[QUOTE="kbourke88, post: 119433"] Ah Ripper, you also fail to note the difference between favourite heading into a world cup and favourites at the world cup. The All Blacks are always expected to make the final, I cant remember a world cup where they werent favourites or second favourites in the lead up. But after the first couple of matches, ABs have been the clear favourites to take the cup in every one. (Gotta cover all angles on this argument here about AB favourites). As you would know, winning the cup is about peaking at the right time, and also about being a tough enough team to win the 4 most important games of a career in a row. Again, more reasons why people call the ABs chokers. They always have the ability and the class, but havent managed to grind the 4 in a row out as yet. 2 or 3 aint good enough. I also have to mention, i am one of the most loudmouthed staunch supporters of the wallabies, and it goes a long way to show the state of our rugby at the moment that i have more to say about the all blacks. DAMN! [/QUOTE]
