[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 808752, member: 38640"] Not sure in any of the posts on this match where an NZ poster had said the Lions didn't deserve to win, or that it wasn't the Crusaders fault they lost. The first post you selected contested the margin of difference by the Crusaders losing to the Lions which was influenced by travel. The second post you highlighted by Smartcookie - was in agreement that the Crusaders coach was terribly qualified and will continue to be so. He pointed out the current system is weighted in South African teams favor - not exactly an excuse considering they have two conferences which are guaranteed playoff spots each regardless of points. S.A posters will admit it's a bizarre system.. The third post you referenced is from a banned poster in a thread months ago. The post by Kiwi is also the same banned user. Really just makes you look like you have an even bigger chip on your shoulder. You can say you have no horse in the race, but when you make uneducated generalization about the attitudes of people from another nation - you open yourself to criticism. I wouldn't assume your comments represent the view of all Americans, just as the below comment represents the view of one atypical New Zealander.. [/QUOTE]
