This Test Is the All Blacks to lose.

This test is the AB's to lose? I am brimming with confidence from what I read about how NZ appear to be daunted by the Boks ... this is exactly the 'perfect' position the AB's need to be in. Yet again there are punters doubting the power of the AB's. What many fail to realise is - when the AB's are labelled as 'underdogs', thats when they move into demolition mode - remember France last year on their own turf? Sure the Boks are an extremely formidable unit, BUT hey,the AB's and their legacy will prevail ... that is why NO OTHER rugby nation on the planet has a better win-loss ratio as the Men in Black. New Zealanders were born to rule the world when it comes to Rugger. Our history in the sport justifys this. OK we haven't won a World Cup since '87 and we may fall at the final hurdle next year(lets keep that option open -though hope it doesn't come to that), but consistency has been a gift handed down from the Rugby gods and instilled in our 'phsyche' despite the evolvement of the modern game. This is the legacy that goes with donning the 'black' of NZ. This is what sends 'shivers' down the spines of players, management and fans. The MIGHTY ALL BLACKS is a brand name based on 'mana', 'pride' and 'committment'. It emphasises the fighting cultural spirit of New Zealand as a people. Who would dare to come to Aotearoa and lay 'challenge' against OUR legacy. This Saturday is when Pakeha, Maori & Pacific Islanders (New Zealanders) form as one unit to defend, repel and protect our proud rugby heritage against one of, if not the biggest adversary in Rugby - the Springboks. A big heart will always beat a big man! Kia ora ... Kia Kaha AB's!
