       Is it all over for the all blacks?

       They seem to have taken their eye off the ball, har har.
       A series loss to Ireland (a country with a smaller population)
       and five losses in their last eight meetings, when they had
       never previously lost to Ireland during their 110 year playing
       history, will have humiliated a team that is convinced it is the
       world's best in a country that has fok all else to crow about.

       long way to World Cup'

       Whaddaya mean! They have the world famous Pak'nSave supermarket
       brand!
       I see NZ also had an average end of season tour last year losing
       to South Africa, Ireland and France so the rot has been setting
       in for a while

       I'm surprised that the woke brigade haven't demanded that they
       change their name or be cancelled.

       The All Blacks were walloped by Les Bleus (The C.ocks) last
       weekend, the first game of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Is the All
       Black dominance at an end & are they now just a bunch of Nancy
       boys?
       And why can't Pismire ever afford to attend 1 of these
       tournaments?

       New Zealand and Ireland have very similar populations 5.2 and
       5.1 million respectively and a similar demographic with median
       age around 37 in both countries. Performance tends to go in
       cycles, with players getting long in the tooth but still being
       picked, until a new generation takes over. New Zealand will be
       back.
       The interesting thing is the Saffies. It seemed that they were
       on the way to also runs a while back, now they’re probably the
       best team in the world.

       Agreed.
       Truer than not.
       It's all about cyclical matter - especially within the realm of
       the sporting world.
       Tradition.

       Rugby world cup 2023 getting close to the quarter finals and the
       dim-witted IRB (or World Rugby as it is now known) will have the
       current top 4 teams in the world - Ireland, France, South
       Africa, New Zealand - playing each other in the quarter finals.
       So 2 of the top teams will be going home before the semifinals.
       Like Duh!
       Talk about a bore so far in pool play - someone in the top 5
       will demolish a country nobody even knew played rugby by 80
       points.
       They need a rethink on the format of this tournament
