There's no doubt about it, 2008 had
huge potential to be a massive year for sports. There have been a few
events that are worth a mention and a few that we'd rather forget.
Being as the only factor in sport is winning (we all know it) the
final sports wrap-up for this year will not be short of competition.
This, ladies and gents, is the debate Sporting SmackDown 2008.
The All Blacks vs. The Silver Ferns
The All Blacks have enjoyed outstanding
success this season with wins in the Tri-Nations and Bledisloe Cup,
despite the absence of Robbie Deans (the piker). On top of that, they
put a fair few points on England (who are supposed to be world
champs) this winter, as well as scoring some pretty amazing tries
against Ireland. The Silver Ferns have really impressed in the recent
internationals against England and Aussie, with a few massive wins
over the Poms and a couple of thrillers against the Ockers. It's
been great netball and, on the uniform front, tight black one-pieces
are, apparently, back in fashion. Decent. The All Blacks lost to
both the Saffie's and Australia, including a 2 point loss to the
Africans at Carisbrook. Disappointing. On top of that, they made
their uniform even tighter than last year (thought that'd be
impossible) and lost Daniel Carter for the Super 14. I know that has
nothing to do with the All Blacks but...whatever. The Silver Ferns
have lost, as a percentage, more than the All Blacks, plus they lost
to England who are, for all intents and purposes, absolutely shit.
All Blacks win.
