Days of our Lives



Ahhh the saga continues and this guy continues to get his mug in the press running the South African side of the SANZAR family's name through the mud.

Look I am not taking sides here but you cant help wanting to take out your frustrations on this poor irritating little man. Granted he has been trying his hardest to get us to agree with his lofty ideals which for some reason we cant seem to understand. Poor Johnny, he deserves more from us. Read the article http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/news/2401387/South-Africa-bluffing-over-move-north

Who knows how we behave behind closed when deals like this one are being thrashed out but something tells me, and this is purely I hunch that this fella is taking us by the scruff of the neck and demanding we eat humble pie. The Kiwi's have been pretty muted over the issue but they have alot of problems back home and one that they don't want is to lose their biggest rivals SA. Sure we come and go sometimes but when we're on, we can give it to them better than anyone in the world, and we never smug about it. Tsk tsk Aussie rubbish. I read an article how the Kiwi rugby old schoolers led mainly by Pinetree himself were saying to hell with John O'neill we need SA in competitions. The other reason is OZ only supply a paltry 18% of the entire tv viewers in the Super14.  Why are we listening to Johnny if this is the case. 

The SA rugby chaps are in a tight corner too, I mean imagine coming home without the Currie Cup there will be a small revolution. Call it what you want, but its very important to us and both the ARU and NZRU are extremely jealous of our beloved Currie Cup. The Kiwi's are still smarting from the loss in value of the NPC. I used to watch those games and drool, the Ranfurly shield matches just spiced things up beyond belief. Imagine that in the Internal league, its hard enough being the Nadoes without another tag around the neck. 

Anyway just something to think about as the meeting looms. Who's going home with the Kahunies ?
