I hate Wagyu.
Wagyu or actual Japanese like Kobe or Yonezawa? Real Best cattle meat I've eaten. I'm not interested in peasant cuts that have to be cooked slowly for days to make them edible.
Haven't had Yonezawa, not even sure I've tried Kobe the. I'm talking about the fatty suite they serve at the butcher for $100/kg and claim it is amazing because a marble score is 11
Yeah, that shit isn't real Wagyu. They're just using the generic name for fatty beef.
That's the most expensive meat I've ever eaten and by miles the best too. Prepared by a clearly skilled chef too (which helps).

Looks interesting! Not cooked with the usual char.

craft beer is great, but the absolute best thing after any sort of activity in the sun is a cold, bland, mass produced mid-strength lager

I'm a craft beer piston wristed gibbon of epic proportions but there is actually a degree of truth to this. I had a magnificent few steinlagers ( yes this is not a mis print ) when I met the other halfs father for the first time by his pool in Hawkes Bay in February. ( after 6pm but I was in Jeans and a shirt and it was still over 30 degrees according to the car ). They were absolutely terrific after a long drive. Some of my even bigger craft beer piston wristed gibbon mates looked down at me after telling them this but options are few and far between in Wairoa.

I might be getting the hang of this thread now. Completely random thoughts thrown out there that people won't like.
Brussels sprouts are actually O.K.

They live on the outskirts, not in the town itself.
They're more tanned than me which isn't difficult but still too pale to be either of what you mentioned.

TBH, both the Mob and BP are a fairly open church colour wise.

Yeah she took me for a tour of the town which took about 10 minutes.....needless to say she fucked off as soon as she was old enough to go to boarding school but the rural area where her folks live ( right on the river ) is beautiful.

Did she go to one of the Hawkes Bay boarding schools? There were always a few 'farm' girls from up that way at Iona.
Wairoa is close to Mahia and had pretty good rugby players come out of there pre WW2 but other than that there's not much going for it.

She did indeed. Not sure which one exactly.
We had a great night drinking with her Dad at the RSA and the races next day was cool as well. NZ Country folk on the whole are bloody friendly.

One of the best attacking 10s of our generation, but can only be considered one of the best 10s if you decide kicking isn't a core duty
It is a bit unusual when common wisdom is to have your 10 do most of the kicking.
However Brumbieleague didn't really need kicks in general play, and at Test level we had Burke or Eales knocking them over, and then Elton Flatley later on.
Could snap the odd droppie tho
