[QUOTE="Mikel92, post: 694913, member: 71857"] Ok. You are using a certain kind of logic to reach one conclusion (which isn't wrong or whatever) and I am going a different route. The World Cup just represents something different to me I guess. In 2007 the Springboks had a scare against Fiji (Fiji buckled when the more classy players came on), and two slogs against the English. Outside of that, there were no real challenges. To me that's not enough to be the best in the world. Don't get me wrong, at the time I think they WERE, but for different reasons than that tournament. Especially for the records they smashed in the following years. In no other area of life does that happen. You don't have one good day at work, albeit an important day, and get promoted. You show a consistent performance over a period of time. Just my view. :) Nothing more. I appreciate the majority think it's not overrated. But I say it is. End of discussion. [/QUOTE]
