Moral victories.

First topic message reminder :

Don't these count anymore?

The RWC was full of them for NH teams.


IMHO England had the moral victory today

NZ u20 and Oz got moral victories over Wales U20 and Scotland purely because if it were fine both would have won. Is that what moral means?

I wouldnt actually know cos we dont often get the chance to win them...must be some moral in the somewhere...

Barney McGrew did it wrote:On our day we can beat anyone morally

Post of the day for me, Barney.

Good shout there BCL

Way too many facts and good logic to argue against. Just blitzes the opposition. Bit like your posts on the haka a few months back, kudos.

Actually, just remembered we missed our quadrennial moral victory last year, what a shame. Suppose it was about time it was France's turn, and many posters on here didn't let them down

I think you will find that NZ have a roughly 25% moral victory rate and a 75% actual victory rate.
So actually NZ very poor at moral victories.
Other countries have a much higher moral victories %.
Well done to them I say.
