the same applies to watching the game and it would appear that there are plenty of "so called" supporters that we could really do without. It would appear that the AB management might fit into the same catergory as they often are doing shit that the ABs could do without. Looking back on it all, its no surprise they lost. Hopefully all the moaners will be just as shallow.fickle and small minded and go and support another team now.

Was in Palmy when the all blacks played the lions,couple of irish guys having a beer and playing pokies with us,after the game we talked about all things as you do,my comment was diehard and normal nz fans are bad winners,soon after a couple of pissed uni guys shouted to these guys you lost useless fuckin poms,when told by the guys yeah but were irish,same crap returned,one of the guys even had half red and half black shirt,he had nz mum and irish dad.

Mark Ellis was on the rock this morning bemoaning the fact the team doesn't know how to have fun since pro era,hence the must win everytime,hell it's good to loose,as seen this year.

What does annoy is the ab are consistantly in top 3 of world teams but haven't won the cup twice,similar to say Germany,Holland,Argentina in soccer,all these teams are top of the heap but rarely win every world cup.

I thought I'd be more upset about the AB's losing (as an ardent fan) but I'm not. I guess it's because there ARE more important things than sport. If there was as much concern about child abuse or spousal abuse then those things would be a thing of the past...

Get over it, it is a game. Don't try and find excuses, lets be good sports and congratulate the French!

Look on the bright side. Their record for winning RWC finals at home is 100%.
Away games...

TEN TRAGIC YEARS

A Politically Incorrect Story

In these dark days of rugby despair, does anyone remember 1997?

In 1997 the All Black captain was Sean Fitzpatrick, the team was pretty much the same for every match, and it had names like Christian, Zinzan, Josh and Jonah in it.

In 1997 the All Blacks were undefeated. That’s right, undefeated.

They played the Aussies, the Springboks, the English, the Welsh, the Irish and a few more and never lost a match.

Then something changed in New Zealand.

On the 6th of December 1997 Jenny Shipley ousted Jim Bolger and became our first woman Prime Minister.

The next day the All Blacks managed a lucky draw with England.

The next year the previously undefeated All Blacks lost every Tri Nations match. That’s right, every match.

New Zealand has had a woman Prime Minister ever since.

And ever since, when it counted, the rugby has been pretty much downhill as well.

The mentors and role models in our primary schools are now ninety percent women.

Our children are taught that all accidents are preventable, all risk should be avoided, losing is OK and aggression is a crime.

Now some people might think there was some connection between the feminisation of our society and the decline in our rugby.

I couldn’t possibly comment on that.



All I know for sure is




Fitzy never cried.



He never had to.

[oldrider]

Think about it and those two women will be revealed as the most aggressive, bolshy, opinionated, poisonous bitches you could ever wish to meet!

Both have held the same philosophy:

Do as I say not as I do, mediocrity for the people and above all, "keep me in power!".

Leadership, New Zealand style. ............... John.

Article in Waikato Times today was explaining how the defense coach for the French rugby team (the frogs made a huge 170+ tackles in the defeat of NZ) was employed by the All Blacks for 2 weeks as a consultant in 2005 to give us inside info (he is a Pom) on the touring Lions attacking play. This guy then went to work for France Go that All Black management team.

Millions spent on everything they could think of to win the cup and they forgot about this one, in the bid to beat the "who gives a fuck" Lions . Classic
