Subject: RE: BS: Rugby World Cup
NZ'ers are generally pleased if we beat France (still haven't forgiven them for their govt's act of terrorism on our shores in blowing up a ship, and their nuclear activity in the Pacific!), and are excessively pleased if we beat Sth Africa (because we think that some people there still retain a strong dolip of white supremist atitudes!).

NZ teams will always have a lot of Pacific people playing - we are after all the largest island in the South Pacific, and our population is multi-racial - many were born here!

The only sad thing about losing to OZ (if we do!) is coping with their lippyness about it - sigh. Just remember - NZ's entire population is about the size of Sydney.

Go All Blacks!!!!Yeah!!!!!Go antipodaes (..and wild colonial boys)!!
