Well they didn’t exactly do it in style but the All Blacks did overcome any demons that threatened to thwart their quest to become ‘champions’ rather than ‘chokers’. They hardly thrived on the pressure of playing in the Rugby World Cup final, but they did show great character in overcoming a rejuvenated French side that came close to destroying an entire nation’s pride.
Congratulations to Graham Henry. I know that this has been his dream for a very long time.
