    Yes, how bloody authentic are they. Loaded up with a double dose of the ANZAC spirit, imbued with the spirit of Phar Lap and Don Bradman.

    Where our rivals are on the juice, we just stick to sunshine, mateship and replays of the the final minutes of game 2 in the 94 State of Origin.

    You lot could all learn a bit from them.

        Sounds about right.

        Flogged our share of the ANZAC spirit and Phar Lap.

        Bloody Australians! 🙂

                          Tbf Jack was banned for some supplement which she stupidly didn't check while trying to become an influencer on Instagram. Totally her fault but hardly comparable to whatever that Chinese guy was on. If you're going to cheat at least make it look realistic.

                              Yes. NZ has a great record for a country of such a relatively small population.

                              The worst sporting country by a mile is India. Most populous country in the world and they currently have 3 bronze medals. Get the impression 98% live in abject poverty and 2% have unbridled wealth.

                              Probably because they pour all their resources into cricket

                                        Great mornings work. Thought we might pip the USA but I think we used up the energy from 1000 to 1500 m. We are bloody good at rowing for a small country.

                                        Yes. NZ has a great record for a country of such a relatively small population.

                                        The worst sporting country by a mile is India. Most populous country in the world and they currently have 3 bronze medals. Get the impression 98% live in abject poverty and 2% have unbridled wealth.

                                        Probably because they pour all their resources into cricket

                                        And Bollywood

                                        Now there’s some athletes

                                        Was at a client function recently and got chatting with an Indian bloke and yes, whilst he himself was a lithe fit dude he bemoaned his countries lack of athleticism on the whole. He mentioned for a cricketing mad nation they’ve only produced one truly great fast bowler. Ever.

                                        They’re pretty handy at table tennis, squash etc aren’t they ?
