    I don't get it.

    They are still the World champs. Losing the 3N doesn't change that.

    They aren't as full of themselves as they were when they won, now that they have lost the 3N

    I guess there's an implicit suggestion that the world champions should be the best team in the world, though the All Blacks find new and exciting ways to disprove that every 4 years

    that in one year they have gone from undefeatable to losing games on home soil against teams that got knocked out in the 1/4s

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

    they were still losing those games last year. They did a Stephen Bradbury to win it. Their World Chumps, them being the actual world champs just gives the dissappointment they dish up more exposure. I don't know how saffer supporters can hold their heads high and say "but we're the world champs" when they usually dish out mediocrity by the bucket load

    i just dont see how a country can be proud of under achievers

    I've gone through this with Dockers supporter mates of mine and if Results aren't delivered by the Force this year I think we will all be entitled to ask questions

    jargs, don't be too hard on all of them. my saffas are embarassed by their team (although all of my saffas were at the durban game hehe so i guess they are the ones who know embarassment best). but all of the supporters i know in saffaland are not terribly proud of the boks efforts this season.

    and if we were in the saffas position, im pretty sure i would be saying 'we won the last world cup' ahead of 'we finished last in the trinations'

    A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

    I'm only hard on other supporters becasue I am hard on my teams

    I would'nt be saying "well we won the world cup" i'd be asking questions such as "How we could win the world cup then suck so badly the following year"
