Rugby World Cup
If the All Blacks win (and hopefully they will) my big concern is that although we are poor losers I would hate to think that we are poor winners.
I was disappointed to hear that a number of fans said that there was a lot of gloating last weekend after we bet Australia.
When will we learn to be gracious in victory as well as in defeat?
