The All Slacks

October 7, 2007 by

I’m over it.
Rugby.
I give up, I think it’s time I supported some other sport… this business of being an All Blacks supporter is a joke. Every 4 years the ABs get hauled before us as the favourites for the tournament and every time they choke.
So, this weekend I’ve sat through losses for both the Australia, my adopted country, and NZ my native land.
They both suck.
I wonder what sort of form the Kazakhstani ping pong team have got. Maybe I’ll start getting excited about them instead. At least if they bugger it up they’ve probably got less distance to fall from the pedestal.
Don’t come looking for me, and if you’re Australian, don’t even say the All Blacks’ name in my company.
Seriously.

    We are officially in mourning in our household :-(. I too am a Kiwi (still living in NZ), and I am gutted.
    My better half has gone off fishing for the day so he can de-stress.

    Fishing.
    Sounds like a good idea.
    Much less competitive.

    Its even worse for us antipodeans over here in the UK. Nothing worse than a bunch of French dudes jumping up and down in your face after winning.
    I’m just going to have to pretend I don’t follow rugby.

    Gutted. Surprised. Disbelieving. Stunned. Sad.
    This week’s 5 words :(

    My favourite sport is grocery shopping. Care to root me on in that?

    Ah.
    Jay, I can see it’s time we had a bit of a conversation about what the word root means in common Australian language (lingo)… Anyone care to elaborate??
    It ain’t pretty…
