        @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.

          You missed:

          1. We own the Refs
          2. The Duck's penalty kick in 2011 didn't actually go over
          3. The 1987 RWC win is invalid as Sth Africa didn't play
          4. All AB tries come from forward passes

            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. Doesnโ€™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.

                  Needs the appropriate facepalm caption really.

                  โ€œ Because our country was deservedly an international pariah your rwc win has an asterisk next to itโ€ ffs .

                    If we beat the Boks twice this time do we get credited two Bills?

                      Can't help you there... but question is, if the Boks and AB's play the final, and the Boks win, should we not have a tie-breaker match given the AB's have already beaten the Boks once at the RWC ๐Ÿ™‚

                            Actually our last world cup final (cricket) tie breaker didn't end well...best to avoid them.

                                    How are we feeling about the aura now? Given they way we were dispatched, I would be making a claim AIG for severe dent, but not right off

                                    If Hansen loses to Wales then that takes it to another low level for me to be honest.
