to be fair the kiwis will whoop anyone's ass at rugby. they are pretty much untouchable. even their 2nd team would beat 99% of international sides. i reckon they are so good at it because the spirit of rugby significantly overlaps with the warrior spirit of the maoris.
My point was not the the USA can take the moral high ground more that the UK can't. I don't think anyone can, not even little old NZ, we have done some shody things too.
And by the way I won't stand for anyone complimenting our cricket team. They are terrible, even if they did just CRRRRR-USH england.
