The All Blacks are not alone in choking

John Drake, Greg Ford, David Leggat, Chris Rattue (huge choke) and Marc Hinton choked just as badly as the All Blacks.

However, unlike the All Blacks, they will not come under anywhere near as much scrutiny because they are not players. They are rugby journalists - so called experts in their field.

Our mainstream rugby writers help shape the opinions of a nation, but when they fail so dismally they need to be accountable.

I could go on and find a heap more media chokers, but you get the point.

Time permitting I will expand on this later.

I think the ABs and Australians should get together for an “informal friendly” while in France. It would be a bit of a flat feel, to be sure, but imagine the ticket sales. I’d be guessing it would be more popular than a Argentina vs England final - at least with all the Southern Hemisphere fans still over there.
