I was studying something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read originally. I am still mulling over the diverse points of view, but I’m tipped heavily toward yours. And regardless, that’s what is so superb about modernized democracy and the marketplace of thoughts online.

Of course it is biased. Aren’t we all when it comes to sport.
I was also at the SF in Sydney and don’t recall it being exactly that way although I know there were a lot of disappointed supporters who saw the in form team get beaten by a smarter team.

But in fairness this post was more about the last few years, and through all the losses in the RWC (albeit we have actually won one) AB supporters are not as fair weather when times are tough. Maybe that is because in all other instances the AB’s tend to win, ie. all the other cups and big wins.

But yes very biased!

I think your All Black & Wallabies comparisons may have been a little biased Darryl. I remember alot of All Blacks supporters first booing, and then leaving early, during the RWC2003 semi-final…..

Sorry, you said don’t mention the World Cup, didn’t you??
