You think?

Just chuckled at a rather understated headline on the RWC website: "New Zealand too strong for Romania". Ummm, was that ever in doubt? They seem surprised, as though we could have perhaps expected a different headline: "Close contest between New Zealand and Romania", "Clash of the Titans: New Zealand vs Romania", or perhaps "Romania catch New Zealand in second half".

Actually, I think the poor writers over there are running out of ways to say defeated, triumphed, overwhelmed, conquered, trounced, annihilated, destroyed, made mincemeat of, crushed, vanquished, whitewashed... Well, there are a few new ideas right there.

To be fair, Romania did score a lone try. To New Zealand's slightly "stronger" 13...
