Well, Richie, you weren't the only one disappointed. Oddly enough, one day after the All Blacks shock quarter final depature from the Rugby World Cup, I too am still really disappointed. And I know disappointment - how could this be worse than the 95 heartbreaking loss to South Africa in extra time? Ultimately, the excuses are futile - France played a great game, and we didn't perform when we needed to.

That said, it was an amazing atmosphere in Cardiff, and despite the horror, I'm glad I went. Its obviously much worse to experience a defeat firsthand as it were, but it was truly something to be a part of it.
