<p>What's Retallick doing there? Typical. Behind every glorious AB moment is some dark-shirted prick illegally interfering with an opposition player...</p> -
<p>I'll break it down for you Barb, from a technical perspective.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What Brodie Retallic is doing there is, winning the world cup. It's hard to tell just from the still shot, but he's actually in the middle of a complicated, and terribly impressive movement, the end result of the movement being this</p>

<p>pretty sure it looks like he is trying to lift him up to give him a half decent shot of charging it down given how unco he looks!</p> -
<p>Tarnished you say? The World Cup? That's cool, we'll take care of that. One thing you know the NZRU has is a shit load of trophy polish. </p>

Didn't it all expire in 2004 after the fire sale of 1987? -
<p>nah we got a new lot in (by truck, a BIG ONE) about 2003 after we got the big trophy back, what is it called, I always forget...</p>

<p>I'm amazed you found a photo without the esteemed leader of our country grinning and high fiving and acting like he won the fucken thing himself.</p>

<p>He must have been off trying to find which shower Richie was using.</p> -

<p>I thought that the NZRFU had money?</p> -
<p>they prefer to spend it on their players...</p>
