For the longer term TSFers, the above was written by the same bloke who wrote the legendary piece about how the AB's were shit before we destroyed France in 2004.
Secondly, for all the criticism that the UK rugby media (rightly) gets, when they decide to do it properly, their research is usually very strong.
Thirdly, given Walsh's usual ego-driven writings, I'm rather surprised he hasn't written more of his own opinions on the last 4 paragraphs ...

Thanks for that, I still think that was the genesis game for the modern era of dominance. I was casting around for ideas on what to watch tonight, and now you've solved the problem for me.

Stephen Jones wrote an article before the 2002 test vs England pointing out how pathetic the ab team was on paper. “ where’s McCaw, where’s Jack ?” And “ who is Ali Williams? Mr Johnson your breakfast is served “ were the stand out quotes from it .
I tried to find it after the game but it was taken down .
Where do they find these piston wristed gibbons? -
Ok I’m confused as fuck. Or just getting old.
Walsh was one of the first to write about Armstrong and Armstrong really came after him. I distinctly remember many a convo about him trashing us too, and I was sure it was that article.
Well, there you go. All the credit I’ve not built up on TSF over 14 years. Gone.

Trust me it's really great. Absolutely nothing to lose.
You can just call them "correcting fluffybunnies" and feel better about it too.

The one enduring gift Donald has given us is the phrase "fake news". Now any time someone calls me out or proves me wrong, I get to move on swiftly with no embarrassment or admission of my stupidity.

More likely to get called out for being right around here. Stick to fake news, (opinions, myths, fallacies, stereotypes are all fine too) avoid facts at all costs.
I like this, albeit yet another thread diversion:

Any sentiment I had about them winning the cup is gone. Perhaps they should own the fact that their success is predicated by the need for a ref that allows them to compete illegally for the ball at the breakdown and to constantly line up offside?![alt text]

I hope we play them in the quarters and the game is decided by a couple of dubious reffing calls .

I would probably prefer it if they lost because Sexton was red carded for a high tackle.
Actually nah, let’s just thrash them by playing rugby.

How can a team that cheats with impunity beat anyone simply playing rugby ?
