    i just watched the wales v new zealand game and i'm at my wits end with watching new zealand constantly constantly going over the top playing offside and a rake of other infringements which the referees just dont call them up on and that is how they get away with murder.if you watch the all blacks vs france in the last world cup the ref calls them on all the tricks that they get up to and they lost.can anyone give me a reason why they get away with it whenever they play.

    They cheat better than anyone else. Richie McCaw is the best cheater in rugby's history, and also the best player. That's no coincidence.

    They're basically impossible for anyone to play.

    i couldnt agree more and as much as the all blacks is a label and brand that is so important to the game i am starting to think what is the point of having the world cup and autumn internationals if you cant play the game in accordance with the rules.there is no point in any of it.

    McCaw gets away with it because he knows before every game where the referee's offside line is.

    Plus he's a class decision maker when it comes to the breakdown.

    You should always play the ref. Munster are absolutely brilliant at it. 2008 Heineken Cup for example.

    Aye, every team try's to play the ref to some extent, so noone is really in a position to criticize the all blacks for it because they are so good at it.

    Seems like a bit of sour grapes to me!
    What will we say about the boks by the end of the AIs? It's time for the NH fans! to man up now and quit the snivelling.

    Oh c'mon buck65, Lets not get into NH vs SH again. I have never seen a NH player complain that they were beaten by a SH side because the SH side were cheating. And I have regularly seen the fans of beaten teams complain about cheating, from the NH and the SH.

    Is it coz they is black?!!

    Nah but seriously i think most teams are guilty of this and if you don't get pinged by the ref right away then of course you are going to continue doing it, playing the ref is just as important as playing the game.

    I agree with you on the latter, surely this thread is a fan moan to begin with ?

    Bingo.

    You have to know how much you can get away with.

    It's not from me. I wish we were as good at cheating as they are. It's how you win the breakdown and thus the game.
