Got offered corporate box tickets from a vendor... but as I was working for a Government Department... not allowed to accept such "gifts".
I would have quite happily allowed NZ to drop significantly on the list of "least corrupt countries" just for those tickets. -

One of my telecom work colleagues had a few AB numbers as he was their Account Manager. Needless to say a few drunk prank calls critiquing guys ( who couldn’t answer cos they were in the middle of games ) occurred.

Umaga on fire too. Thanks Clive and Ali.

"Aw, I think we're a wee bit too grown up for all that crap"
