[QUOTE="Zapphod, post: 975506, member: 57286"] If you are happy or at least prepared to accept mediocrity then good for you but the reality is there is only winning and losing and we lost no matter what the result of this game is. As far as watching our greats play one more time you have reminded me of Micheal Jones who was a phenomenal player in his day but he stayed well past his day and changed from a great player into a sad reminder of what he used to be, I would sooner remember them in their prime than watch them try and rekindle their youth. As for 2nd-8th place who cares the reward is the same you get to go to the next one as I said winning is the only prize. As far as sour grapes or sore losing not at all, I never expected the ABs to win the cup and we were beaten by the better team on the day I have no qualms about game or the refereeing. The fact is no one out there on Friday wants to be there not the All Blacks nor the Welsh they went there to win and nothing else and I am prepared to bet there isn't a single bronze medal winner since 1987 dining out on winning one which is why I would sooner see an 8th v 9th spot play off between teams with something to play for than 3rd v 4th.
