The New Zealand national rugby team.

No rugby team has beaten the All Blacks more times than the All Blacks have beaten them in 120 years of existence.

They are the most successfully rugby team of all time. Most countries in the world have never even beaten them once. Examples are: Scotland, Ireland, Samoa, Fiji, Italy etc. none of these countries have beaten the All Blacks in a single game in 120 years of trying!

Greatest rugby team in the world. Represent New Zealand. Many teams aspire to be as great as them but fall short. Last won the World Cup in 1987. Good rivals with the Wallabies (Australia)

Errata Corrige: In my last entry I stated that the All Blacks had lost around 1 in 5 of their last 40 games. They have in fact lost only 6 of the last 41 (an average of 1 defeat every 6.83 matches). An incredible record by anyone's standard.

Wonderful, entertaining Rugby Union team who represent New Zealand. Composed of players of New Zealand and Pacific Islands origins. Name comes from misquote of journalist who had described the players as seeming to be "all backs" because of their size. Have won 8 out of 12 Tri-Nations series (Australia 2, South Africa 2), including 3 Grand Slams (South Africa 1 Grand Slam). Excellent but not unbeatable team who over the last 40 matches have lost around 1 in 5 (to Australia, New Zealand, France). Whitewashed the British and Irish Lions in the 2005 test series (won all 3 matches). Came behind South Africa, England, Argentina and France in the 2007 Rugby World Cup (along with Australia, Fiji and Scotland). Won Rugby World Cup once in 1987 and losing finalists in 1995. World Cup record not as good as Australia (winners 1991, 1999 and runners up 2003), South Africa (winners 1995, 2007) or arguably England (winners 2003, runners-up 1991, 2007). Represent the only country, apart from Wales, where rugby union is an integral part of the national character and identity.

Best damn Rugby team on the face of the planet.

the epitome of rugby success, the yardstick by which all other countries measure themselves, and they all fall short

To crumble under pressure, as the All Blacks have done at the previous 5 Rugby World Cup.

The All Blacks (the New Zealand national Rugby Union team) are unfortunately, probably the greatest side in the history of the game. They have certainly won more than anyone else.

I say unfortunately because, well, they come from New Zealand, and are therefore primarily composed of sheep shaggers. Admittedly, jealousy is what makes me bring that up, but it remains a valid point.

Marked by a curious lack of good finishes in world cups.

an insult meaning: to fail to perform under pressure, particularly in a sporting event.
to choke under pressure.
a choker.
loser.
