The All Blacks

The New Zealand All Blacks are THE rugby team of the world. They are the New York Yankees of international play, always the favorites, have the most talent, most fans and are among the most like and hated teams out there. I am not a huge All Blacks fan but honestly anyone who gets involved in rugby in this country is probably a fan of the All Blacks at some point and for good reason. The All Blacks are not just consistantly one of the top three rugby teams in the world (along with South Africa and a rotation of Australia, Argentina or a handful of British teams), they are also the most self promoting. I don't mean it in a bad way, actually quite the opposite, more videos online circulate about the All Blacks than any other team most of these are user submitted but many also come from the teams own video vaults. Tied directly to a website called Rugby Sportswizards they have a handful of promotional skills videos online.

Its this promotion that has made the team so famous around the world because, like the Yankees, they haven't won a world title in a few years (and, like the Yankees, they probably wouldn't want you to mention that fact).
