[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 435862, member: 44806"] To say the New Zealand public wants entertainment is very true. After all the All Blacks have been the most entertaining side in rugby for decades and it's that reason why we have always had such a high expectation to see them play well. But to say that it's "only" about entertainment is far from the truth. If anything it's that expectation for entertaining rugby that further enforces the priority of the All Blacks in our culture, simply because they very rarely play boring rugby (or lose for that matter) Sports like Rugby League have certainly taken a lift since the Kiwis won the World Cup and soccer has had a bit of a boost since the Fifa WC but everyone still holds the All Blacks in high standing regardless.
