The Team Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken just adds weight to the scariness factor.
Amuses me too. If you can't even say the name how on earth are you going to compete on the field?
It's like having a tennis match against Federer and calling him "that Swiss bloke".

A Swiss tennis player. Not noteworthy.

I would have thought that they would talk it up.
"Right, we are playing the All Blacks, the most succesful team in rugby history. We have to be absolutely perfect this week. No mistakes. Maximum effort from every single one of you. Win this and you all become legends".
That sort of thing.

This "All Blacks" versus "New Zealand" thing is becoming a bit silly TBH - you're starting to sound like QLDers putting themselves before Australia

You started it. Was it Eddie that was too afraid to say All Blacks?
As I said, quite amusing, and I don't think that it really bothers any of us. We've still got the same team.

Wasn't it that stupid fat fuck Scott Johnson?

@mariner4life I remember that Clive (of the all conquering 2005 Lions fame) mentioned it first.
A Lions "fly on the wall" doco revealed that Clive and Alistair Campbell sent all the Lions off season preparation packs and included was a directive that they use New Zealand instead of All Blacks in their communications, in order to breakdown Laura.Worked a treat!

Oh. That rings a bell. He would have been working under Eddie (so to speak).

I watched that game live, then again on replay with an Aussie mate who hadn't seen it. I'd told him before the game (he knew the result) that it was the best performance by a 10 that I'd ever seen. He was sceptical.
Around HT I asked him if he agreed, and he said (like a true aussie) "hmm, not bad, reckon I've seen better.
I asked him what else Carter would need to do to get the performance over the line and he said "score another try".
Cue Carters 2nd, the conversion from the sideline, and a walkoff with 10mins to go
Farking beautiful

Matt Burke or Christian Cullen?
