Haters in stand?

Just a thought - if Kiwis decide to support any team that is trying to beat the Australians, who are the Ozzies going to support through the quarter-finals and semis? Not us.

Given the final could end up Northern Hemisphere versus Southern Hemisphere, we are in real danger of having most of Europe and all Australian fans hating us.

I reckon we should take a moment, and pull our heads in. Some humility wouldn't go astray. Just a thought.

Try something hot

The call went out last week for any suggestions for hangover cures.

George from Havelock North suggests the best thing to do is have a bowl of good old Watties tomato soup with some decent bread. It's interesting how often tomato pops up as a hangover cure. A Virgin Bloody Mary is often touted as the cure, although in my own experience, it only works fine if you want to purge your stomach contents.

George also suggests another cure - "a hot chick in Napier".

Sounds way tastier than tomato soup, George.

Give leaguies space

I know this is supposed to be a column about rugby but I have to confess I switched to the NRL league semifinal with 20 minutes to go in the All Blacks v France match.

Come on Len Brown, open up Party Central for the league crew on finals night.

The last thing we need is Europe, Australia and the leaguies cheering against the ABs.
