Theres no doubt the All Blacks are the greatest team in the world at the moment ( god that hurt saying that lol ) But do u think because of that fact, they tend to become a bit complacent sometimes and take things for granted ? Not a dig at them.. just a thought.

I'm not sure its complacency, think its more to do with the Maori element, dont get me wrong, they are amazing, but if they get a few knocks, and they suffered really bad in the line outs they turn to shit! give up and just cant be bothered! They were the only team england feared the most in the last world cup!

Actually thats very true ur point about the Maoris. They do it in league too. They are absolutley brilliant players, but, when things arent going right they tend to put the head down and tail between the legs.

Couldnt agree more, i have a brilliant dvd of the NZ Maori's Tests, they are the most amazing players on earth yet when the game turns on them they are buggered! Im a wellington fan and i see it all the bloody time with them! at least they have the wind to contend with!

Hi Matt,

The All Blacks team against South Africa were as follows;

15. D C Howlett - Kiwi

14. J T Rokocoko - Fijian

13. J M Muliaina - Somoan

12. A J D Mauger - Kiwi

11. S W Sivivatu - Fijian (replaced by R. Gear - Maori)

10. D W Carter - Kiwi

9. Q J Cowan - Kiwi (replaced by Kelleher - Kiwi)

8. R Sooialo - Samoan

7. R H McCaw - Kiwi

6. J Collins - Kiwi of Samoan descent

5. A J Williams - Kiwi

4. C R Jack - Kiwi (replaced by Eaton - Kiwi)

3. C J Hayman - Kiwi

2. A K Hore - Kiwi (replaced by Oliver - Kiwi)

1. T D Woodcock - Kiwi (replaced by Tialita - Samoan)

I don't know how long R Gear was on the field for, but it's hardly the fault of one man that they lost. Is is because you think we all look the same?!

Yeah thats right you all look the same! Yeah!
Read my posts again! My comment was not to do with the other nights game but of games in general! I dont dispute the quality of the Maori players, i have already stated that i rate them as the finest in the world but look through the history books big guy! I actually think Dougie Howlet is of Maori decent as well or does it not count because he has white in him!? What, do we all look the same!?
I have already stated that SA wanted the win, your right it isn't one person who loses the game but AS I HAVE ALREADY stated the game was lost on the line outs!!!
