John Hart did not appoint himself as coach of the All Blacks. He got the job because of his previous record and his experience and at that time he was the best man for the job in New Zealand. All his dreams were shattered in seconds in the semi-final against France and that's the way sport goes. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. There has to be a loser so that there can be a winner.
Nobody likes to lose but in a game like rugby there are too many variables.
Nobody can expect that because nobody is invincible. I think that this World Cup came at the right time for rugby because it has been able to identify major areas of concern in our game that has to be addressed immediately. Those who are running world rugby at the moment should be held responsible and they should not be allowed to hide behind closed doors and protect each other any more. Much has been written in the press about the format, marketing. It has become more and more difficult for the referees.
