[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 342574, member: 43400"] Well for me I can't accept that all of those cups could be considered choking, on the basis that you'd have to be considered the favourite going in to the tournament ... 91, yes the ABs had a string of victories and the Bledisloe I think, but 95 Australia were the reigning champs and had the form going in and they were the ones that got eliminated in the quarter finals (NZ lost two home tests to France in 94), 99, Definitely under achieved, so fair enough, 03 we weren't the favourites - england were, and we were bundled out due to poor selection in the no. 13 jersey and a team that exploited that well, rather than choking, 07, sure, hard to argue the point ... A case could just as easily be argued that Australia choked in 1987 and 1995 as they were the favourites and were at least expected to contest the finals [/QUOTE]
