I was thinking "Missed it by that much" for the quote, that is. Though, obviously, I don't fit into the average age range.

"All Blacks" it is.

You lot have to understand culture in rugby, never change any teams name. It go from generation to generation.

They must like fat Antipodeans with big mouths, those Welshies. Gatland has a fair old pie-hole too...

I don't think he crassly insults a nation they are about to play though?

Wouldn't mind it if Johnson was good enough to back it up but clearly he wasn't.

Got many World Cups, Enzedder? Nah, thought not.

Only 1 less than you - soon to be fixed (I hope, fingers crossed, touch wood etc).
Anyway, it's not all about world cups (is it?). I reckon you're just using that to deflect a 10 nil current scoreline.

No, he just whines incessantly.
Johnson was the Clown prototype for PdV - even had clown hair. Was not a fan.

OK, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going with either "The Evil Doers" or "The Axis of Blackness".

Seems that we Gaggerlanders seem to prefer The All Blacks (AB's) or The Darkness.

Interestingly that most of those who voted for "The All Blacks" seem to be aligned to New Zealand. No surprise there.

"The Darkness" seemed to be favoured by Wallaby supporters.

Some reasonable support for "The New Zealand Rugby Team" (NZRT), The (Van Humphries favourite word) driven by what I suspect was a hard core of Bledisloe Cup frustration driven Gaggerlanders, and The Sheep Shaggers with support seeming to come from those who just like having a go against kiwis.

Given the recent behaviour by our mungoballers in Canberra, the latter nickname is a little to close to describing their behaviour, so I would suggest that this is not mentioned for a while for fear of guilt by association.
