They love to tear down almost as much as building up.

They do it with the All Blacks too.

I think the All Blacks have made NZers a little bit arrogant and unrealistic as sports fans. 

I also see a tendency for Kiwi's to go out of their way to appear impartial, when in reality what they're really doing is being biased against their own - eg when I watch NZ Super Rugby refs officiate, they seem to love giving the benefit of the doubt to the overseas teams but not the home side.

Just my opinion.
