      @jegga I thought it was a dull piece from a guy whose ego was always more than his ability. Serious chip on his sholuder that Wasps dumped him for Brad Shields. He has a go at Super 14, but when Haskell played for the Highlanders, he was mediocre.

        i honestly don't know where this broad reaching opinion that NZ rugby fans are precious comes from. I really don't.

              A remarkably limited player skills wise. Also reminded me of the saying built like Tarzan, played like Jane.

                Anthony Watson getting in on the act:

                "I was never too fazed by the whole mystique of the All Blacks. I respect the prolonged success they've had as a team, but the whole aura that surrounds them and the invincible stuff – I never bought into that. They are rugby players and we're rugby players. We work very hard and they work very hard. They are definitely beatable."

                        @Rapido It's fair to say I've never liked Mr Haskell's manner on or off the field. Not a fan.

                        He is cashing in after his playing career with a couple of old anecdotes so good luck to him, I guess.

                                        1. Winning at home doesn't count, so NZ have really only won one World Cup, which is invalid anyway, because of [insert one or all of the usual gripes here]

                                        (I did actually here this the other day from some Pom, who quickly moved on the conversation when I pointed out that this must mean that the ABs actually did win in 1995 after all...)

                                          @Victor-Meldrew 3 is almost right though. Doesn’t invalidate that Cup but puts a big asterisk next to it.

                                          Edit - for me it balances out 07. Reckon both teams likely still win their Bill but it is a real pity that we never got to see the old foes meet on those two comps.
