More whining from across the Ta$man, it's bullshit like this that makes watching the all blacks treat the wallabies like the wrong side of a truckstop gloryhole all the more satisfying .

I watched Kafe and Mardo last night and couldn't stop laughing. I'm not sure if it was intentional or they were being serious about it , but I do genuinely thank them for the release of endorphins. It was more comedy gold as they littered off the "string of incidents" like they were opposition politicians getting stuck into a government.
I hope we see more and more of it, because that will mean we are still winning and Australia be the worst I have ever seen...

@ACT-Crusader Martins head injuries have made him a barely functioning moron so I have pretty low expectations that anything that comes out of his mouth will be worth listening to but it's sad seeing Kafer go all Kearns like this.

@jegga Martin and Kafer are jokes. If they actually channeled their energy into a hard look at Australian systems, set ups, costs etc, and actually took on board constructive criticism instead of kneejerk hate towards people like Sir Ted, they might actually get somewhere.
Claims of cheating and/or arrogance will always be directed at winning teams. And the All Blacks have been at the top of the tree for so long, other countries can't help themselves. But do the NZRU give a shit? Nope. They just keep doing their thing, learning, developing, trying and discarding ideas. That is why they are number one. That is why they won back to back World Cups. That is why they win home and away. That is why they are the best rugby team on the planet.
-
@Mokey I think they will get stuck in when the time is right, but at this point in the season they are more entertainers trying to get some ratings rather than trying to provide a hard hitting show. I don't take these guys too seriously with anything they say really. Kafer, when he analyses the play is pretty good. But I agree with jegga that he has felt the need to be more than that.
The barbs and digs at NZ is something that they think will feed this ever perpetuating wheel of claim - counter claim - reaction - outrage - have to watch what they say next week so I can react - etc

17 this weekend and 18 v Aussie in the third bled and then is it Ireland in Chicago? That's 19. Who else do we play on EOYT? Italy? (20) and then Ireland again to take us to 21 for this year.
What's the record for normal rugby countries?
17 for Tier 1, 22 or so for all Internationals.

Can't find the old thread to recycle that but having gone unbeaten since Sydney last year the ABs now have 11 wins on the trot and it's time to start thinking about whether they can threaten the Tier 1 record of 17, set by the Fred Allen era ABs, later equalled by the Nick Mallett Boks and the 2014 ABs.
Or dare we imagine? Perhaps knocking the mighty Mofflons from top position with their 24 in a row.
As always it would depend on going through a Tri Nations ... errr Rugby Championship ... undefeated. No mean feat even given Transformation and Wallaby result v England.
If, and it remains a big If, they keep winning then the third Bledisloe in Auckland becomes D-day for No.18.
If my maths is right 25 to take the outright record would necessitate a Lions series winning second test effort ...
To those who think posting this kind of thread jinxes the possibility please get a grip on reality and fuck off with your superstitious bullshit
By the way ... Soon to be Number One in the World England are only two behind us on 9 in a row ...@mimic said in 16 in a row ...:
Our next hit out will be in Sydney.. Australia has a habit of ruining our records..
and Game 17 will be in the republic..
Ā
Game 25 will be the 3rd lions test.. so we would need to blackwash the lions.. -

I can't find the current stats on the Raeburn shield site to where we are at now with it . Anyone know?
I'm guessing the bit on http://www.raeburnshield.com that says
CURRENT HOLDERS
NEW ZEALANDmight be a giveaway ...

If this potential record is differentiating tier 1 from the rest. Why will it include wins v Georgia, Tonga, Namibia.
A claytons record.
More impressed with Cyprus.
Even more impressed with the 67-69 streak (albeit Bokless), and the Saffas 1990s streak (with the risk of not investigating who they beat)
