Times Online writer Patrick Kidd, who compiled the list, said the All Blacks could have featured on the list more than twice.
“It may be cruel to include the All Blacks twice in this list, but has self-belief and potential ever exploded so often, so predictably? As well as 1999 and 2007, we could include the World Cups in 1995 (damn that food poisoning), 1991 (two moments of brilliance by David Campese) or 2003 (averaged 62 points per game until the semi-final then blew it against Australia). How will they self-destruct on home soil in 2011?â€
