Why would you want to win a World Cup playing no rugby, focusing entirely on defence and keeping the other lot out?
If this is what it takes to win a World Cup, New Zealand is better off without the tarnished trophy.
This glittering World Cup is no trophy of excellence. It's been dumbed down to a trophy of the basics ... who can deny longest, who can strangle the opposition, who can stop opponents playing, who can force mistakes from their rivals? That is what is required to win a World Cup in the modern game and New Zealand rugby is better off without such a devalued ambition.
