Had a quiet chuckle and sent this to my mate in Auckland

"Rumours are surfacing in the rugby world that the New Zealand Rugby Union may take extraordinary measures to ensure the host nation wins this year's World Cup. "

Shame , you got to consider the people... and their feelings...

Love it!

Ive just come over all Schadenfreude..........

Most amusing

Obviously an totally inaccurate story. I mean they use the phrase 'Premium Fish and Chips'

Now, if that was a quote from a Kiwi then surely it would be 'Premium Fush and Chups'

Hahahaha

If NZ go early, perhaps we could lend the kit to England and save them the money on purchasing their away gear?

GG, that was funny!!!

Well we're still grateful to the RFU for lending out Twickenham. Some kind of koha is in order I think.

England will have already purchased their away strip as they need to play in it against Argentina earlier in the tournament.

sigh.

Yes nottins, you are right. I can't believe I didn't think of that.

GG -

Suzie is on standbye,beware the Salmonella pies.!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH your so funny...

I guess every team in the tournement should take their own rugby balls, just incase NZ do get knocked out early and take their balls home with them.

Seeing that they wont be playing any more.

What a bizarre story! Totally fabricated, but why?!

Wouldn't be surprised if it was actually true.

Because it's the East Terrace.

Nottins, just googled East Terrace, and now it all makes sense. Thankyou.

Most generous GG! Chuck in your away kit and we've basically got our home kit as well :-)

Think that about nails it. And Taylorman, agreed, from an outsider looking in it's a funny blog.

The East Terrace is wonderful; google threw this up.

That's brilliant Notch.

Would you think I'm crazy if I admitted that that line of thinking was partly responsible for my retiring from rugby? Obviously it didn't just hit me during one ruck, but I suppose eventually, after years of rugby, most of us start to wonder why we're bothering putting our bodies on the line when we've got kids, money, health, relaxation, etc. to worry about.
