<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>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>I'll break it down for you Barb, from a technical perspective.</p>
<p> </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> </p>
<p>He must have been off trying to find which shower Richie was using.</p> -

<p>Getting a truck to do it seems a bit silly - didn't you still have a tickertape parade bus in mothballs? A BIG one?</p> -
