Who Wants an Albatross?

[Nepia]

Shit there's lots of Chicken Run Saffas in NZ. Not one All Black out of all that lot though.

[Smuts]

@Nepia you would have thought you would have got at least one decent tightfive out of them

Andrew Mehrtens was born in Durban so qualifies as a Saffa.

[Bovidae]

There's not that many in SR is there? Nel, Riccitelli and Goosen. Anyone else?

@Nepia Greg Rawlins.

He even played for Harbour!

I don't count him, he didn't immigrate here, he just came for pro rugby. And he was average. And he played for Harbour. And he was a Ginga.

[Tim]

@Bones Ha ha. Well played.

[Tim]

@Nepia He stayed in NZ, and works as a software guy in Auckland now.

Bah, leave your facts out of this.

I assume he returned after earning the NH coin?

[Tim]

@Nepia Yep.

@Smuts fuck off and go and support the Crusaders

@nzzp I think blues fans have suffered long enough. I’m quite tempted to inflict myself on the crusaders. I think I might enjoy watching those bastards lose a heartbreaker to a dodgy call.

2014 final. 😁

[Smuts]

@booboo sorry. I warned Chief’s fans. But nothing in the thread pushed me off the gut feel.

[Smuts]

@antipodean not heartbreaking enough given all the winning they’re used to, the bastards.

Good on ya fella. You can have a week off next week before deciding to put your weight behind the blues.

@Bones ‘fraid I’m a Chiefs fan now. What kind of a fan just chooses a new team that he has no real connection to?

Mate you'd love the warriors in the NRL.
