Former World Champions...!
First topic message reminder :
Over the last Twenty five years we heard little moaning about the Kiwis losing the crown they rightfully owned.
Little jealousy by being usurped by other nations, surprise defeats by perceived lesser adversaries at critical times.
As a member and loyal fan of a non World cup winning nation I don't know how it would feel to win the RWC, let alone to not win it for a long period and see other nations, even former whipping boys, take wins from you.
In consideration, over the last quarter of a decade, as the most often number one ranked side, the inaugrual RWC winners, the Kiwis showed a great deal of decorum.
A modicome of which many could all take on board as example.

Blimey, and to think maes was giving him 'advice' on his writing.Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler wrote:maestegmafia wrote:One of the biggest differences in Kiwis, who whether or not current world Champions, and other nation is that they rarely remind you of their incredible achievements.
Like SA and Australia they have now won two RWCs, in between both successes they have pretty much continuously been the team to beat, the number one ranked or perceived best team in the World, thus a World cup win is solely ratification of their renown standing.

Post on topic Pete mate.
Obviously there are a few grammar errors and typos, I was on a phone at an airport. Really not worth commenting on at all.
No need to encourage the usual idiotic trolls on to another thread by you being ridiculous pedantic..
Cheers

It was more the sycophantic nature of the post than the language. But thanks for being melodramatic.
