[QUOTE="Zapphod, post: 978313, member: 57286"] That was a long critique that missed the point entirely. Here's a thought and it could be wrong who knows, maybe New Zealand isn't as rugby mad as the world wants to think we are. What I think most of New Zealand has realised over the past 10 years is that winning three cups in a row was unlikely at best and that at some point we were going to get caught by the rest of the world. On top of this Hansen and Read are right it was just one game. Since rugby coverage became pay per view the average Kiwi has simply turned off, we no longer get up at 2-3am to watch a game we catch the replay the next day, we don't go into depression at a loss, we have effectively moved on. Still I guess this means the "Chokers" ***le is up for grabs? [/QUOTE]
