Q- Where to from here? Rugby World Cup 2011 has been and gone. The conversation has switched from groins, anxiety, and filthy frogs to Knighthoods, Sonny Bill Williams, and Ted’s fishing plans. What’s next for the All Blacks and their fans?
A- Who cares? Seriously, who really cares? The natural order of the universe has been restored and we sit at the top branch of the tree of life. Others harbour regret and rue missed opportunities while we bask in the glow of that little replica cup sitting at the NZRU headquarters. Four more years people. I encourage you to ring a friend in Saffaland, Froggyland, Pomgolia, Wales, or the big penitentiary across the Tasman to remind them who won and lost what. Email me your phone bill and I'll pay for the phone call.
Q- Excited about the Black Caps tour of Libya?
A- Only until Jacob Oram gets injured or Jesse Ryder needs a runner and then I'll probably lose interest.
Q- What’s going on with the NBA lockout?
A- Fuck the NBA. After last year’s disappointment I can wait. I’m more than happy to spend more time talking to my wife over the summer months if it means I don't have to be reminded about that choke. Fuck the NBA and fuck LeChoke James.
Q- The 2012 NRL market has opened with the Warriors at $9, is it worth a punt?
A- A definite yes. Our young team looks good and strong, and the experience of the playoffs as well as the Grand Final disappointment will help them grow as footballers. The addition of 80 minute tackling machine and dummy half specialist Nathan Friend will free up a bench spot and provide momentum for our big boppers. Friend is very good at taking a few steps from dummy half and finding big men hitting the ball at pace on the advantage line. It’s no surprise to me that the Gold Coast Titans have floundered in his absence. I have only one concern and that’s in the centres, and with Bluey taking the helm. Time will tell.
Q- Who’s going to win the election?
A- Who cares. Either way we are poked. Refer to the answer to the question at the top of the page and forget about the folly and futility of politics.
Q- If Thierry Dusatoir is the best rugby player in the world, then what is Jerome Kaino?
Q- Kim Kardashian anyone?
