    no it's not. it's for winning. a lot.

    There are plenty of sporting sides that have won more titles like the Aussie League team or the Aussie Cricket team or the New England Patriots under Brady.

    The All Blacks used to win but they weren’t at all cocky about it.

    Jeff Wilson has done huge damage to the NZ Rugby brand. He should leave the arrogant shit and disrespecting opponents to the guys like Phil Kearns.

    Wilson was when he scored tries. He carried on like a real pillock compared to Jonah and Cully both of whom were generally satisfied with a slight raise of the eyebrow when they scored ( usually better tries than he did )

      Who cares if they’re ‘loved’ or not. Do you think the Australian cricket team are ‘loved’? The point is to win. Fairly, honourably, in good spirit. But to win.

      Ideally you want to be loved and feared. But if you have to choose one, it’s better to be feared.

          @sparky from SA's Keohane, am sure, like Goldie, he speaks for the current boks and thier fans.

          The Springboks will hammer France in the World Cup final to retain their status as world champions, writes MARK KEOHANE.

          The defending world champions completed their preparations for the World Cup with a record-breaking 35-7 victory over New Zealand at a sold-out Twickenham.

          It was the All Blacks’ biggest-ever loss and came just a few weeks after Ian Foster’s side battled to beat Eddie Jones’ struggling Wallabies by two points in the second Bledisloe Cup Test.

          Meanwhile, England suffered a first-ever defeat to Fiji at home, Ireland were pushed to the limit in a narrow win against Samoa, and France produced a second-half show after a sluggish first half to comfortably beat Australia.

          Making his World Cup predictions on his blog Keo.co.za in the wake of the warm-up matches, Keohane wrote on that South Africa and France will contest the final, with the Boks coming out on top to retain the Webb Ellis Cup.

          “Realistically, there are four teams who will compete to win this World Cup: Ireland, France, South Africa and New Zealand. Outside of the Boks, I don’t see anyone stopping France.

          “I thought, maybe the All Blacks but the Boks, at Twickenham, provided the necessary evidence that the All Blacks get 10 points in every match on historical – and deserved – hype but the current imposters give up 15 points by way of introduction.

          “Such is the acceptance of New Zealanders, they actually found positives in their worst loss in history. How is that the mindset of champions? It is one of knowing your team is going nowhere.

          “Ireland, after the Boks have dealt with them in the Group stages, will be dealt with by France. Which leaves just the hosts and the defending champions to contest the final.

          “My winner and score, which must be revisited on 28 October, is for the Boks to complete the most amazing World Cup double and win successive World Cup finals with 20-point differentials.”

            I gotta agree with this bit, positives from a spanking in the sign of a bullshit team

                    On this topic, what is the Aussie show doing still persisting with SBW? I watched Matt Roger’s on the Aussie at home WC show and I was actually stunned at how good he was, probably the best I’ve seen on one of these types of shows, outstanding analysis.

                      @Stag I reckon SBW is a good one to have for interviews (with a producer in his ear) as players will open up to him, but commentary or punditry not really his bag.

                        Absolute comedy in the latest edition of The Breakdown.

                        A discussion about whether Antonie Dupont is the Greatest Of All Time (one many experts of the game are having) turned into a discussion about whether Richie Mo'unga is the Greatest of All Time. 🤦‍♂️

                                  That wasn’t Wilson was it? Richie Mo I’d arguably the most successful (not greatest) Super player of all time but international footy, hell no.

                                  I still argue that Sam Whitelock was more influential to the Saders than Mo’unga.

                                      Mo'unga is the third best Crusaders ten of all time, that's about it.

                                        Bump.

                                        I see that Sky and JK have parted ways. It could be a good thing.

                                          Kirwan seems like a nice guy. Punditry and commentary did not suit him.
