Yep,but they don't have 76% record in winning RWC's.
I expect that our boys are going to worry the fuck out of them.

I suspect the scars of multiple failed Bledisloe campaigns will be too much for this Wallaby team to bear going into this test. They will be having relapses of past test matches of seeing Nonu offload, or seeing Retallick knock multiple gold jersies back at the ruck, or Coles running through gold defenders like a back for a try.
The weight of all that will be playing on their minds and they will be worried beyond measure.
I hear someone sent an SMS to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) with a photo of the Bledisloe Cup, just so he knows what it looks like.
This is fun.......

I loved the story of the guy that sent the Wallabies a sign of the Telstra Stadium and a map to the Stadium from downtown Sydney after the 2003 WC final. Just as a reminder that they were actually playing at home......

What was the answer to that Halloween question? Should NZ be scared?

Hmmm...what is our winning ratio against AB's in RWC matches....last time I checked it was 66.67%...and what is our winning record of winning RWC finals at Twickers....
I suggest you loosen that "choke" lead a little.....oh sorry AB's like to choke so don't bother
Yes it is fun....

Nah wrong thinking Sully as if you are 2nd best in the world you want to play against the best and believe you can beat them! We have a chance to beat the AB's and bring back the Bill.
Time to cut this sort of negative thinking and believe we can and will win the RWC....
Time for us Aussies to be more glass half full......

Are those the same records the French were looking at before their semi-final against us?

Last time I checked France did not get to any semi final.....or won any thing of note in last few years. Yes but well done for beating a second tier rugby nation as those games can be tricky to navigate....

Probably post RWC on kiwi TV as given something for kiwis' to enjoy past glories after being soundly beaten on Saturday..

Ahhh yes, the likes of Moore, Pocock and the rest of the squad will be drawing on their past WC glory at Twickers to dig deep.....
It will have zero relevance. But a little ol' must win game 4 years ago, when I read all the same things then, too old for the fast Wallabies etc, may be playing on the mind of a few of them.

I'm fairly sure what happened 4 years ago will not be playing on the mind of anyone on the field, even the AB's!
I think the biggest mental hurdle would be the fact that they are playing in a RWC Final, one win away from the biggest win of their lives and one loss away from the worst loss.

Sorry - SA (you - know - that 2nd tier country) were probably looking at their 2 -1 record against us in RWC
France was looking at their quarter-final history against us. Same opponent, same venue etc etc.
Funnily enough, for all of the 'Pool of Death' talk - 2 of the 4 semi-finalists came from our pool and 1 came close to knocking Aussie out of the RWC after they dealt to the hopeless English and scrapped past the injury-ravaged Welsh.

Eh? Scotland were the only team that has pushed us, and they weren't in your pool. But Georgia were. How come your mob didn't put 50 on them?
