New Zealand All Blacks on Track for Rugby World Cup 2011 ?

The All Blacks comprehensive 32-12 defeat of the South African Springboks at Auckland's Eden Park, the opening match in the 2010 Tri Nations, delighted all of New Zealand and a good many neutral observers Queer As Folk DVD. But before New Zealanders get too carried away they need to remind themselves of what has happened at each of the previous five Rugby World Cups when the All Blacks have turned up as hot pre-tournament favourites, only to find a way of losing.Queer As Folk DVD
1991 Rugby World Cup Played in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and FranceHaving won the inaugural Rugby World Cup on home turf, the All Blacks arrived at the first northern hemisphere tournament with high expectations Queer As Folk DVD. But they were undone by eventual champions Australia, 16-6, in the Dublin semi -final.Queer As Folk DVD
The Wallabies, coached by Bob Dwyer, were match-hardened and full of self belief and confidence Queer As Folk DVD boxset; The All Blacks were weakened by internal divisions, undermined by coaching confusion and most importantly lacked any tournament momentum.Queer As Folk DVD boxset
1995 Rugby World Cup Played in South AfricaThere is little doubt that the All Blacks played the best rugby in the tournament, especially in their semi final against England, when sensational winger Jonah Lomu destroyed the opposition single-handedly with four tries Queer As Folk DVD boxset.But the final, against the host nation, was a controversial affair and again ended in bitter disappointment for the New Zealanders Queer As Folk DVD boxset.During the build-up to the final there were reports of a number of the All Blacks' players having had their food poisoned, and during the game they were clearly distressed Queer As Folk DVD boxset. But the home side, inspired by the presence of President Nelson Mandela, went on to a 15-12 victory, after extra time.
1999 Rugby World Cup Played in Wales, England, Ireland, Scotland and FranceThe All Blacks again arrived with high expectations and wonderful pre-tournament form Queer As Folk DVD set. But it was again the Wallabies who emerged triumphant in Cardiff after the All Blacks once more came unstuck at the semi final stage, in one of the most memorable World Cup matches ever Queer As Folk DVD set. Against the French, at Twickenham, the All Blacks looked well in control, taking a comfortable lead in to the half-time break only for the inspired French to hit their opponents with 33 unanswered points.Queer As Folk DVD set
2003 Rugby World Cup Played in AustraliaThe hosts triumphed over the All Blacks in another semi-final, this time in Sydney, the visitors were expected to win. Under pressure, the New Zealanders did not possess the mental toughness to cope with the passion of the home side Queer As Folk DVD set. As in 1999 , there was an element of self-destruction as the All Blacks carelessly conceded an intercept try to give the Wallabies the initiative. Australia went on to lose to England in the final.Queer As Folk DVD set
2007 Rugby World Cup played in FranceA curious preparation and build up, organised by current coaches Henry, Smith and Hansen left the All Blacks ill-prepared and seemingly complacent as they advanced through the pool stages Queer As Folk seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. In their quarter final against France, in Cardiff, they again fell victim to Gallic flair and unpredictability. Although they were not well-served by referee Wayne Barnes, who did not spot a blatant forward pass in the second half which led to a decisive French try.Queer As Folk seasons 1-5 DVD boxset
The Rugby World Cup returns to New Zealand in 2011 Queer As Folk seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. They have been here before, the dominant force in world rugby a year out from a Rugby World Cup, but surely they will not be denied on home soil.Queer As Folk DVD
The Rugby World Cup in New Zealand 2011The All Blacks have flattered to deceive at each of the previous World Cup tournaments Queer As Folk DVD and it possibly seems foolhardy to jump to too many conclusions with a year still to go. But the evidence of the destructive performance against the World Champion Springboks points to the likelihood that this time coaches Henry,Smith and Hansen will have got their selections and preparations spot on.
