Re: Uncontested scrums

Last year our competition had a rule that if your reserves team defaulted (keep in mind that these reserve teams do not play against the same opposition as the top side, and are often playing at grounds up to 3 hours away) then the top side lost 5 competition points. Which is quite hard to achieve i...

Point of order Thomas re the OP - the statement implies that there was some time when humility existed. Can this be ratified at all?

Re: Samoa v NZ - $1.5m loss

When the All Blacks tour the home unions, they get a share of the gate don't they? Doesn't that count as 'charity' under the demilich definition? If not (because the All Blacks usually guarantee a full house for the hosting union), surely a similar gate sharing might be the thing to do for the tier...

Re: How old were you when Kiwis were truly humble?

In everything but rugby (and rowing) it's actually really easy for a kiwi to be humble, because, regardless of what it is, we're generally pretty shit at it. Myself on the other hand... I prefer a challenge. So I try to be an arrogant wit kant in everything I do.
