Christ mate - how many opportunities do I have to give you to gracefully bail out of the conversation?
I certainly haven't learned anything from you from this discussion - the points made seem to be pretty fucking obvious. You can either believe that the Tier 1 record is the real record or the international teams record is the real record.
I don't think anyone is under any illusion as to what the respective records mean.
So..why the fuck are you still attacking me?
Frankly, I'm not really interested in pissing contests - if people want to have good-natured discussions with me about footy than I'm ready to engage, but I can't be bothered with this stuff.
If you can't be bothered then why in Buddas' name waste time with the Hayden-Interviewer thing?
Anyway, I don't think the actual real proper record will be broken tonight. I'm feeling a draw or loss. Hope I'm wrong.

Looking ahead, if the ABs won all matches on EOYT (including the Australian banana skin match), the streak would be 22.The Lions must play the following teams in the two weeks before the first test: Blues, Crusaders, Highlanders, Maori ABs, and Chiefs. Plus the Hurricanes after the first test. That should soften them up. So, assuming ABs won all three, the streak would be 25.
Then the 2017 Rugby Championshp will all be matches in NZ. Aus, Arg, and SA. 28.
How long can this thing go? 17? 20?21 and lose to France?
EDIT: @taniwharugby .....LOL, well you're right, and only then is Hansen allowed to retired!.... but let's not get carried away.

I blame booboo.....

What is it with this thread and pendants?
Never been happier to be wrong about the result of a game. Still reckon we'll get beaten once this year. Just hope it isn't against farking Ireland.

Highly unlikely.
After yesterday's spanking, I've revised my scoring margin further.
If Ireland can keep the losing margin to less than 40, I'm regarding it as a win.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Sorry RS - I was supposed to be doing work on Saturday afternoon, not fucking around on the Fern.

That's a conundrum - which would I prefer:- Wallabies beat All Blacks at Eden Park for first time in decades
- Ireland beat All Blacks for the first time ever
???

Without any hesitation, I would take the Wallabies beating us at Eden park. At least it isn't something that hasn't happened before
-
I would have a huge problem losing to the Aussies given the way they are playing and how we are playing and the fact it's at Eden Park. The Eden Park fortress means more than not losing Ireland ever.
At least against Ireland we could blame being out on the Chicago nightlife. There is of course the Aaron Smith excuse....

I'm probably jinxing it but I don't see us losing this year.
22 wins on the trot. Lock it in.
Winning the rest of this years tests is the easy part. Figuring out which "real" records they break isn't so easy....
-
Why are the All Blacks so dominant? We travelled to New Zealand to find out
We launch a major multi-media series as Murray Kinsella journeys to the heart of a national obsession.

What's going on?
Go away for a week and nobody is updating thread titles?
We're coming for you Cyprus!

Cyprus hold the record. End of. Lithuania in second IIRC.

@Rancid-Schnitzel said in 16 in a row ...:
In this case it's like comparing the innings batting record in test cricket with the 1,000 odd runs scored by that school kid in India. A distinction has to be made between the elite level and a level that is, quite frankly, a complete joke.
maybe we need to go back to defining what is a "test match" as opposed to an international?
Should the ABs win next week it will be a far more legit record than Cyprus or Lithuania.
The "caveat" is Tier 1: read that as "Test matches".

@Pot-Hale
Well, I guess we should just put that whole thing to bed.
Just 3 wins next year, and the whole "Tier 1" distinction is irrelevant, yeah?
Kinda like us only ever having won the World Cup at home... this team sweeping all that bullshit aside, making things simple.That you only can win world cups at home thing pissed me off more than the choking tag before it , because it was stupid
I mean if you look at away from home test wins , no one comes close to the ABs ,
I was wondering what was going to be next ........ we can only win world cups on saturdays
Pretty sure 2011 was a Sunday (can't be bothered checking) because was Labour Day holiday on the Monday.
If that was the case then "can only win World Cups on Weekends" works.
