[QUOTE="C A Iversen, post: 13519"] It's never been proven who poisoned the team, and I couldn't seriously blame South Africa, but in reality we all know that game should have been postponed by a day. I think everyone knew the New Zealanders were sick, (about 13 of them including reserves) and were not fit to play. Money dictated that they had to play on that day, and it is a disgrace for the IRB to this day that they have no back-up plan for the World Cup final. It is unlikely to ever happen again, but should not have happened to start with. The ONLY shame the South African players should have felt, was for not supporting New Zealand by refusing to play untill they were fit. I would never play against a side with several sick players, not even for my country's first world cup. Still, hindsight is always viewed with 20/20 vision. [/QUOTE]
