[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 769497, member: 12312"] There is no need for childish illustrations, it doesn't say much for an intelligent discussion. I would say that I may not have gotten your point fully, due to wording or whatever. I do think that I got it significantly better than you got any of mine. No, I merely stated that the impact on a multi-sports tournament is different to the impact on the Rugby World Cup. We are talking about one country, which may have done brilliantly or poorly, weighed against dozens in the Olympics. It is logically a different scenario. I would yes, still regard the winners of those medals at those Olympics as Olympic Champions. So does the world. I'm not oblivious to any of that. There is no need to attempt to deride me. I was talking about the country as a whole. Not SA Rugby. You brought that into this just here. That's entirely correct. I agree with you. The article does not change my opinion. A lot of New Zealanders would rather be the best team year after year, than win even more World Cups and be ranked 3rd-6th in an ongoing fashion. I think that holds water. I had many other things to respond to. I'm happy to respond to that. If the circumstances were such as the South African scenario? I would definitely recognize [B]ANY[/B] other World Cup winner. Absolutely and without question. As an aside, New Zealand have been removed from the Olympic Soccer tournament, due to poor management of their eligibility requirements. I will recognise [B]ANY[/B] achievements of the country who reported us and took our place. I don't like how they did it, but I respectfully recognise them as being the regional team which has advanced instead of us. [/QUOTE]
