New Zealand got of to a good start in the 2007 RWC. Will they choke again like 1991, 1995, 1999 & 2003?

Question

Each time they look to hold up the cup the drop out. Why? To much pressure or expectation?

Answer 1

its a big call to say they choked in 95 they were poisoned before the game (suzy the chef ) then went on to play one of the greatest world cup finals ever!! to lose by an extra time drop goal. however 91, 99, and 03, I think they did choke 03 no thanks to there crooked coachng staff. No excuses though they did cave under the pressure But my friends this year they are so well prepared and have such great depth that this will be their year! the key is their depth while the war of attrition is going on in other pools they will emerge unscathed and have 30 fresh top line players for the semis then final. they will be defending champs at home in 2011 for sure!

Answer 2

This IS the year of The Kiwi.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

They haven't got the staying power!! Get too arrogant and loose it.

Anyway a good start? They played Italy - with all respect to the Italians - an easy game.

Lets see what they can do against one of the stronger teams
