The difference between moas and chickens. Well moas probably tasted like a chicken deer cross and were undoubtably harder to catch, and of course they´re long extinct, but there is more mana and mystery surrounding the history of the Moa, I don´t even think the colonels chicken recipie is secret anymore.
The french put up a great display, they were fast, responsive, good with defense and quick to attack. Luckily for new zealanders, the boys knew how to "go hard out" with a wobbly wheel, like the Last Indian perhaps? Compared to the bloody display the week before, this mornings match was pretty tame and I guess rightly so, If you throw a chicken up in the air enough times it´s still not going to fly, but it will eventually shit itself and noone like to be shat on. Congrats to the kiwi boys and the other teams for a great rugby world cup, all you guys are champions of rugby. For the kiwis with hearts of a moa, time for a well earnt bucket of chicken before sorting out that wobbly wheel I reckon.
Thanks!

RWC roadshow - a tour through New Zealand, George Nepia an original champion of rugby
Kiwis do this great! The community spirit in NZ is alive and kicking (well at least in the main centres, but that post is for another blog another time) One of the reasons has to be our small population base it is easy to be amiable and quaint when you´re small!
One of the greatest rugby champions of all time was George Nepia and back in the 20th century "the boot" as he was known was the 1900´s equivalent of Dan Carter. “It is not for me a question of whether Nepia was the best fullback in history. It is a question of which of the others is fit to lace up his cotton Oxford boots.” Denzil Batchelor, English rugby journalist. One of Nepia´s boots is to be found in the trophy cabinet at Tauranga Boys´College, I used to think it looked big and smelly, lord knows what it smells like now but probably better than DC´s!
The RWC roadshow is a tv series taking you through the land of the long white cloud aka Aotearoa where you will get to meet the people and supporters that are going to make the RWC 2011 an event to remember. The quakes in Christchurch were only a precursor to the epic rumblings that will take place around the 26th September but whatever happens expect people to rally together. The rugby rule is the same, if you´re on the ground let it go and enjoy the sensation of the rolling maul or scrum passing over (or through) you. Good waves to you all & go the all blacks!
