Anti-All Black Club (AABC) members are having a good old-fashioned laugh, thanks to Tri-Nations bad winners, sulky smug New Zealand, who have lobbed charges of spying at Australia after their surprise victory in the final on Saturday.Springbok experts who have regularly witnessed these Kiwi shenanigans explain that New Zealand had probably prepared their stock-standard 'good excuse routine' for their expected loss in Brisbane and after a surprise victory merely decided it was too good to just let lie after they bucked the script.The Kiwis have accused an Aussie television channel of spying on their training sessions and handing this to Wallaby coach Robbie Deans ahead of the final. This has to be a sure thing for this year's 'Whine-O Awards' and I think that this is not sport at all, it is more like kabuki of the insane.Kabuki is a form of traditional Japanese theatre. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylisation of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers. Kabuki is sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing." The word kabuki is believed to derive from the verb kabuku, "to be out of one's mind", so kabuki can be interpreted to mean "bizarre" theatre.When it comes to elaborate 'make up', the Kiwis are Oscar winners and they make bizarre look ordinary if you think of what they've done to the term 'bitter losers'. Sore winners? Bitter champions? I don't know. What do they put into the water in New Zealand?

Thanks for the award Greg, we'll put it alongside all the other trophies in New Zealand rugby. That World Cup must be lonely, or does it sit on Peter De Villiers home sex video shelf......

It is very easy to see the jealousy ouzing out of your article. Well done the ABs on taking the title for the 9TH TIME.
