Subsidised by the French!

Very amused to read in the Independent Financial Review (only appeared in the onlien edition) that the French Government helped subsidise the costs of the NZ Parliamentary Rugby Team.  I think it is great the French taxpayer gets to pay!

The IFR also managed to dig up the names fo the full touring party – at 39 it has grown almost faster than the All Black  support crew!  They had former All Black and NZRFU Chairman Richie Guy as coach which is a coup.

Anyway full credit to the team for winning the parliamentary world cup.  I just wish the game was shown on Sky.
