Want to see how strongly they feel about rugby union in New Zealand? In the wake of Australia's 34-19 win over New Zealand last Saturday, a loss that prompted an apology from the All Blacks, the Kiwi version of the Rugby Heaven news site temporarily changed its name to "Rugby Hell." The stunt has been pulled before, including after New Zealand's shock quarterfinal loss to France in the 2007 World Cup. The temporary logo whas been removed, but whether or not it will stay gone may depend on the outcome of this weekend's rematch with Australia.
Below is a clip of post-match interviews with New Zealand's embattled head coach Graham Henry, star flyhalf Dan Carter, and backs coach Wayne Smith. As you can see, losses go down tough for them.
