[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1054532, member: 65365"] This is just typical all blacks rugby, we saw similar and better at times prior to the last World Cup, but we didn’t win that. And this game was against australia. Other teams wont give us turnover opportunities (especially at a World Cup), other teams will bombard us with high balls, have better defence, be better at the breakdown, challenge our scrum more. It might be that we play a team at the world cup who has spent a heap of time analysing us. Also, the best team at the World Cup probably wont win the World Cup. Let’s say the best team in the world is 79 per cent likely to beat any of the other top 8 teams in a one off game. That means it is less than 50 per cent likely they will win three games in a row against top eight sides. the reason I wondered if you were sarcastic is that it’s been pretty common over the years for people to exclaim the all blacks will win the World Cup after they have a typical all blacks style performance like this. Yet we dont win that many. [/QUOTE]
