So you're no longer living in Korea, and yet you feel the need to post the results of a game of rugby, a game I'd say the vast majority of people living in Korea have no idea how to play, just to show that a country which in general joins in a competition just for the hell of it (man losing the Rugby League final hurt though, one bad game and it happened to be in the final) as they have no way of actually winning anything (OK maybe netball) just to show up them Aussies, a country with only 21,000,000 but punches above its weight in many different sports, rugby union currently not being one of them.
Fly away Kiwi, oh that's right, you're a flightless bird, run away then, run away little birdie. |

| The All Blacks never win when it actually means something. |

Test matches mean everything to the All Blacks; every test match, all the time. And at least the All Blacks are the team that every other country wants to beat more than anyone else, not like the Wobblies.
By the way Kurtz, how's the Australian echo chamber... I mean trophy cabinet... going these days? |

| Who cares about the All Blacks? The mighty Southland Stags won the Ranfurly Shield last week. Would rather have the shield than beat the Aussies, or even win the WC for that matter. |

Never heard of cricket? International rugby isn't the only sport in the world. The ICC Champions Trophy was our latest little acquisition, and who was the sad little team that showed up that lost by 6 wickets?? 
Let me say again, it shows us how insecure the Kiwi's are by posting some rugby result on an ESL site full of Americans and Canadians, it's really sad.
There's little doubt the All Blacks are a great team and maybe should have deserved some silverware, but unless you can produce it when it really matters, it all amounts to sweet FA. |

There's no shame in being proud of the sporting achievement of a country with a population of only 4,300,000 or even 22,000,000. But how embarrassing would it be to sink astounding amounts of money into your country's sport yet be repeatedly beaten by a country five times smaller? Hmmm, I wonder how that feels? |

What sporting achievements? A few Bledisloe Cups and Tri Nations silverware which can be nicely polished with a bit of spit and a rag, but I think your 22 year old World Cup will require a little more attention.
I have no idea how much Australia pumps into Rugby Union, a sport I don't really like being a Victorian.
Here's a little titbit for you, apart from private schoolboys in NSW and QLD, it's hardly Australia's most popular winter sport. Try Rugby League, a code which Australia has pretty much dominated for many years and lets see how many people watch and play Aussie, the national game played in every state to varying levels.
I'm sure being a Kiwi, union is the most important sport in the world, but for most Aussies, that ain't the case. There is no fun in losing but we have other sports to turn our attention to, both as a team and as an individual.
How about NZ?
See you at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa! |

Good chance for a snog in Wachner Place? |

That's a good line for the sponsors but not much else. Rugby is over played, results are not forthcoming, and the NZRB can't fill home stadiums for Beledisloe or other main international matches. Dunno what attendance was in Tokyo, but rugby in Tokyo is a novelty sport for the public on a quiet baseball weekend, and a company sport but not much else.
The ABs are chronic chokers. They won the first WC in 1987 when they were esentially the sole professional rugby team.
The ABs are still trying to get free lunches from 1970s-80s AB rugby. |

Unlike Scotland in their history you mean? 
Isn't it a disgrace that a country like Australia who has only been in the world cup since 1974 has outdone Scotland who have never ever got past the first round group stages ever?
Scotland - the joke of world football! |
