Fair call take the piss (groans can I say I was pre-men-struddle?) you're a rugby player now and I was so we're kinda brother and sister now. The showers will be a little interesting but on a cold day here's a tip, pull up lame 5 minutes before the final whistle, the hot water is yours.
Toa wahine, perfectly capable of fighting and able to lead the haka if they had the mana and some did. -
On reflection, I withdraw the Alabama analogy, bad form and someday I will have to be in Christchurch again and I may meet up with a circumcising, pron discussing female rugby team and have to state my case and well frankly, it's looking a little dodgy right now.
Soooo, whose going to be the flankers? -
Arguing with the ref is one thing, attempting to argue with a pregnant woman...

Does anyone know why Christchurch?
I'm fighting my cynicism but fear that the sponsors may have felt they could contain (stage) the arrival easier in Christchurch. Like the spontenaneous haka, paid for I hear, nah just kidding. But hows this for a damning article re NZR(F)U,

I left out the bit about my Great Aunts houses being sacked in Berlin by the Russians and all the family records including photo albums destroyed, and their daughters sent to Russia for re-education. Because you know that would be too heavy but explains why I hate nationality stereo typing with a vengeance, and you know the war, that war affected us all and some still, today.
My son (who has a German middle family name) told me of his school's religious instructor's hate speech of the Germans regarding WW2, it reminded me of the early scenes in All Quiet On The Western Front.
Lest We Forget. (and that meant all the fallen, all sides, and should also include the civilians as well). -
I say Alabama (bit clunky but hey I'm still reeling from another thread) because I know there is a staunch fundy element in Christchurch who tithe and hold dear old testament values like, wife as property so the odd clip round the ear is a husbands right. If you read the old book (and I have for the most part, sigh) and you can get past the female bashing, then talk with some of Christchurch's stalwarts who worship said book (and I have) and you know, thank goodness for our democracy because these people would undermine it in a Nobel prize winning nano second.

California Uber Alles (Dead Kennedies) is the best anthem ever.
