Brilliant..........A must for every Kiwi. About 1 hr for off.... ITV1 UK are televising every single match live here.
Better coverage than here then, only 16 games live, unless you have Sky Sports

I am from Chatham and have been in Oz for nigh on 7 years, could you explain where hench comes from? I ask merely out of curiosity and wondering what chav-speak I have missed.

(edit) Ah yes, Urbandictionary has come to my aid ... I am SO old

Public transport letting people down, who would have guessed?

I thought the funniest bit was afterwards when they said that it wouldn’t happen again because they weren’t going to hold any more events of that size. That’s like saying “My car won’t break down again when I urgently need it because next time I’ll ride my bicycle instead”.

Car: A box that takes you where you want to go when you want to go there in cleanly comfort.

Public transport: Goes to somewhere you may or may not want to go at a time that you may or may not want to go at in a variety of less comfortable circumstances.

It's funny to see the contrast between teams:
  • The big southern hemisphere teams always look mechanical, millimeter precise and utterly joyless.
  • Northern hemisphere teams have come along for a good time and to play some rugby because they enjoy it.

+1

Paddy-whacked - a great headline IMHO

puts into context some of the "holier-than-thou" Kiwi pundits (particularly the print media journos) who continuously go on predicting that southern hemishphere will rule, the game is a game for backs and dogged forward play is for brutish English-men. If someone changed the shirt colours from green to white and presented it to them then they'd be bleating on about boring English tactics rather than courageous Irish grit!

Boks are looking rather menacing though
