[QUOTE="nam97, post: 153147"] Yes, it's very annoying on how it just drags on forever here. Seriously, this will be frontline news right up until the All Blacks season kicks off next year in terms of the media and public. Rugby has really gotten out of hand here, however dumb that may sound, we are just too stubborn and too in love with our All Blacks to accept and move on. This time I think it will be different though, most of us now get the point the RWC is not won on reputation alone, and if that were the case we would be the only team to ever have lifted it. The fact is you have to play a RWC like any other game and we should win because we do this the majority of the time. Overall, as a Rugby mad country we need to grow up and get our heads out of our arses. Stop blaming the ref (who still had an unforgivable performance), because in similar games with the same calls being made against us we have won and you'll hear no complaints from the NZ public. We were beaten by a better team on the day and that's enough to sink a nation's hope down the shitter. Move on I say and roll on 2011 (I hope the time comes quickly). [/QUOTE]
