Are the Japies the new Poms?
Ever since the Wellington test the South Africans seem to have taken whinging to a new level that would put the Poms to shame. First of all PdV moaned about cheating & said how well the Boks had played. Then SARU have asked a judge to investigate bias by refs against the Boks. I don't remember any of this moaning when they were winning last year.
To top it off PdV has now stated that refs are favouring the All Blacks so tickets can be sold for next year's RWC? You must be kidding. The way he is going he won't be in NZ himself. But that would never happen - he was always a token appointment as coach & has been very lucky to have such a group of great players.
Brendan Cannon was bang on when he labelled him a clown.
Perhaps because it is. Just like the refs, aussie and kiwi media, and the Kiwi and Aussie rugby world are - towards the Boks.
Why - because the Boks are the strongest opponents to Aussie and NZ rugby dominance - thats why, thats the only reason. As for the refs, the same applies - Paddy O'Brian being a well known KIWI would love to see his beloved "All Blacks" win a world cup on his watch, and he is doing everything humanly possible to make that happen. Frankly I think Henry and O'Brian should cosy up and spoon, they'd make a loveable couple, but then, thats what they are already.
As for all those SA haters - perhaps a little explanation of why you hate the boks so much, when the boks don't hate you would be nice................oh sorry, I forgot, you all want to be hated.....:) Touche'
Hatred gives motivation to punish, punishment in Rugby means a beating, and a beating you shall get, my money is on England, France, and SA for next years world cup, and not in that order.
Ciao, and lots of love.
