That was such a painful read. They even pulled out the whole Beaver-penalty-not-really-going-over-in-2011 thing.
I know, right! Like we've got World Rugby and the refs in our pocket.
So that's why we win; financial and political clout.

You forgot we control the weather in Japan as well.

That's why it hurts so much more than other losses, where the opponents we lost to were actually better than us.
Yeah. Generally don't mind when we're beaten by a better team on the day - they deserve to win and be congratulated.
It's when we play like pistonwristedgibbons and lose that I want to start kicking things.

Yeah, thinking England 2012 - I was at the club and didn't take that one bad at all, we got outplayed well and truly. Plus when I said we're gonna lose a pom piped up with a bet that he'd get a silver fern tattooed next to the wallaby on his arm (from another bet). I must follow up on that...

@Snowy's house? Don't go to Snowy's house.
Shit, not inviting that fella over for a beer now. Scary stuff.

Nah, @Snowy is sweet. I've been in his basement since 2007. The food is pretty crap but the Wi-Fi is all-time.

My only fond memory of 2007 was walking back to the car thru Cardiff and seeing a drunk twat in an England shirt, taunting any Kiwi he could find, getting decked by a Saffa fan.

What do you mean? We got the hurricane in so we could have an extra weeks break in the build up to the knock out stages.
Just how far do we need to go to make some of you lot believe?

This is quality.
Side that has no knockout wins thinks NZ are mentally weak. Lads, you're 12 years too late.

I haven't read it but I thought that was supposed to be a good place for rugby journalism?

So did I . It’s Ireland based isn’t it? I guess in all the excitement they reverted to type. Tomorrow’s article will either be about the haka or poaching

Anyone have access to the IE article re AB's letting themselves down by sticking with Reece? I've just seen the back page as a screenshot.

Personally think it's a good idea overseas teams use NZ coaches.
Would get pretty boring winning every game against NH teams by 20-30 points all the time....

Its not like he left the AB setup and went directly to coach Ireland. Man's got to work.... Besides its almost time for secret agent Joe to push the self destruct button on his team

He's in Japan at the moment? If he doesn't get the ABs gig maybe secret agent Razor can go? 00 Dave Rennie is currently positioning himself to take over the dumpster fire that is Scotland
