On their respective days Aust and NZ are both great sides....It just so happens that Union is so imbedded into NZ culture that to have a loss is like losing a close friend/relative to cancer.

Too right. The ABs still have many rough edges, but it was great to see them get out of a rut in style. The score line was flatering to NZ, I thought the Aussie played quite well actually.

that is how i usually feel after an afl game

except for cricket (then, i do not follow the states) i tend not to follow the countries or state of origin sides - but with my limited knowledge of union, i cannot follow the wallabies. a lot of the all blacks come from the crusaders, don't they? in that case i would have to lean towards the all blacks. however being 3/4 one country and 1/4 the other, it doesn't really matter to me who wins

one game each . the difference though is Australia aren't so arrogant as to think they are the best team ever [mind you kiwi's have to be good at something]. when we beat the ditch jumpers it's just so satisfying. :

They don't think they are too good ! I tell you they cope heaps over there..Win or loose..
Its everyone else thinks they are good.. The problem is at big events .. They start to believe it.. Come on for 3mill people they do o/k..

this thread reminds me of the "lemon of troy" episode from the simpsons

Shelbyvillian #1: Lost children? Sounds like Springfield's got a discipline problem.
Shelbyvillian #2: Yeah, that's why we beat them at football nearly half the time!
(All laugh unjustifiably at Springfield for this reason)

sorry i have to disagree.
i work with a lot of kiwi's and all i've heard since the world cup is how the blacks are the true world champions,it's the coach's fault or they were robbed. i can handle 'talking up' a team [i've done it myself] but there is a point when loyalty becomes arrogance.
don't forget that unlike NZ where rugby is a religion, here it is our 3rd line football code [behind rules and league] and for us to beat the boks or the blacks it is a very big deal. cheers.

Depends what area they come from? Around Christchurch [crusaders country] they will support Wallabies coach..They think NZRU should have gone with Rob Deans..
Keep in mind the Wallabies have had several coach's also.
They have netball, league, soccer etc there too..
Non of that stupid AFL tho...

*Cries*

We made history last night. Australia became the first team to squander a first half lead in Tri-Nations Rugby. We were beaten by the better team, and congratulations to the All Blacks.

Bring on 2009.
