After the All Blacks choking at three straight Rugby World Cups they finally got it right and won one. Thankfully the Kiwi Americas Cup team, understanding how much the sporting choke is so much a part of Kiwi culture have reintroduced it in the Americas Cup in San Francisco Bay. Adding to the experience is losing to an American boat skippered and crewed by Australians. ;D ;D

The Kiwi boat was running dead...check out how much they won on the bookies.
It was only done to pay off the national debt.
-
firko, there were oz on the Kiwi boat as well, but it is all ways good to beat those NZ's
-
To me it smells of a rat.....both boats built by Kiwi's in NZ, only 1 American crewmember on the USA boat....the yanks seem to change the rules as it goes along.....to be winning 8-1 and then loose 9-8, how much where the bookies making?.....smellier then a prawn that's been left in the sun for 2 weeks......I wonder when Steven Danks name will get mentioned?
-
....the yanks seem to change the rules as it goes along....
Yup. In one Americas cup (immediately post war) the yanks at the last minute implemented a rule that stated all materials used on the boat had to be manufactured in the entrants country. Britain, bankrupt and still reeling from the war, could not manufacture nylon so that team had to use canvas sails. Game over.

Rich mans sport,no one cares over here ::)
We are too busy polishing our trophies i.e. the RWC, and a fairly insignificant trophy we contest with a once mighty country, that is now a sporting weakling, you may of heard of it.
I think its called the Bledisloe Cup ????.........
-
Do we NZders still hold the Rugby League world cup too?,gee that was a choke last time round :oay Billy Slater ;)
cheers Dale.

-
At the end of the day we (Aust/NZ) really won.....both boats designed and built in NZ, only one septic tank crewmember between both boats...shit, the only thing they supplied was San Francisco Bay.....strange shit that sailing jigger......rich mans bullshit....Downunder rules.
-
Craig - nah - much smarter than that - and you ;D

Keep talking it up Craigo once we get that off you in 2025 you will really start whinging!!
-
Shano good to see you are alive mate - when are you coming over for a vmx race brother ?
Rosco who ?
-
Can someone go around to uncle Firko's place and check on him.....the Bunnies have just choked....I was going for the poor buggers, I like an under-dog....I hate Manly......Go Newcastle.
-
Don't be worrying too much about Firko, he's had forty odd years of disappointment following those wabbits. Manly showed great character tonight and were clearly the better team. It won't matter who they play next week either, they will beat either one of them!!
Go Manly 8) 8)
-
Don't worry Uncle Firko at least you have the Wallabies and Australian cricket team to rely on.......
Who's the chokers now???? ;D
-
I think Firko is on the biggest/longest loosing streak ever.....don't get him to back your team, he'll put the mockers on it......he must have run over a bus load of chinamen.....go guy a lotto ticket Mark, your bad luck must be going to turn soon.
-
What's making the pain worse for me is that my two most hated teams Manly and Easts will most probably play in the Grand Final. Fluck it. I've got Bazza Jolley here right now so let me enjoy the Kiwi yacht choke and feast on the fact that losing streaks always come to an end. Now.....fluck off and leave me alone.
-
yeah Craig - Fluck off and leave him alone.
-
There's always next year Uncle.
Rosco get back to your lady boys and leave us grown ups to the man talk.
-
geez I have heard some BS in my time but mentioning grown ups and you in the same sentence Craig - c'mon!
;D
