Kiwi rugby fans: Who would you rather beat, England or Australia?
I saw a question on here asking the Welsh whether they would rather beat Enngland or NZ and thought it was a damn good question. So my question is, Kiwi's, who would you rather the AB's beat, the Poms or Ockers? (Or rephrased, who would you least prefer to lose to?)
Personally, after living in the UK for 5 years, I hate losing to England becuase they rub your nose in everything forever and a day despite how many hidings they might get in the meantime.

The poms may rub your nose in it, good on them, spoils to the victors. The Aussies not only do the same they also lay claim to anything or anybody that comes from NZ who has made a name for themselves. I.E. Phar Lap, Split Enz, oh and of course pavlova. The only reason they have not laid claim to the AB's is, they can't because the AB's continue to beat the Wallabies on the world stage. Pretty hard to steal them with the world watching.
So the short answer to the question is I would rather beat the Aussies so as not to give them the oppurtunity to steal the AB's.

id rather beat the ockers lol. its great to beat england but it happens too often. beating australia is more of a challenge. plus aus is right next door.. and they'll definitely rub it in our noses lol. if we lost to england.... well... at least they're further away.

There is no shame in losing to Australia as they have been a good team in the last 20 years. But losing to England!! Aghhhhh, that is a fate worst than death. Why? Because they are (fans & journalists) are all talk, and they think they are better than everyone else. Having said that, I have always admired Neil Back, Guscott, Johnson, Dalleigo, & Will Carling.

we rather would beat Aussie, cos at least, we know it will be a good hard game.
The Englishcheat,& bleat and grizzle after, where as the Aussie`s have a bit of go in the press, before the game, to try and get an edge, but they don`t bleat after, they just go away, regroup and try harder next time.
When Aussie`s play anyone other than the All Blacks, most Kiwi`s i know are on their side.

OZ any day, we beat the Poms that often I sometimes wonder why we even bother playing against them,we could send one of our regional teams to play against them and still beat the pants off them but with the OZ's you have to play at your best for 80 minutes sometimes even longer and they could still beat us. That's why we love playing them because it's a challenge...
