Must be terribly disheartening for a nation of 50 million + to bow down to a country of  just 4 million .

If it's any consolation you are not alone as France, England and Australia all have the same problem.

I had no idea SAFFAS have an obsession with the AB's.....do we?  I find it hard to believe. What about the AB's trauma when facing the Boks......let's be fair dinkum here mate, they know the Boks are the only nation who present them with a daunting challenge.

Obsession as the team with the second best record.  Obsession in that a large section of The Rainbow Nation have supported the All Blacks most of their rebellious lives.. Race and rugby are huge factors in both countries.

Both Southern Hemisphere. Both were colonised. We are country cousins. Hence the obsession.

With only 4 million,  pound for pound, the sheep farmers win.

BL and Sponge an elementary fact you overlook is that relatively few SAs play rugby. Our black population is soccer mad.

Try and look a little deeper into matters!
