14 in a row!

Provincial Stalwart

This year's slam was "easier" for England because while they only had two home games out of five, the home games were against their chief rivals Wales and Ireland. Every other year the schedule reverses, so in 2017 they play in Cardiff and Dublin. Makes for a much more deserved slam if they do it.
 
Great series win over Aussie though. It was the ultimate no-win situation for an ABs fan, but I got myself up to support England. That, plus I enjoy seeing teams who play dumb rugby getting beaten. The main positive was that the loser got swept and gets a pounding from the fans and media. Cheika's press conference face looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

you twat Booboo, now you've gone and done it. Here's what will happen because of you starting this thread: We'll lose at least once this RC, and England will continue on their merry roll and do what we've been unable to do, get past 17. 
When that happens I will remind you of this ill advised thread.

"Remind"?
 
I'll remind him, by pitchforking him onto the pyre that Hooroo is building for Cato.
 
An obvious attempt at witchcraft.
 
Quite clearly if we get to or past the magic number, booboo (or should we say beelzebooboo?) is a witch - and if we don't he's obviously a witch, as well.

correct, and if they both burn like normal humans, we will be big enough to admit we were wrong and they weren't witches after all!

He plants two separate crops in the same field. Probably.

England will lose to one SH team and one NH team in that 'run'
 
You heard it here first.

Catogrande

I'd almost be happy with that Mike and 6 months ago I'd have bitten your hand off for it.

Cookie

I'm invoking the ancient law of crossing my fingers behind my back as I type, so I cannot tempt fate, but the final Eng / Ire game already looks like a grand slam decider to me. 
Right I can stop typing one handed now. 
When the hell are NZ / Eng finally scheduled to play? Must admit its very kind of you guys to give us at least a year to get up to speed

gollum

Englands 18th will be Scotland. The current sequence started v Uraguay... so Ireland would be no. 19.

Catogrande

Hmm. I'd forgotten about Uruguay. Ten in a row sounds much nicer. And with four against SH nations too.

jegga

We last lost a home game in 2009 didn't we? How many wins is that at home?

Apologies. I didn't check. I've just heard it quoted and requoted that they were 9 in a row to date.

There was a graphic in the All Blacks v Wales Test #3 thread. But for the loss vs SA in 2009 the home winning streak would be 71.
 
To my disappointment that loss in Hamilton is the only time I've seen the ABs lose live in 40+ tests, and it's in my home city. :mad1:

We lost to France at the Brooke that year too. So not correct.

Bovidae

Ah, yes. The test Messam scored a try in and then got dropped after.

Having said that 2009 was a forgettable year on the whole ...

Me too Was a night we didn't deserve to leave, but Francois Steyn kicked two penalties from 60 m. Sixty metres! Insane distance ... we just never got our shit together that night.
 
 
Edit: as I can't speak english today, to clarify: I was there too, but have seen the ABs lose before. Wobbles in Chch 1998, a frustrating display. And we didn't deserve to win in the Tron, just didn't play well.

booboo

Love Mr Lassen :) 
Did you know we've only lost 37 times at home in 112 years? 
Edit: sorry about the formatting
