Les All Blacks ont partagé un moment sympa sur leurs réseaux sociaux ce vendredi, à la veille du dernier match de Rugby Championship, face à l’Australie.

Une partie des joueurs a arpenté les rues de Wellington pour distribuer des cadeaux estampillés All Blacks aux passants médusés.

On voit ainsi le massif Pasilio Tosi aborder un groupe de trois garçons, et offrir un maillot au seul qui n’en a pas, imité par Patrick Tuipoluto quelques instants plus tard.

Ou Dalton Papali’i surgir d’un van pour passer une écharpe au cou d’un supporteur des Wallabies hilare et repartir aussi sec, puis s’assoir à la terrasse d’un café avec une dame…

Un moment de partage vraiment réjouissant pour des All Blacks dans le dur sur ce Rugby Championship (deux victoires et trois défaites jusqu’à présent).

Peut-être aussi une manière de conjurer le sort : Nouvelle-Zélande – Australie se jouera au Sky Stadium de Wellington, une ville où ils n’ont gagné aucun des six derniers matchs disputés…

Johnny Sexton: 'So much for their humility'

I don't think NZers appreciate how damaging NZs behaviour after the final whistle was to relations between the two rugby nations. This is not sour grapes, we lost in 2019 and have lost many times to NZ with no issues.

But if you are throwing abuse at the Irish captain, calling him a c**t, or Retallick abusing POM with '4 more years' (idiotic because NZ could have been and were eliminated) AFTER the whistle and follow it by derogatory gestures to the Irish crowd, then you have some serious questions to answer. Foster and Cane were given the opportunity to address this at the post match press conference but they doubled down on Ioane's actions. Therefore Ioane's actions were NZ rugby's position.


Any attempt to compare or excuse NZs actions after the final whistle in Paris with POMs sledging of Cane in the rugby series are dishonest and disingenious. POM sledged Cane at the end of a scuffle. Words are exchanged in almost every game in rugby. NZs issue with Ireland was beating them in the series. That's what hurt.


NZ issue with Ireland wasn't POM and Cane. It was Ireland dealing NZ the series defeat. That hurt x 1000 times more.


What Ioane and other NZ players did after the final whistle in Paris literally has never happenned in RWC history. Never. NZ disgraced themselves. In their AB website they describe themselves as 'superstars' and 'humble heroes'. I think they don't understand the meaning of the word humble.


Imagine if Ioane did this to SA fans after a defeat to NZ. The push back would be enormous, he would probably have to publicly apologize. The difference here is that NZ could get away with it against Ireland which shows the integrity and humuilty vacum with them at least under Foster.


Sexton has every right to believe that Ireland were the best team in the tournament and could have won. Anyone from NZ or SA calling him arrogant for believeing that is being dishonest. EVERY SA player and EVERY NZ player believe this in every RWC. Ireland earned the right to believe it and I am beyond caring what NZers opinion is on the matter.
