[QUOTE="Mcfadden, post: 769500, member: 72865"] McCaw is a great sportsman as well. There have been plenty of times where he has acknowledged the opposition. Granted they are the usual stock standard phrases like "we knew they were going to throw everything at us" and "full credit to them" but maybe that's just in our identity; we aren't a nation of big talkers like you Australians. Maybe he was just wrapped up in winning a World Cup and being part of the first team in history to do it back to back? You've obviously been watching different post match interviews than I have! You also don't hear McCaw grizzle and groan like a certain Irish captain did when he gets intentionally injured and beaten up on the field - just quietly acknowledges it and stores it away as motivation. To be honest, I don't expect much from you Australians. You're the most sour, bitter sort of people I've ever encountered. Sonny Bill Williams gave his medal to a child and all I've seen from Aussies are excuses about how bad that was. We obviously can't win with you guys in terms of our actions off the field. Guess it's a good thing we won where it counts aye? Yeah, not buying it. Someone has pointed out that it isn't ALL McCaw said after the game .. you've then realized that, and you've shifted the goal posts to your argument. [/QUOTE]
