[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 587905, member: 57076"] well I know you're half tongue-in-cheek there, but that's just a (caricature of a) thick reading. A loss or a win are the whole difference in the end, sure, but obviously there's also...[U][B]EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS DURING THOSE EIGHTY MINUTES OF PLAY[/B][/U]. you know... Stuff like going into NZ, during their first tournament ever, scoring a try in like 5min, and keeping the Blacks try-less til about the 65th min. Sure they never added anything to the scoreboard after their try, but other Tier 1 teams have taken bigger hidings (France, or even worse...Ireland). Australia couldn't score in NZ that year. Both their results were very good against the Ozzies. Anyways. I'm just saying the good or bad play of a side is not measured in just simply a win loss record. And sure everybody obviously understands that, but some ppl will deliberately go deaf about that. And actually yes, they did have AMAZING DEFENSE last year in the tournament. With the exception of the first game perhaps in SA, but still they were good - and of course at home against the rampant AB. [/QUOTE]
