@dartmoordog really? Apart from the BOD incident and this what else has he done to be titled "cheap shot king"? I thought Bakkies would get that title ;-)
Why? Because the fans cry like babies and slag the ref like tarts when they lose. To choke at home (the only home RWC they'll ever have) will be funny. If they win glorious.
Just read some of the bullshit after 2007. If that does not make you laugh you must be a kiwi because the rest of the rugby world chortles in fine style.
@OneBigRetard ..not in rugby terms no but in other sports??? As you say this aspect of the argument is irrelevant as these are the rules. I did not raise th e subject though it was the user Skankrat or whatever his or her name is that raised the issue of migrated players, I simply responded.
They are not 'my guys', I am not a New Zealand-er, I live there though.
Why would it be funny if the ABs don't win? Please illuminate.
Oh I admit it. The facts speak for themselves. The ABs can make a claim to be the best side in any sport. Their W/L ratio is a fact.
They just are not the best RWC team. You say it has no relevance, I disagree. The pressure has made them play like fools, especially the last time out.
Your petty insults aside, the fact is McCaw SHOULD lift the trophy. That is why if and when he doesn't it will be funny beyond measure.
Then we can hear the ref get threatened and tears all round etc.
@ragers66 ...continued. Interestingly NZ authorities have never fast-tracked a citizenship or passport application in the manner the UK authorities did in the 1980s to allow Zola Budd to participate in the 1984 Olympics. Pots and Kettles......
@ragers66 ...continued In the case of the majority of Pacific islanders who play for the ABs they been in NZ since a very young age when the migrated with thier parents or are second generation migrants. What Skankrat is too stupid to realise, is that Pacific Island migration to NZ has propotionately been just as prevalent as Afro-carribean or Indian or Pakistani migration to the UK.
@ragers66 No point in arguing with that fuckwit Skankrat. He is the typical arrogant English, perfidious Albion, Rule Britannia believing arsehole who thinks the British Empire still covers a quater of the globe. Ever wonder why NZ, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, Wales all love to see England lose. What that sad moron Skankrat can't accept is that EVERY nation has players in thier international teams that come from other nations, his precious England as much, if not more, than any other nation.

Yeah, but the Sub-Continent and the Caribbean don't have their own top-level rugby teams that suffer as a consequence.
Either way, this is always a silly argument. Fact is, if you can do it within the rules laid down you can play for whoever you want. And good luck.
Gallagher was a great player for you guys. You were welcome to him.
