The All Blacks and Wallabies deserve to make the final.
I am a plastic Kiwi. That is to say that while I am a New Zealander, I live and work in Australia and will probably never move back to New Zealand.
However, something that I will never leave is my undying passion for the mighty All Blacks. They are the most winningest team in any sport ever. From a humble population of four million, we have 15 rugby gods.
Fallible? Of course. Perfect? Nope. Heroes? In my eyes, yes.
But I have come to love the Wallabies as well. It’s tough being an Australian union fan. With cricket, AFL, league, swimming and a myriad of other sports to draw talent away from union, Pickings can be slim.
On the television in New Zealand rugby union features in the headlines. While in Australia the sport is lucky to be fifth in the news.
You have to admire the tenacity and passion of those who play union. It’s special and I am enamoured with the Australian spirit.
Argentina are improving. The benefits of involvement in the Rugby Championship are evident. What Los Pumas did against Ireland what fantastic and had me jumping and cheering. But that was the Argentinian’s final. The Wallabies need to put Los Pumas to the sword, and they deserve to. The Green and Gold have been the form team of the tournament and need to be in the final.
South Africa are gaining momentum. After the shaky start against Japan the Springboks are looking menacing. There is every chance the Boks might get up over the All Blacks but again the Darkness deserve to make the final – they have been the form team of the decade.
If only it was so simple, if only it could be opined and then made so.
The mouth-watering prospect of an All Blacks versus Wallabies final is captivating indeed.
C’mon the All Blacks, c’mon the Wallabies.
May it be so.
