Haka Hooha

OK, I’ve had enough.
The new AB haka is outstanding. There – I’ve said it.
It was obvious on Saturday night from the crowd’s reaction that I’m not alone. In fact, from the crowd reaction it is equally obvious that most people love it.
I agree entirely with the school of thought that Ka Mate is [...]

Mickey Mouse Cricket

If this was a Walt Disney movie, you wouldn’t believe it!
A cricket team in Pomgolia was bowled out for FIVE runs. The top scorer made 0 not out. All the runs came from extras.
OK, so there’s Donald and Daisy and three nephews but who are the other five ducks???
Let’s hope it’s not an [...]

Aussie Netballers Didn’t Lose!

It’s true, the Aussie netballers didn’t lose on Saturday night … the Silver Ferns just happened to score more points than they did.
Not that the Aussies are making excuses.
Why should they make excuses when the Silver Ferns have obviously cheated??
The Silver Ferns have stolen the Aussies’ training secrets.
And we’re too professional. We pay our [...]

Willie and Jerry Show?

What was Jerry thinking??

And if he’d done it before the Irish test, would that mean he was taking the Mickey?
Perhaps he’s been using some of that product advertised on Radio Sport … Natural Pee.
Anyway, the Aussies have got more to worry about … like how to score [...]

What Goes Around …

Don’t you love it when the Aussies start bemoaning how unfair things are???
Try this for starters: Bob Dwyer selectively judges a referee.
Funny, I bet you Dwyer didn’t slam Kaplan’s decision to ping the AB’s in the seventh minute of added time in the Wellington test a couple of years aback.
In fact, I think you would [...]

Giving Someone a Peace of It

This may not be sport, but it is too good to miss.
The headline reads:
Kiwi peace activist accused of punching UK pop star

Now, if you were a “peace activist”(your title, not mine) how do you reconcile bashing the crap out of some nancy pop singer?
Does that make you a “former peace activist” or a thug?
And is [...]

Car Mate, Car Mate

In one respect, this is hardly a sports issue – an Italian car manufacturer stealing the haka for an ad.
Click here to view the ad – you will need to click on the small car (it is a Fiat after all) to view the add.
On the one hand, you can put some positive spin onto [...]
