[QUOTE="C A Iversen, post: 158841"] If we wanted to be seriously accurate then the phrase would be "Of course South Africa deserved it, it's only the World Cup". It's a trophy, the only international one in rugby, so everyone cries when they don't have it. The fact of the matter is who are the greatest nation in world rugby? Who are the side that will spend the most time ranked number one for the next four years? Statistically thats what really matters, a world cup is like giving a kid who gets a 100% in a test once every four years a bright shiny gold star, whilst overlooking the kid who averages top of the class all over his whole school life. South Africa have now got their second gold star and good on them. England and New Zealand only have one. Oh dear! I'd much rather support the country which is top of the class consistently. [/QUOTE]
