From the ridiculous to the sublime … or is it the other way around??
One day, the northern hemisphere is “hacked off with the haka … the next, they are turning it into ballet!
Where will it end? Who’s scoring the most pointes??

By jingo, he’s hacked off with the haka!
The interesting thing for me wasn’t so much the comments about the haka – we’ve heard them all before – but the response that the post got.
At the time of writing, there were well over 750 comments.
I’d be happy with one
And some of these blokes and [...]

How’s this for scoring off the field … the Phoneix are praised by Australians.
And fair enough too – the Phoenix have done more in a handful of games than the Knights managed in a couple of seasons.

But this is my blog and seeing no body reads it anyway, I can write what I like.

OK, so it’s not the most original title for a blog story but it’s a good one.
The naysayers who doubted the Phoenix must be choking on their words right now.

It’s not unusual for Stephen Jones to accuse the All Blacks of pillaging South Pacific Islands to make the All Blacks browner and better.
His latest attack was in the Sunday Time – Jones ongoing and ill-informed diatribe. (I’ve taken some liberties with the title.)

Sorry, not sure what happened there. Just lost another month.
Perhaps it was the Rugby World Cup? Kept me up in the middle of the night more than once over the last couple of weeks.
Then there’s the Phoenix … another couple of hours spent away from blogging altho I am sure there will be plenty of [...]
