I used to be so into rugby but dont give a toss now. Not going to watch the news tonight!
We are a petrol head house, so obviously we are watching something MUCH more important!

If the ref is making dodgy calls and for example only calling 1 side up for being off side, you have to play to that. The ref may have been dodge, but the AB's being
'best in the world' should have played to that. THey didn't play the kind of game in the play offs that wins world cup rubgy. In typical NZ fashion we are will now fire Graham Henry, find a new coach and start all over again. Have to say, was never a fan of him, so bring Back John Mitchel

They played like kids. Here's some stuff my friend txted me. Thought it was funny.
"New bra for the All Blacks: All support and no cup."
"What's the difference between the All blacks and a teabag? The teabag stays in the cup longer!"

Oh boy, that just makes it even more depressing - the jokes are coming out already!
I couldn't sleep last night, too depressed! And now Graham's going to be replaced - with who?!

Don't care, don't care, don't care, don't care.
It's a game, somebody has to win, and everybody else gets to lose. The All Blacks are so overhyped, overrated and the way they are portrayed as almost 'god-like' is ridiculous.
I could go on for almost a whole page about my opinions about this and the Americas cup but I don't think I'd make any friends or fans from it.

I'm probably going to get hung for this but the All Blacks sucked, they were pathetic. How can they be the best team when they haven't won a World Cup in 20 years.
I don't care either, and wish people would grow up, its only a rugby game - a very expensive one - and you'd be gutted if you'd shelled out $$$ for semi final and final tickets.
Wont be watching the news for the next week. It will all be rugby.
NZ is better at so many other sports.

Haha - All men I saw yesterday looked as though they were about to string themselves up.
Yes AB's are supposedly "The Best" and their game was sloppy, but as my DF said to me last night, he's not going to sit and mope about, especially knowing that as a whole, we still are the best. We're the most consistent... And had it not been for that f***wit ref, we would have been fine.
But you know what they say: C'est la Vie!
Lol, and Ford one... Pity

Hear! Hear! 
Being Northern Hemisphere born and bred, I have to say that although the Southern Hemisphere does have a higher skill of rugby, I honestly believe that Northern Hemisphere teams have a stronger passion/determination and this is what wins the game at the end of the day.
Unfortunately this did not work for Ireland

I'm still gutted! Though I think it was worse when our team got the call to start getting the AB's home as they wanted home now. (guess what most of yesterday at work was spent doing??)
Feeling so sorry for them.
