That article does nothing other than reinforce the belief others hold that New Zealand comes up with excuses when they lose.
The All Blacks went back the next year and won a test series. I know which I prefer.
We're a real nation of whingers when things don't go our way when it comes to rugby. It irks me even more than the pathetic chip so many kiwis have on their shoulders about Australian sport. Anyone want to start a thread about the underarm incident?
The game was lost in 1995. Time to forget it and move on.

Nah. As someone said above it's part of the folklore of the World Cup.
And do you think the anger about sporting injustice is exclusive to us?
Does Australia remember Bodyline? Are the Irish about to give honorary citizenship to Thierry Henry? Have we gone to war over the result of a footy match?
Perhaps it's time to lose the anger, but forget it? Nah. It has a special part in our sporting history.

I don't understand the bit about Thierry Henry. Everyone knows Soccer is for fags.

In 1925 Scotland refused to play the abs because they were still pissed over the split of the gate takings in 1905 . In between the matches there’d been a war involving the whole planet in which millions died, Russia had gone communist, the Ottoman Empire had fallen and the Scots were still harbouring a grudge .

The tone of this post indicates you think holding a grudge is a bad thing. It's not. ESPECIALLY if it's about Scots and money....

Au contraire - I read that as support of holding grudges being all good, and we've got lots to learn.

@jegga given how little we play the Scots, be safe to assume someone still remembers!

The ABs always run scared when it comes to taking on the mighty Scots. It's getting tiresome.
