Sorry ready to be shot down but amiss to not mention the ninth Super Rugby
title for the awesome Canturbury Crusaders. Great for the region and their
supporters, give it a couple of years and will have run out of fingers and
have to start counting them on your toes, again sorry, red and black!

Wondering how popular the team would be if they were renamed the Jihadis, which is what the crusaders essentially were   |

Have you been to Canterbury in rugby season? Rugby absolutely is a religion down there, so a crusade is probably quite apt. I think The Blues is also very apt, their fans seem to be always crying into their beers. When I flew into Christchurch in June I got on a bus and the bus driver asked where I'd just come from.I said Hamilton, and he asked "Oh, who are the Chiefs playing this week?" When I said I had absolutely no clue, he seemed dumbfounded and a bit upset, hahaha. I remember when I lived there I had to learn was rugby was all about so I was not an outcast. |
