What will you do?

Directed at the NZ fans but the neutrals can weigh in to..

What will you do if NZ lose?

a) Break something
b) Kick the cat
c) Blame the ref
d) Congratulate France and get on with your life

If NZ Win?

a) Go on to every rugby blog known to mankind and spam them
b) Have a quiet beer and toast the lads
c) Figure that it was NZ's turn and that the ABs do well in home world cups
d) Nod your head and make one obligatory post on CW.
e) Not give a toss

D and B tbh. But it would be a loud beer. Wouldn't mind if we lost, I'd enjoy the fall out too much.

Obviously I'd be disappointed if we somehow contrived to lose, but I certainly hope I'd avoid acting out (a) - (c) in the first part of your question. Probably fit into both (b) and (c) in your second category.

Reflects my thoughts exactly.

Kick a cat? Why would I wait until New Zealand lose to do that? Scum.

If we lose, both A and D.

If we win, B (but loud).

I think New Zealanders had no business blaming the ref in 2007. It was a marginal call made in a blink of an eye.

But we did blame the ref -

And we blamed a waitress in 1995

We have a poor record for this sort of thing

I am not venturing outside of the house if we lose - will wait for the world to calm down.

I got dropped from my rugby team in Canada for a week as punishment for not showing up the game in 2003 - it was the same day as the world cup semifinal - and I couldn't leave the house.

Laugh for the first one and not really care for the second.
