All World Cup All the Time
The New Zealand All Blacks have failed to win the Rugby World Cup since 1987, a dreadful failure in a country when the game is the national obsession. Even England have won more recently... and no-one here has much respect for northern hemisphere rugby. With another World Cup upon us you can't get far in the media without the competition dominating, and the team don't even play a meaningful game till October (I'm assuming they'll dispatch Portugal, Romania, Italy and even my native Scotland with ease). If they don't win this time I'll be interested to see the reaction!
