To all the Aussie cry babies
Stats say All Blacks don't get 'special treatment'
By Sam Hewat

With great dominance comes great scrutiny.
The All Blacks have learned to accept that, and now gain life and energy off the opprobrium of opponents.
Now, they're so dominant, teams just want excuses.
Once again, the "special treatment" debate has resurfaced. As if to explain why the All Blacks are as good as they are.
Case and point being Owen Franks, who has dominated the media for the past week. His alleged eye gouge quickly dismissed by Sanzaar despite many believing a case should have been brought forward. Whether or not you believe that, others have been a lot more critical calling this a common occurrence throughout recent All Blacks history.
However, a quick look at the stats shows the boys in black are far from favoured.
