Not really. If Berry and McNeice hadn't ballsed it up so badly at the end of Scotland-France, we'd have been fairly likely to have had a Grand Slam decider in the last round of matches. Now we are unlikely even to have a Championship decider.

Yup the best team overall, but I was glad there was no back to back GS, they should be very difficult to win

Frankly it's a mediocre tournament. The participants have won 1 out of the 10 RWC. The Rugby Championship nations have won 9 out of 10 RWC. I would feel ashamed at that record, but you guys live in a world of cognitive dissonance. Your media and fans indulge in ridiculous levels of hubris convincing yourselves that you are indeed world class.
The record suggests very strongly that you aren't and one World Cup from ten is absolutely abysmal.

Shameful really......

We have made 4 finals and won it twice. That's a better record than all of the North combined.

They are mediocre.....

It's the truth. Something, if their state of their politics is anything to go by is a very scarce resource in Northern parts.

When you say the South...

and we look at the Tri Nations / Rugby Championship records,

we see Australia, between 1996 and 2023, amassed...

4 wins.

I'd call that pretty damned mediocre. A lead weight. An anchor.


Anti aspirational.

Not sure any of you can read but I was talking about how many RWC wins the North hasn't accumulated compared to the South.

Not how many RC wins Australia has. That is irrelevant. We are talking World Cup wins. And on that score the North has one and Australia has two.

End of story.

Er, no, you are the only one talking about World Cup wins...on a 6N thread.

No, I was talking about how the six nations is a mediocre comp because the participants have only won 1 world cup compared to the RC nations.

Is that that hard to comprehend?

That's an absurd metric. The worth of a competition is how competitive it is. The 6N is streets ahead of the RC on that front.

I'd also venture that RWC wins are meaningless outside of the tournament. It's a snapshot of a few weeks and says much less about the quality of a team than a general win record over time. When NZ consistently ranked no1 in the world, yet didn't have a world cup to their name, no one thought they were number 2 to the reigning 'champs'.

Over the last 37 years the North has won the RWC once. Once for fuck sake. That's not just weak, that's what you call an abject humiliation. But looking at the state of you, I'm sure you probably think all of those losses were in fact "moral victories'.

Wake up to yourselves and stop trying to cover the pig in lipstick. It ain't working.

1-9 over 37 years :lol: :lol:

The Bledisloe Cup is played between two sides only, NZ and Australia.

Australia last held that trophy in 2002... 23 years and counting without holding the cup, in a 2 horse race.

Overall, the two sides have played 156 times for the trophy. Australia have won 37 of those.

37 from 156 in a two horse race.

That pig has smeared lipstick.

Not so sure. AC (unlike this sad, insecure wee ocker) actually knew a bit about rugby, and actually had a sense of humour.

All this guy does is spout irrelevant, jingoist nonsense and whack a laughing emoji at the end of every post.

Oh well, at least he thinks he's edgy and hilarious...and that's all that really matters in the end, right.
