Congrats to Fiji but the more interesting thing than NZ losing to tiny islands 2 weeks in a row is the tryless game! 20 years of watching the sport and I've never seen one.
What a weird, messy, gripping and fascinating game that was.
I played in a 0-0 grand final
17 years old
Extra time

Joint premiership was awarded.

I'd like to hear @Bobby DIGital have his say on this..

Well, I admit that I became too emotionally invested in this situation after the defections. I'm a proud NZer and I became angry, defiant and combative when the general consensus was that we were going to lose to tier 2 nations. My patriotism kicked in and overpowered my RL sense. I now realize I should have stuck to my original opinion in regards to Kidwell/Blair being detrimental to our success.

I can only hope that somehow we rise from the ashes, although I will never expect that with any great confidence.

I shall never stop supporting the black n white though. Kiwi from the womb to the tomb.
