Only All Blacks fans could be upset with that win record

Fans of New Zealand are still wearing "long faces", despite a truly dominant decade of rugby.

This is according to a new article from the NZPA, which points out that an 82 per cent win record, 100 Test victories, an annihilation of the British & Irish Lions and six Tri-Nations titles are still not enough to satisfy followers of the All Blacks.

The team also set a world record streak of 30 straight wins on home turf and have been the number one ranked team on the planet for much of the ten-year period, but none of this seems to matter to their 'supporters', as they failed to win either of the two world cups that were up for grabs.

Over on Green and Gold Rugby this month, Australian fans have been celebrating the best of a decade that has been distinctly average compared to that of their neighbours down under.

Which could make you think the New Zealanders should appreciate what they did achieve and stop moaning.
