I like rugby!

Great game to watch, great game to play (or was back in the day).

Real rugby played by experts (read Canterbury and The Crusaders) is a thing of beauty.

The All Blacks franchise however has no meaning, no tradition and treats rugby as incidental to the gaining of money (next they’ll be calling it “resources”).

The sooner this outfit is disbanded the better.

Aint too bright are you Colville ?

We are not number one in Soccer because other countries are serious about it. Unlike rugby where noooo body cares. Even with those incredible odds in our favour, we spent 20 odd years getting our arses kicked by Soccer playing nations and those who did not give a shit about rugby.

I reckon they let us win out of boredom and pity.

Some are suffering from post – rugby depression. We won the World Cup, we won Bledisloe, we won, we won etc etc.
We are tired of winning, especially when the Haka is performed on any occasion that suits.
Is the Haka done for a real reason, or just when the fucking media need to create News?

My point is quite simple.

What is so fucked about so many New Zealanders that they hate themselves so much ?

You see it every day right here on Kiwiblog.

Why can’t they enjoy the success of their national team ?

Tres simple. Tres meaning very, as in Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.

Kea, RF, Pauleastbay, Big Bruv…Etc,,,,

Pauleastbay for EG. go to the UK. argue that there is far too much on TV about soccer ( football)
You think that would wash ?

Why do so many New Zealanders have so little self respect for themselves that they hate
themselves as much as,
say, Longknives or Kea, or RF hate themselves ?

Surely, that is the question.

We suck monkey balls at soccer because (a) we dont have 80 mil or so population (b) we dont have the small skinny sprinter body type and (c) its a fucking boring game played by poofs!

“ohhhhhhhh ref that poof messed with my hair….I am in painnnnn” *rolls around on grass looking if he has caught eye of linesman*

Unlike in rugby where laying on top of sweaty blokes and rolling around like mating eels is actually encouraged.

But yeah, Soccer is a bit poofy.

I prefer individual pursuits myself and Kiwis do well at those. However, they do not get recognition, because of bloody rugby.

Hi Penny,

No, you are irrelevant because you have no integrity. You will not engage in debate or answer reasonable questions.

For that reason alone you are my least favorite contributor on KB.

Why are you even here?

Silly bitch.

OMG Kea! I gave up thugby because i used to spend too much time beating up my own teammates for shit preformance 🙂
I went back to shooting things a very very long way away which kept me kinda outta trouble.

The thing I do LOVE about rugby is it suits small towns. Grab 15 blokes and you have a team. There is a place for tall short fast and fat.
I was the slow the fat bastard !

I don’t hate myself at all,I stated there is too much rugby, it doesn’t excite like it used , over-supply of any (just about) dampens interest.

I just no longer get up in the middle of the night to watch tests, I don’t leave dinners anymore to watch tests,I can’t afford to take my family to a test, ..yea at the moment we have a good All Black side, we haven’t for several years ( personally I blame Laurie Mains for bringing in several really mediocre players just to stick it up Auckland).

There will be a cycle in the next few years when we won’t win everything, but the world wont end , it’s a game, I’ve played it very poorly but the passion for it has gone the same way as going out to 4 o’clock in morning and running marathons , people just move on I may again become a fan but the game needs to have a really good look at itself, its boring at the moment and there’s too much,too many people milking the cow , its going to implode.

And you are so fucking easy to wind up

Kea at 6:02, today:

Yeah I think Dad was a bit perplexed by my lack of interest in rugby

Kea, a few days ago:

I used to play it myself. Nothing wrong with the game, but some of its fans and player, now days, turn me off.

So you used to play rugby despite not having an interest in it?

The family of Auckland Blues Rugby supporters head out shopping one Saturday before Christmas.

While in a sport shop, the son picks up a Crusaders rugby jersey and says to his sister, “I’ve decided I’m going to be a Crusaders supporter and I’d like this jersey for Christmas!”

The sister is outraged at this, promptly whacks him round the head and says, “Go talk to your mother.”

Off goes the little lad, with Crusaders jersey in hand and finds his mother. “Mum,” “Yes, son ?” “I’ve decided I’m going to be a Crusaders supporter and I’d like this jersey for Christmas.”

The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks him round the head and says, “Go talk to your father.”

Off he goes with the Crusaders jersey in hand and finds his father. “Dad?” “Yes, son?” “I’ve decided I’m going to be a Crusaders supporter and I would like this jersey for Christmas.”

The father is outraged at this, promptly whacks his son round the head and says, “No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!”

About half an hour later, they are all back in the car heading home. The father turns to the son and says, “Son, I hope you’ve learned an important lesson today?” The son turns to his father and says, “Yes, Father, I have.” Father says, “Good son, and what is it?”

The son replies “I’ve only been a Crusaders supporter for an hour and already I hate you Auckland bastards

I went back to shooting things a very very long way away which kept me kinda outta trouble.

Seems to be the fashion now days. I like to creep up close, since I have to walk over there anyway to grab some meat. It also saves having to cart around a heavy rifle, scope, bipod, range finder, spotting scope and other crap.

One thing I can say, all jokes aside, is my rugby playing mates have big troubles out hunting in the high mountains. Mainly knee and shoulder injuries.

A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of an Auckland courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Auckland Blues Rugby Team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

The question is.

Why do you hate yourselves so much that you need to denigrate your countries
achievements in the sporting world ?

Simple question.

And, most pittiful of all is poor old big bruv. his “argument” consists of answering a question
with a question.
The most pittiful of all.

Try and address the question.

Surely it can’t be so hard.

Need me to repeat it just for you big bruv ?

The Wallabies rugby practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field.

Head coach Robbie Deans immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, investigating forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the try line. Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again.

A man meets a friend who’s a long time supporter of the Auckland Blues. He sees
that his friend’s car is total write-off and covered with leaves, grass, branches, dirt and blood.
He asks his friend “What’s happened to your car?”
“Well,” the friend responds, “I ran over Pat Lam”.
“OK,” says the man, “that explains the blood… But what about the leaves, the grass, the
branches and the dirt ?”
“Well, he tried to escape through the park.”

In 1993 3 kids were playing in the street in Sydney when they were hit by a train. They all go to heaven and God says to them, “You weren’t supposed to die, you were all supposed to live out your lives. This was not your time. To make it up to you, I’ll let you choose what you want to do with your life. Take a running jump off of that cloud over there, and as you’re flying back down to Earth, shout out what you want to do. And so it shall be.”
The 1st kid takes a running leap and shouts “Lawyer” and so, 20 years later, he is a very successful lawyer, making lots of money, with an upcoming appointment to the Bench.

The 2nd kid takes his turn and shouts “brain surgeon” and so, 20 years later, he is the most admired man in his field of medicine and making a ton of money saving lives.

The 3rd kid goes to take his turn, and as he runs he trips over his own feet and stumbles of the cloud muttering “stupid clumsy arsehole.” 20 years later, he’s playing the back line for the Wallabies.

During the second half of the last Auckland Blues game, Pat Lam remonstrated with the linesman and demanded a ball be introduced to the game. The puzzled official informed Pat that there was already a ball on the paddock.” I know” said Lam ” but the opposition are using that one…”

Tell me, is your life so sad that you have nothing else but a rugby team to define you as a person?

More people in NZ don’t give a shit about the national rugby team than support it, deal with it and move on.

400 m is a fair way with a black powder rifle. Yeah I know about the Buffalo hunters back in the day, but misses did not matter and they tracked down the wounded later.

A Blues fan walks past Video Ezy & sees an ad for “The Auckland Blues – The Glory Years”.
He goes into the shop and asks how much it is.
“$100” says the assistant.
“That’s a bit steep, how come it’s so dear ??”
“Well its a tenner for the tape and $90 for the Betamax recorder!”

Another take on a classic

Traveling in a train were a Wallaby, an All Black, a spectacular looking blonde and an older lady. After several minutes of the trip, the train happens to pass through a dark tunnel, and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard. When they leave the tunnel, the Wallaby had a big red slap mark on his cheek.

(1) The blonde thought – “That horrible Wallaby wanted to touch me and by mistake, he must have put his hand on the lady, who in turn must have slapped his face.”

(2) The older lady thought – “This dirty Wallaby laid his hands on the blonde and she smacked him.”

(3) The Wallaby thought – “That bloody All Black put his hand on that blonde and by mistake she slapped me.”

(4) The All Black thought – “I hope there’s another tunnel soon so I can smack that stupid Wallaby again.”

Anyone who’s self image is dependant on the outcome of a ruby game and who obtains their self worth through a bunch of strangers (ab’s) is likely to be self hating.

The majority of us could not care less how the ab’s do at their little games.

But thanks for your concern bereal and co.

Unions unite against New Zealand trade ties

by: ANNABEL HEPWORTH, NATIONAL BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT
From: The Australian
October 30, 2012 12:00AM

UNIONS have launched a rearguard action against proposals for a new round of trade liberalisation between Australia and New Zealand that will slash tariffs, loosen restrictions on trans-Tasman direct investment and review the foreign ownership caps on Qantas and Air New Zealand.

The ACTU and the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions have mounted a rare united push against plans to further integrate the two economies made by a review commissioned by prime ministers Julia Gillard and John Key.

I suspect there’s only going to be one story today – Hurricane Sandy. Here’s the Statue of Liberty webcam, which showed a nice view of Manhattan at dawn yesterday – with some fairly hairy sounds from the high winds.

Now – well, the wind is far worse, and you only get glimpses of the city as the wind blows away the water droplets. Still worth it to get a the feeling of being there: our virtual world.

The best site for this is probably the single-page view set up by Brendan Loy.

The graph to watch in the next few hours is the tide graph, especially the green line which effectively marks the storm surge -anything over 5.5 feet means flooding in NYC, subways and all.
