One New Zealand newspaper really didn't take the All Blacks defeat to England well.
The New Zealand Herald printed a black front page with the sole sentence: "The All Blacks are out of the World Cup. If you want to read more go to the sport section."
The All Blacks suffered their first Rugby World Cup loss in 12 years as they were defeated by a dominant England side in the semi-finals in Yokohama, reports Wales Online.
The All Blacks missed out on a chance of winning a third consecutive World Cup as Eddie Jones' men produced a near-complete performance to inflict a first defeat at the tournament for the Kiwis in 18 matches.
Dylan Cleaver, writing in the New Zealand Herald said: "It stings a little bit, like undiluted Dettol on an open sore. The fact that it's an England side coached by an Australian makes it worse, no doubt.
"Let's give magnanimity a go – we haven't tried it in this situation for a while (since 1995 probably, and even that was tempered by the enigma of Susie the Waitress).
"You sense this is rugby's next great rivalry. It's about time that England came to the party with all their resources and bluster.
"Not that it will give New Zealanders much solace right now."
