Oh Oh Tragedy !! - defined as any event with a sad and unfortunate outcome. There are dozens of words to describe the All Black defeat. Calamity - disaster etc etc.
What can I say - the Ref was pathetic, the IRB who won't allow linesmen to point out a forward pass are pathetic, the Referees Appointment Board who appointed a man who has only ref'd one test of any significance (France- Italy) - the other 5 all being the Pacific Five Nations , pathetic etc etc.
Then again, we should have won even allowing for that.
Was it Rotation? Who knows, but the coaching team will have to go. That is the price of failure in N.Z.
But the Cup itself is great with England showing that the scrum is an integral part of the game; Argentina have been a revalation; Georgia great and Fiji another surprise package. My thoughts a week ago was no Northern Hemispere teams but now it could be no Southerners although I am sure South Africa will be there.
