« Great Rugby World Cup moments - Western Samoa beat Wales 1991 | Main | Jeremy Guscott sticks the boot into Andy Farrell. Again. »
Which excuse will the All Blacks use this time?
We all know the score, New Zealand look unstoppable in-between World Cups, and then for some reason come the actual tournament itself they cock it all up. Let's look at the full list of excuses/reasons for them losing since their solitary win in 1987, and then have your say in our poll.
1991 - outplayed by Australia in the semis
1995 - lost to South Africa in the final - apparently they were deliberately given food poisoning
1999 - lost in semis to an admittedly inspired French team, but the All Blacks' attitude was qustionable
2003 - out-hustled by Australia (again) in the semis (again)
