Why NZ Rugby fans shouldn't feel so bad...

October 8th 2007 07:46
New Zealand's The Dominion Post has 10 suggestions why the All Blacks' loss isn't "that bad".

Captain Richie McCaw, devastated after the All Blacks lost to France and lost the World Cup. Again.
Try telling them to Captain McCaw



Here they are;

Ten reasons why the All Blacks' 20-18 loss to France in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals ain't that bad....


1.Richie McCaw's freshly cut hair put in a great performance.

2.They only won by two points.

3.Only one person lost $A5 million ($NZ5.89 million) by betting on us winning.

4.France could still lose the final.

5.We could have lost to Georgia.

6.Blue will never look as cool as black on a uniform.

7.What doesn't kill us can only make us stronger.

8.If it wasn't for the ref, it would have been different.

9.You can still drink your beer stockpile on New Year's Eve.

10.The French have never won an Oscar for best picture.



To which I will add...

11. *cough cough*....choke...


Any more?

...and may I please remind NZ fans that this came from a newspaper from your country.

Don't shoot the messenger. She's in no mood to take prisoners.

I feel truly sorry for the All Blacks.
The Wallabies will be 'punished'* by a loss of a ticker tape parade and media barbs written by weaklings who have never stepped foot on a Rugby field except to feel how nice the turf is...but the ABs?...

A 1000 pounds of flesh. Starting with Coach Graham Henry. He's out. This paves the way for Robbie Deans to take over as Coach until the AB's lose the next World Cup.

This is good. Now an Australian might be considered for the position of Wallaby Coach.

****************

*Yes, The Wallabies messed up but the blame lies with the ARUseless.

When they lose at the next world cup they won't have so far to travel to go home?

Dusk, I do love how they try to justify it. I wonder how hard my relatives are taking the loss - they may, in fact, have this list framed...

Hope you are well, Dusk. and staying strong.

Hugs,
Nina

I wouldn't want to be in NZ right now. Or any one on the All Black team when they come home. I can still hear the ranting of one disgruntled Kiwi on the radio, blasting them and calling them chokers.

I do feel sorry for the ABs. They are the best team in the world.......between World Cups!
