it wouldnt be a test vs NH opposition if they didnt b!tch about the Haka or Cheating or Poaching or all 3.

@jegga I thought it was a dull piece from a guy whose ego was always more than his ability. Serious chip on his sholuder that Wasps dumped him for Brad Shields. He has a go at Super 14, but when Haskell played for the Highlanders, he was mediocre.
Sparky has been pricked by The Hask's mean words, now lashing out.

i honestly don't know where this broad reaching opinion that NZ rugby fans are precious comes from. I really don't.

That's a fairly precious thing to say.....

A remarkably limited player skills wise. Also reminded me of the saying built like Tarzan, played like Jane.

Anthony Watson getting in on the act:
"I was never too fazed by the whole mystique of the All Blacks. I respect the prolonged success they've had as a team, but the whole aura that surrounds them and the invincible stuff – I never bought into that. They are rugby players and we're rugby players. We work very hard and they work very hard. They are definitely beatable."

Buying into it - Anthony needs to phone her cousin Wh'aura! (0800 -XXXXXX)

@Rapido It's fair to say I've never liked Mr Haskell's manner on or off the field. Not a fan.
He is cashing in after his playing career with a couple of old anecdotes so good luck to him, I guess.
You think he made money from those comments?

Yeah, bench player most of the time, IIRC

You missed:
- We own the Refs
- The Duck's penalty kick in 2011 didn't actually go over
- The 1987 RWC win is invalid as Sth Africa didn't play
- All AB tries come from forward passes

- Winning at home doesn't count, so NZ have really only won one World Cup, which is invalid anyway, because of [insert one or all of the usual gripes here]
(I did actually here this the other day from some Pom, who quickly moved on the conversation when I pointed out that this must mean that the ABs actually did win in 1995 after all...)
-
@Victor-Meldrew 3 is almost right though. Doesn’t invalidate that Cup but puts a big asterisk next to it.
Edit - for me it balances out 07. Reckon both teams likely still win their Bill but it is a real pity that we never got to see the old foes meet on those two comps.
