Steve Hansen has lost a test. The country is in virtual mourning. The living deity that is Richie McCaw has lost the test. Oh my god!!!! Let us not dwell on the 2 point loss to a powerful Sprinboks team fired up by the Ellis Park crowd. They are also second in the world. Let … Continue reading Shag loses a second test
The Rabittohs ended a hundred year drought and won the NRL Grand final in a great display of rugby league. Let's not forget this was the shittest team in the competition on a regular basis until the Gladiator got involved. He has transformed this side into a great team (no doubt at significant damage to … Continue reading Bunnies Beat Up Bulldogs
I should think opinion would have two sides, well maybe 3. One side who agree, one side who doesn't and maybe those who simply couldn't give a shit. When it comes to matters-sport, this is certainly the case. When it comes to NZ rugby there is almost no fence sitting and most have an opinion … Continue reading Opinion agreeing with opinion
So Isaac Luke has been banned for the Rabbitohs first Grand Final in a thousand years. Banned for a dangerous tackle on fellow kiwi Sonny-Bill Rich Guy. A tip tackle/spear/dangerous/throw/dump tackle. Banned! Any surprise here? No. Alex McKinnon was paralysed earlier in the year. Mr. Luke clearly lifted him and this is dangerous. As I … Continue reading Isaac The Magnanimous

Manchester United lose to Wainuiomata or someone I've never heard of. Wellington lose their 6th straight game. Another fantastic game of league coming down … Continue reading Internet Buttheads

The country has suffered a sort of temporary psychosis where, temporarily, the brain acts as if there is nothing else going on. The news is all about it. There are debates, mud-slinging, spying, leaked emails,HACKED emails, books and … Continue reading Temporary (election) Psychosis
] Thanks Seth McFarlane...I hope you don't mind I used your picture. If you do, give me a whistle and I'll offer you a beer and perhaps a bourbon. Today marked the opening of the Hagley Oval's Cricket Pavilion. A magnificent looking little structure to mirror the shape of the Port Hills. A cricket … Continue reading Hagley Nay? Hagley Yay!
So, I went to the game...my beloved Magpies thumped Otago 41-0!!! Quite unbelievable really. On to Bay of Plenty next week....not really a bay...more an elongated piece of curved coastline. I got home in time to watch the sports news and saw the highlights of the Mayweather fight. The guy is quite the athlete and … Continue reading American Sport
Waikato, Wellington, Auckland, Bay of Plenty. All Premiership teams in the ITM Cup. For those international bods reading this, the ITM Cup is New Zealand's provincial rugby championship, and the very pride of provincial types like me. The teams listed above are all teams that have, to date, sucked something awful. Wellington lost two games … Continue reading WTF happened to the NPC?
There I was, sitting in the back of dad's car driving to Auckland for a flight out to Brisbane. The flights from Napier were cancelled you see, due to fog. So a long day awaits. Anyway, while I was sitting there I couldn't help but but wonder how many trucks/semis/lorries we would encounter. So as … Continue reading Wednesday bitching
