The Vent: Has Richie McCaw lost the moral high ground?

Has Richie McCaw lost the moral high ground following his yellow card this morning? Would the All Blacks have won against Argentina without Sonny Bill Williams?

In our most fired episode of the Vent yet, Tony Veitch and Michael Guerin go over the big sporting issues over the weekend.

Did the All Blacks perform at their best against Argentina?

Guerin: You're doing what every NZ rugby fan does - you're instantly talking about "us". Let's talk about "them" first, they were good, they were passionate, they were bloody good.

Veitch: You don't break down teams at the moment at the Rugby World Cup in the first 50 minutes. It is going to be unbelievably tough.

Did SBW finally prove he is a big game match winner?

Guerin: He's good looking and he's a millennial, I hate him too. So who cares? And women love him, I hate him even more.

Veitch: But he did what we wanted him to do. He's had a pretty average year, but last night or this morning what he did was go out there and change that game.

Guerin: Grant Fox tipped on Friday morning Sonny Bill Williams would have a great start. Grant Fox - he's got the biggest brain in New Zealand rugby. The difference is, our bench is better than anyone else's bench in the world.

Has Richie McCaw lost the total support of the Northern Hemisphere.

Veitch: The big thing about this - you heard the crowd and the crowd were booing him when he did his post match interview on the ground at Wembley in front of 90,000 people - has he now lost the moral high ground in the UK.

Guerin: Well I think he didn't have it in the first place, but what he has done, he's A, provided them with a pantomime villain - if we play England in the final - and more importantly, he's shown that even the greatest and the longest, who's played the most tests, under the pressure of the World Cup strain, things can happen.
