Quality performance and about time NZ

Pretty sure you've just become a parody of yourself now.

With due respect to that, I have been a big knocker of them cause I believe they either over talk their ability or rave about beating teams they should beat. I still view the benchmark as going to England, Australia and South Africa and performing there (and by performing, I don't necessarily mean win, but to not fold like a house of cards). Then you can rave about what a world class team they are. 

In the face of that, you can't deny that performance was a mauling and it would be stupid not to acknowledge that for what it was. They are a team on fire and got the result they deserved.

Can you please point to the last time this team raved about themselves?  And no, i'm not talking about media "commentators" getting carried away prematurely, but the actual team or management?  I really don't think that is a fair thing to level at this side.
