Answer 1

After 20 years and no world cups, it's time to change tactics and use a proven approach. Get some help now from the Coaching Staff of the Black Ferns... Obviously their approach and  World Cup wins speaks for itself......

Answer 2

You'll dream again - i'm sure..but if argentina progress the way they have (2 places a year)..they have the next world cup in the bag.

Answer 3

passion not money is the awnser and country of origin play for the jersey

Answer 4

First of all, excuse my poor english, I'm french and I live in Paris. All I want to say is that Kiwis, for me, are the best players, the real World Cup winners. I was very proud that my team won against you the best players in the world but now I'm sad. I think it's an injustice that New-Zealand win just one World Cup. And in 2007 like so more other years, kiwis are the players who give us the desire to play rugby. Don't change anything, please don't play like english or south africans during the final ! and I hope that in 4 years, in your beautifull country, you will be the World Champions again !

Answer 5

What they need to do for the first time in our world cup losing history is NOT swing the axe.  It is such a knee jerk reaction that has been the almost automatic response of the NZRFU.  All that happened is the referee had a terribly bad game and the all blacks didn't perform to their potential.  That happens sometimes.  The thing is that even though the AB's didn't play to their full potential, they would still have won that game if the ref and the touch judges were on top of their game.  I think Ted Henry, Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith should keep their jobs if they still want them, along with the AB's.  Try and keep as many of the players as possible, decide on a preferred starting line up and stick with it.

Answer 6

they were just unlucky

i think they need to re group and start planning there assult for world cup 2011 maybe blood some youngsters that will be there for 4-8 years and play in the next 2 cups

Answer 7

Play each year at a time and not concentrate on every 4 years.  Just rember some of the players we left behind. Weepu, Nonu, Flavell. Kaino, Braid, Gear etc

Answer 8

Keep the coach and the players that aren't leaving and rebuild they wont make the same mistake.

Answer 9

Onwards and upwards, we dont give up

The only ones complaining seem to be wannabe kiwis and the media

Answer 10

4 years of complete and utter domination of the rugby world, destroying every team who faces us. Then come 2011, its world cup time again. This time it is in our own back yard and we don’t lose there. The rugby world will feel the wrath of the blacks in that tournament. Then all will be well and right in the world of rugby again after decades of turmoil
