All Blacks takes current Rankings and Praise with grain of salt

We have had 24years of pain to put any weight on current rankings and praises going into the current RWC. All meaningless.

All we know is we have never won a RWC outside of NZ and noone has ever won back to back RWCs.

We will do our very best with the help of GOD and for his Glory achieve it BUT win or lose, ALL the Glory to GOD through JESUS CHRIST his wonderful SON and our LORD and SAVIOUR.

 Will your lot handle the Tsunami of pressure? Invest in a good shrink....or.... Be afraid......be very afraid.

 Perfect love casteth out fear Denny .

 Matey......Dat fella called Pressure.... ummm is not from the Hippie era...

 Pressure? I he an All Black?

 "I he an All Black?" sounding a bit shaky on the typos....a sure sign of pressure

What would a RWC be without pressure ? If you think this is pressure, Imagine the pressure in NZ in 2011, where losing was not an option with Carter out, Cruden out, Slade out, McCaw injured, Read injured and the most jinxed player in NZ steps up to the plate in the form of beer bellied unfit Stephen Donald and wins it for NZ so ALL the Glory would be GODs.

1 Corinthians 27 : 29
"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him"

Paul the writer was of course referring to JESUS and the message of the cross.

 Your God must have been awfully prejudiced when the Boks and other national sides had their players injured as well.

 You sound pressured Denny

 Rankings count for nothing at the RWC. We have been humbled for 24years to know we need GOD to help us highlight all the talent HE has given us and to win this RWC for HIS Glory.

Brother Hakwa are you saying "god help us ?"

 
Talking about rankings ... I wonder if the Goats would still be in the top ten by the end of the WC?

Goooooooooooo Samoaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

 Yes Wardad I am invoking The LORDs help in winning back to back RWCs.

 Hacked waaaugh what an ignoble purpose. Rather say may the Lord grant victory to the most deserving side. That of course rules out the conniving wee abs!Anyhow lets not get flippant about such important and sacred matters hacked waaugh. And yes you do need help as the wee abs look vunerable and may not be able to count on the ref. We shall see what happens. Dont despair yet.
