"Global glee" at AB's failure . . .

 Second yellow also a cynical red zome in fringment by beau. OZ dominated second half. 
Abs sooooo lucky to get a draw.

Take a look at this hilarious article on the Stuff.co.nz website.

The writer is basically having a little snivel because he thinks no-one likes the All Blacks anymore and the whole world is celebrating their failure. He bases this "global glee" on articles by Mark Keohane and Gavin Rich where each one states that Jaco Peyper cannot be held responsible for either side not winning the match. That's honestly all this tearful Kiwi is going on . . . but he's got it into his head that the whole world is having a laugh at his precious Kiwis.

I'm afraid the hard-man image that New Zealanders have tried to cultivate for themselves is rapidly going up in smoke and being replaced by an image of a blubbering little crybaby.

"The mean old cheating refs have got it in for us and no-one likes us anymore! It's all so unfair! Boohoohoo!"

Harden up Kiwis. You guys are sounding more like Baboon-ou every day.

 i dont think the ref was great but i think hanson went into this game all wrong. maybe his lack of smarts is starting to show. i have to say i hsve never seen a ref do new zealand over. i dont think the team cheats like others i just think that they get it way easier than most. 

Says the king of sch adenfreude. Actually RooiAAS your joy at an All Black draw away is a little pathetic. It reminds me of the delight you so obviously experience when WP loses. Why are you so ecstatic when somebody else fails....could it be because....yes indeed.

 Rooitwit you are contraditing yourself but are too dumb to realsie it. While you are happy to have the Boks and our Super 15 sides robbed blind I make a stand and call it as it is regardless of season.GROW A BACKBONE ROOITWIT !! bWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You and the kbbs are on the same page usually. Both being denialist re bent refs. 
As for the wee abs, I have just completed watching the first half of their game versus Oz.Jaco cannot really be faulted. That yellow was for a typical cynical ab red zone infringment. 
Wobblies missed two kicks at goal and turned down two kicks at goal. Should have been ahead at half time. Abs looked the better side for the first 15 minutes but then the tide started to turn. Very lucky to escape the second half without a try against them.
The reason folk dont like the abs is that they get their results illegally one way or another. This of course shows that Beeno has been correct in calling them out.
This writer has simply observed the growing antipathy towards the wee abs.
As I advised some years again they need to clean up their act. 
GUESS WHO HAS BEEN PROVED CORRECT YET AGAIN!
Also re Jaco - no observable bias.Very solid ref display in the first half at least.

 
Beano ... It's not only that that's turned me against them.

I grew up with the image of an All Black being a mans man, the absolute strongest opponent anyone could ever hope to face on a rugby field ... 

My grandfather had a lot of respect for them and there was always something very special when we competed against them. A certain vibe in the the air.

I guess the Haka enhanced that image even more so ... with all it's facial enactments ... throat slitting ... had me riveted as a youngster.

I thought Bryan Williams was a god.

Now I see it as a side show ... something they should take to the road ... tour the world with. Make it a traveling carnival show for all to enjoy.   

I see them now as a nation without integrity!! Nothing manly about them at all. It's very disappointing.

They'll take a win, even if it was illegally gained, and then they'll boast about it as though they actually deserved it.

Much like the Bulls.

Remember when the Bulls "beat" the Sharks for their first super trophy? I went through the roof.

Habana should have been sent off for taking Monty out in the air and the winning try wasn't a try at all.

The Bulls around Pretoria strutted their stuff as if they were the better team.

It didn't matter to them that the Sharks had just been cheated out of the trophy.

That I'm afraid doesn't do it for me.

I know their are some awesome kiwis out there and I have a few good mates who for some friggin reason support the Bulls ... yet I've grown to hate the teams they support because of the few fans I've come across.

They need to be put in their place and I look very much forward to that day.

You can imagine what fun I'm having with the last few Bulls performance ... suddenly the arrogance that was once there is no longer to be seen.

Very strange.

 

Cloudy, the point I was making was that it was a very whiny and tearful heading for an article that did nothing other than report on a few valid comments made by two South African writers . . . but thanks for making my point for me . . . even if it was inadvertently.

 I agree that Sharsk should ahve won that Super Comp final CC. 
I cannot support nz while thsi RAWs business continues. Jaco pinged them for their red zone infringments. More refs should take this line. They have got away with far too much for far too long. Then you have the blatants like Bryce Lawrence and Roman Poite etc.
We saw recently England B getting shafted. So how can they expect to be liked if they win like this!!!
I agree nz folk can be very decent - JW , Cloudy etc but one still has to point out when things are not right even if poor wee rooitwit gets tearful when bent refs are called out!! Hahhahahahahahaha
Rooitwit thinks that no matter how badly refs blow one must not complain. He lacks a backbone methinks!
You need one when making a principled stand!

 
Except you Lara ... of course.

You're just too damn cute with your six shooters.

 The kbbs here are excellent folk its the refs who are a problem. Remember Cloudy I took Craig Joubert to task for anding the WC to nz on a platter..Anyhow lets hope things get better and we dont have to blame refs for wrong decisions that determine the outcome of a match - something that halfwits like rooitwtit and cerudunce windpomp thing nevver happen.
