[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 761606, member: 53057"] Well that's insulting. Didn't I say I believe in the system? Anyone who looks can see that our success is built around our halfbacks. Of course Schmidt will build around certain players when you have the best outhalf in the world you base yourselves around him, that's the way it goes. It's bloody natural that when you lose the best in the world and end up with someone who at best is outside the top 10 starting that your team will suffer and I have every right to be nervous. Yes Schmidt will have planned for life without Sexton doesn't mean he would want it or that he's incredibly confident in it or that it's as good a plan. Take out Retallick, Kaino, McCaw, Carter and C. Smith out of the NZ team and suddenly you'll find some NZ fans aren't as confident, it's natural. Us deserving to win will never have a single thing to do with what any fan thinks so I have no idea why on earth you put that in. I'm still supporting them and never said we can't win. This is a discussion forum so that's why there a point in having a discussion about the difference if he was fit. I've watched every single minute of rugby this team has played, watched a number of press conferences, spoken with one of the analysts about the team and watched nearly every provincial game these guys have played in the last few years so excuse me but I do think that I know this team very well thank you. It is a very reasonable to think that since we've lost 5 of our most key players that we're not exactly favorites anymore against a very good team. That's not negative that's realistic and respectful of the opposition. So don't tell me that if I believe what I said that I have no belief in the team because that's a crock of ****e. [/QUOTE]
