Monday Maul

[Swee_82]

Quite enjoyed Pie's Monday Maul today- now to find some Kiwis...

So many New Zealanders have this strange trait where they begin their conversations with you well before they actually enter the room, or are anywhere in your vicinity. You can hear them suburbs away, chanting something that sounds like "Blick, Blick, Blick", and it just gets louder and louder until they circle you, punctuating everything with "eh", bamboozling you with words like "Piney", "Futzy", "Ruchie", "Shagsie", and cutting phrases like: "We showed you, eh!"

Instead, there will be silence, relief, tears and even anger that we have rugby's version of Phar Lap in our midst - a certain South Islander jockey now wearing the gold colours of a winning stable. And if you really want to get under their skin, just say two words - "Graham Henry".

Hopfully they have an exit clause they can pull out of their bum to turn the ship around !!

with who?

Robbie Deans and David Nucifora now both belong to Oz....with (I'd reckon) the most watertight contracts in Rugby Union history!

Well here's one Aussie who still thinks Pie is a pruck and that was just another of his snide articles. Maybe I'm a dinosaur but I still firmly believe in sportsmanship and being gracious in victory as well as defeat (us old farts have had plenty of practice at the latter where NZ & ZA are concerned.)

GIGGS - Nussy is a Queenslander. They might have let an Aussie coach the Auckland side but I haven't heard anything about hell freezing over.
