Hi all, Kiwiredevil here.

It's my pleasure to announce that Canterbury of New Zealand have chosen a winner in our "I love rugby because ... " quote competition. So congratulations mckay1402, for his quote:
I love rugby because even with all the pride and passion on the pitch we can still have a beer together afterwards.
Mckay will receive the official Russia Rugby World Cup 2011 Test Jersey manufactured by CCC, and signed by the team.

Runner up (sorry no prize, but some reflected glory and bragging rights) went to Bathman in London with
I love rugby because.... of the mutual respect between players and fans around the world, despite what happens on the pitch

I'd like to thank Canterbury for both providing the prize and judging the competition. After the unfortunate incident at Wembley Tuesday night CCC felt that both the winning and runner up entries had an extra poignancy, and that they highlighted one of the best things about rugby culture globally.

Canterbury of New Zealand been manufacturing rugby jerseys for well over a century now. They are the Official Sportswear Supplier for the Rugby World Cup 2011, and are supplying 5 teams playing in the Rugby World Cup - check out Canterbury's Rugby World Cup range - Click for Canterbury Shop

I would have to disagree slightly with Yappy. While Canterbury's clothing is of high quality and very reasonably priced, working only part-time means it is not affordable for someone like myself. Therefore I would very much appreciate any free stuff. Thanking you kindly. Wink

I love rugby because it brings people together under the banners of mutual respect, friendly competition and fair play. I love openside flankers because they'll still bend the laws to breaking point in spite of all that.

Just to let everyone know, I have forwarded the answers to Canterbury to judge. I have not told them who submitted what and have included the entries by the moderation team too - they shouldnt be disallowed from entry due to their work on the board (I have discounted myself though (even though my entry was the best and I would love the prize!)

Canterbury will be choosing the winner - all I have done is forward the answers as this is the fairest way.

As soon as I hear back, I will let you know who wins.

good luck to everyone.

In the remotest possibility that I win the competition, I'd gladly donate the shirt to v2 to auction it on ebay or whatever.

V2 is doing great stuff in the RU community.
