Bledisloe Cup.
Jul. 26th, 2003 11:12 pmAhuh.. least said soonest mended, however I know WHY we lost..
Stirring rendition of God Loves New Zealand, by some woman with an amazing set of lungs
Pathetic rendition of Advance Australia Fair by Todd McKenny who couldn't be heard without a squillion dollars worth of speakers.
Before Game
A Horde of big boofy New Zealand All Blacks do the Haka.. enough to scare anyone and what do we do..
A rousing chorus of Waltzing Fucking Matilda.
We lost, right then and there.

Date: 2003-07-27 12:38 am (UTC)I assume it's similar in some way to the Foster's "Melbourne Cup" but noting a reference to "All Blacks" I have a hunch it's something to do with some variation of Rugby football.
What's wrong with "God save the Queen" ?
Isn't that the Kiwi "National Anthem" ?
And may I suggest caution with regard to Matilda's sexual relationships.
Sport !!! Coming from Southern England I tend to regard "soccer" as the REAL footie game and anything else belonging to relatively uncultured louts from "up north", noting that unlike cricket Australia and New Zealand have adopted variations of something called "rugger".
Rugger and out...
