Good point being made but the All Blacks still won and were easily the best team in the tournament. John Key does have an incentive to win big. And that is to defeat the Labour Party permanently as a viable political party. It nearly happened in 1990 but Bolger chickened out and gave the old girl some life. But the Clark years finished that sentiment especially after the corruption and the arrogance – which is still there.

The french only won after they effectively rolled their Coach.

Will Goff get rolled? It’s too late for that.

Thing is it was only ever journalists who wrote the All Blacks up as too strong…the team captain was always wary. Same with Key. Complacency can be dangerous but arrogance is a killer, and Key has gone to some lengths to avoid both.

I’d lay off the wacky backy if I were you. While John Key continues to smile and wave, and tell porkies, the Labour Party will be around for quite some time.
