Why? The Crusaders were stacked full of All Blacks. They went to Sydney
as defending champions, having won 4 of the last 5 exchanges, 12 months
after posting 90+ points, the season after sweeping all other Super 12
teams before them. Surely there must have been *some* expectation that
the Crusaders would win in Sydney? I've heard of home advantage Scabs,
but not a 90 point one. And lets not forget that the Waratahs went into
this match having lost three of its last four *home* matches.

If we accept your argument, then where does that leave Thorne as far as
leading the All Blacks against England? Historically, the ABs *always*
(well almost always) beat England at *home*.  What does it say about his
captaincy as far as leading the Crusaders to lose an away match that
the Crusaders have historically *always* won? e.g. the bulls.

Oh settle down Scabs. It wasn't *me* that got caught telling porkies.
