All Blacks Lose to France - Let the blame game begin
October 7th, 2007
All Blacks lose to France and drop out of the Rugby World Cup 2007 in the quarter-final. Ouch, isn’t that the worst result yet?
So how do New Zealand deal with losing what most consider to be “our cup”. They blame someone else. This is what New Zealand does best.
Don’t get me wrong, the referee did a terrible job in the first half, and that second French try was from a forward pass, but the All Blacks just didn’t step up. The French were dogged in defense but are an unremarkable team. These guys got whipped by Argentina remember!
Today it will be the referee, but in the coming weeks, the coaches will start to be brought into the blame game. The controversial rotation policy will be touted as a major strategic mistake, and some serious questions will be asked about the decision to leave Doug Howlett out of the game.
