Lu and I were both pretty homesick this morning, lets just say there was no hurry to get to work and face the music (Swing Low....) . There aren't even any Aussies on my floor to commiserate with, although there is one rogue Scot! Really missing the process of shared mourning and discussion and (to quote Lu) 'self-flagellation on a national scale'. Love how Anton Oliver offers us a cup of tea with the ABs in no-mans land (what a poet), cos the first thing we did when we got back to the hotel was make a cup of tea, despite a day at the pub!
I really thought we were going to do it, right up to the last 5 minutes. ruggerblogger and Some Foreign Field have really summed it up (as well as Lu below), so I won't go on... It would better not to have shelled out £8 for the commentary radios as they just added to our anger at the reffing decisions (and lack of).
You can put in your 2 cents in at Scrumbag and express your opinion of where it all went wrong.
We had an amazing time at the 5 games we went to. We had a great holiday and it was a fantastic experience. We really loved the French hospitality and bantering with people from all over the world, getting to see our heroes play some stunning rugby.
Thanks to everyone who's put up with us rabbiting on about rugby, hung out with us in France, Scotland and Wales and travelled with us over the past 6 weeks. Thanks to Richie and the boys.... all the best to those moving on and those sticking around. Maybe its a 24-year cycle (oh I feel so old!).
On a positive note, the Kiwi spirit is bouncing back already, with 10 reasons why the loss ain't all bad
Last word - the ABs are still the best looking team in the world, and no-one can take that away!
