How is it 13 hours since that post and Pot Hale hasn't been banned!
It was a good first cast into the pond leading up to the tour, got a few nudging the bait and a good solid strike. @Bones effort was better though, very subtle.

Isn't playing "ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts", because you know you're crap at sing, irony?
Talk about being whooshed.
Whooshed in his first visit, been getting whooshed since.
Who and where are these waitresses and shop assistants that keep wanting to talk rugby? I come on here because it seems to me barely anyone in NZ wants to talk rugby. Maybe they're being polite and trying to take an interest in a visitors work?
NZ is the least national sport obsessed place I can think of. Having lived in London, Melbourne, Sydney where 3 different codes hold prime place - NZ is about 10% of the level of those places. The difference being none of those places had a national team in those codes holding a primary place, with the occasional exception of England every 2 years.

No, I don't think that is irony. If they'd put on accidentally "I'd like to teach the world to sing", that would be somewhat ironic and funny, if they were actually crap at singing.

Note to self: Jegga's a tough bugger of a marker.
Further note to self: Must try harder.

Pace yourself mate, you don't want to peak early.

Talking of trolling
Definite irony there. These Australian and Welsh fellas masquerading as England spokesmen do love to talk from the sidelines.

Darn, so the walrus is right.
A. he hasn't met me
B. I don't get irony anywayBut it is ironic that in 1983 we didn't have many ......
No, won't go there -
“That is not for me to decide, I’m easy. It’s where I’ve played the majority of my rugby, but I’ve played a lot at 12 as well. It depends what other people see me as, it’s not about what I think."
Guess who?

This was nowhere near the worst article he wrote this week. You should see the tripe he wrote about how the Lions are always so hard done by with refereeing.

Thanks for the warning, I'll give it a miss.

Really enjoyed this from the Telegraph staff
Ignore the headline :rolling_eyes:

@Frye quite like the word black wash , sums up what happened to them quite nicely . The photo of Woodward looking despondent is the icing on the cake. Shame Marshall was the only ab to contribute, his thoughts were quite interesting though.
-
Interesting article. Some lingering bitterness there, but "Donners'" parts were great, he sounds like he had a ball!
@mariner4life yeah the comments around BOD were bitter alright...did think the comment about a lady in a shop refusing to sell laces odd...but I guess there is no reason to make it up.
Certainly a lot of division in the squad, no surprise they struggled on the park.

To change the subject slightly, has anyone who got their test tickets via the ballot received them yet? I know tickets for the non-test games have been sent but I wasn't sure about the test tickets. There is still a month to go though.
What tickets have gone out? I haven't gotten any yet.
Physical tickets to Maori and Barbarians have landed already.
We've got our tickets for both the Maori and Chiefs games.
We haven't received the Chiefs tickets yet. Really annoying.
Another thing where NZ is falling into the worldwide 'process'. Lots of tickets for gigs, games etc now aren't sent out until the week before in the UK.
I guess it is an attempt to cut reselling down as you are less likely to put another link in the chain of waiting for it and trusting it will arrive. The likes of Viagogo have had to start setting up collection booths for sellers to drop tickets off last minute for pickups.But if Bovidae's already received his tickets, I'm not sure that's the case here.
@Bovidae Cheers, I'll give it to Wednesday and if I still haven't received anything, I guess I'll call Ticketek.

@Unco Any luck yet?
My tickets from Ticketbastard for the 3rd test arrived today so all sorted now.
