The N.Z Public only watch international rugby because The All Black’s normally win

I got stuck at the pub last night and had to endure the first half of that dire sporting spectacle: All Blacks versus Argentina. Trust me when I got home – I didn’t waste my lifespan watching the second. I made that mistake in the AB’s game in Sydney. There is of course a natural order in The Rugby Jungle. The TAB summed this farce up nicely: The Pumas stood 1 in 100 chance of winning. After a bit of grunting and grinding things went to plan. The only teams capable of ever winning the Rugby World Cup are: NZ, Aust, SA, England and France. History shows this to be true. After seven tournaments these are the only five countries to make a final. So when second tare countries like say Ireland or Argentina play the All Blacks or Springboks they stand little to no chance of coming away with a win. The only sporting public who can derive any enjoyment out of the 4 nations Rugby Championship are the hard-core AB and Springbok fans. To date there has not been one entertaining game. What child in Argentina is going to give up football to play rugby? What AFL lover in Australia sees rugby as an easy to follow free-flowing game worthy of their attention? What neutral sports lover anywhere on this planet sees rugby as something worth sitting down to watch? But of course the N.Z public don’t care if world rugby is not growing. The N.Z public don’t care if the AB’s rivals are considered a 1 in 100 chance of winning. The N.Z public don’t even care of the standard of rugby is poor and the matches are boring ‘stop start’ to watch. All they care about is the AB’s winning.
