Yeah, looks like the Crusaders will win it. Its possible that we could have another all south island final this year. If so I wont be watching it. As long as a NZ team wins Im happy.

Who's going to win the election?
Being completely away from the whole media scene, I would suggest that the following is happening:
Labour:
What they say: "Let's increase taxes, because the rich can afford to pay more."
What they will do if re-elected: Increase taxes, abolish the monarchy, and pretend that they're more important on the world stage than they really are. Hopefully they'll at least be rid of ever-so-niave-but-well-meaning Jim though. And Helen's teeth will be even whiter and straighter on this years' posters.
National:
What they say: The exact opposite of Labour, no matter what the policy.
What they will do if re-elected: Increase taxes, abolish the monarchy, and pretend that they're more important on the world stage than they really are. They'll definitely be rid rid of ever-so-niave-but-well-meaning Jim though.

NZ politics are so insane! Often the left-wing party will do right-wing stuff, and vice versa. Have you ever heard parliment in session? Funniest thing I ever heard.

New South Welshmen; Let us rejoice,
For at least we're on the plane.
We're flying home from Canterbury,
We hold our heads in shame!
This ninety-odd point drubbing,
(we only got nineteen).
We are very meek, and just next week,
We'll lose to ACT.

Yes, hurrah, the Cantabs won. Im glad ACT were in the final, they definitely were the next-best team... i mean, if the Waratahs were in and we won we woulda been told we werent facing the best, but we did, and we won. 'nuff said.

Any thoughts on that All Black team?
I was quite surprised to see Pita Alatini left out. I thought he actually had quite a good season. Maybe his lack of ability to cover more than one position let him down (when compared to the likes of Aaron Mauger)??

Yeah, but can you believe Daryl Gibson was picked ahead of Aaron Mauger despite playing ahead of him most of the season?

oops... or is that Nathan Mauger?

Whats the difference between Cinderella and the Waratahs?
Cinderella got to the ball.
What does HSBC (the Waratahs' jersey sponsor) stand for?

Does anyone think National even has a chance of getting close to Labour this election? Im of the opinion they won't.... theyve had Alliance breaking up, 'paintergate' and various other bad publicity and National still cant convince anyone to vote for them.
And i dont even like politics, but National really does suck in Opposition.

I certainly hope they will. 
Hopefully, with results from the likes of the Netherlands and France, the "world" is starting to see that the centre-right is a viable option, more so than the centre-left (and mercifully, Jim anderton).
I think that if the current "Lets be nice to everyone" policies continue much longer, then the country is heading down the toilet, fast.

Did anyone see the lastest All blacks game? Not the most impressive start to the season...

ABs vs Italy? I thought it was a pretty boring game, good result, but boring.

What did everyone think of the Maori / Wallabie game? It was awesome to be at the stadium in the dying minutes, if only what his name had passed the ball.... it was a 3 on 1 overlap... and it woulda been all over... with a different result!!!
