[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 110854"] Last 90 years? Not quite true really. New Zealand are an incredible rugby nation but they have had their fallow periods just like everyone else. Sorry what? Shall we count them together shall we, lets start. 1.. There we go! Just the one! Are you still subconsciously hiding behind Australia and South Africa again? You cheeky monkey! :lol: A mark of a REAL team is when they win the games that really matter, such as World Cup games. If you don't have enough in the tank to beat a team that you can whip usually outside of the World Cup, you have to ask yourself, why can't that team pull it out of the bag? What exactly is making the All Blacks choke at the world cup? Oh dear, he hasn't heard of David Strettle has he? The poor bugger. :lol2tn: Neither. Why can't they replicate that form in a World Cup and win every match and dominate the competition all the way through? What is stopping them from doing this? Its all good and well trotting off lines of results, but you need to ask yourselves, why teams like Australia and South Africa can take that form to the World Cup and win while New Zealand can't? I don't care what my exact words were, it isn't relevant to bring up OTHER nations statistics when trying to explain away the fact that YOU have dropped a bollock on four separate occasions! And for that point, did I mention at that point that the NH had won more RWCs than the SH? No, I have focused exclusively on New Zealand and their failure to add more World Cups to their trophy cabinet. Can you tell me, please, straight, no bullshit, no dodging or diving, or using South Africa or Australia as a shield, or using cheap shots at NH players as a diversion, why New Zealand hasn't won a World Cup since the 1980s. I want a serious answer. [/QUOTE]
