Are ABs really the best?

Yes the All Blacks have just won the WC, but are they really the best team in the World?

Some people might say they were lucky to beat France. Others that the French seemed to have developed a fatal allergy to attempting drop goals in the final quarter. Yet others, that the ref seemed to favour the ABs with many of his crucial decisions, especially at scrum and breakdown. Others, that the ABs merely capitalised on home advantage.

What do you think?

Look Shannon... go in the kitchen an make me a sandwich and stop talking out of ur back side. good girl

What is it you want? to make a statement so absurd and then have people agree with you?
SO if no agreement is received you go on a little hissy fit and the very best you can do is bring in to question the nationality of someone who replies.
Shame on me??? ohhh please someone give this guy a lolly

The All Blacks have been the best and most consistent side for the past decade without doubt. They were the best side in the World Cup 2011, and were without doubt deserved winners. End of!

In my opinion the All Blacks DID CHOKE in the final, and still managed to win it against a French side who brought their best performance to the final.

Ye hook, that's the way most people see it. And we should not forget the AB's played excellent rugby throughout the competition where France limped in to the Final off the back of 2 losses in the group and less then impressive performances in the knock-out stages.

Its fair to ask the question if not the AB's then who?

DINGER:
The only person I see having a hissy fit round here is you.

Im not questioning anyone's nationality simply saying that as an Irishman you should be aware that tactics like the Rolling Maul and the Garryowen first became popularised in Ireland.

"talking out of ur backside" >>>>>>>>>> You're the one who said that every single development in the game of rugby came out of NZ! What a joke!

As for the "sandwich", get it yourself, you need the exercise!

As a New Zealander I would say yes the All Blacks are the best team in the world. That's just my unbiased opinion of course.

I see Ireland have arranged a 3 match tour of NZ next year. So we will be able to see the 3rd or 4th ranked North Hemi team minus stars like O'Driscoll, against the World Champion ABs. Should be interesting!
