    Does it show the demographic of the Fern that there is an awful of angst towards 99/03/07, with the dominant Cantabs the easy scapegoats, and yet the 90-94 period, and the Auckland guys get away scot free these days? I feel like if this forum was around in 96 there would be a few other names getting cursed.

    Too long ago? Too faded from memory?

    For the most part they were the best players available, but the fact is we lost so someone had to bear the brunt. I remember the public were baring for Hart's blood when he failed in '99. Some of them benefited from playing in the best team. Reminds me of Mark Carter

    At least Mark Carter hit hard in defense, apparently we don’t require that from our loosies these days

        Yeah - I can recall pretty much laughing till I cried when that got posted.

        The final conclusion is a classic!

          Look, no one looks back on the Mitch era fondly, but, he did get the Bledisloe back. Higher credentialed coaches didn't do that.

          And posting 50 points away back to back in the Tri-Nations when it was actually good? The mid-part of 2003 was pretty sweet.

          He also brought in a few guys who went on to be pretty decent All Blacks.

          Biggest indictment of Deans was McGod choosing Henry over his Super rugby coach at the time

          Get over it.

          How many Super titles did he win?

          Brad Thorn and Dan Carter both said he was the best coach they played under.

          I was wondering when the red and blacks would show up. Where the hell is Canerbry these days? 🙂

              It's really good actually (jesus, if you feel like your daily dose of derp go read the comments). Sort of ties in to most of what's been said here, heaps of issues, bet/hope there is a plan.

                      I'm not sure that "mod" is the best word. Let me think about that.

                                  Cheap likes coming your way from all the usuals, pat yourself on the back mate.

                                  Does anyone actually give a shit about upvotes?

                                  Most of my comments are complete piss takes, but you Cantabs can be quite serious.

                                  I'll give you one of my precious upvotes for that post.

                                  Except yours are the cheap ones...

                                  He's only a kid - he likes everyone, like a puppy (which I have learned recently like everyone - and shoes)

                                  I have him in training to be a grumpy fucker. Just takes time.

                                    Given how much pain from failed WCs we've relived in this thread, thought I'd include our Aussie brothers as well.

                                      @no-quarter I don’t think you thought that one through. For every Aussie you piss off there are ten grinning Englishmen. 🙂

                                        Although the English rugby team is full of c*nts, I am a British citizen through my very English mother, so in theory they are my second team as much as it pains me to say it.

                                          I knew it. I knew it. Next time you're around you must pop in for a cup of tea.
