Kerre Woodham: Bored boys just boors

Oh, for heaven's sake! I know international rugby players think Hamilton is boring but, really.

It says more about international rugby players than it does about my old home town. Sure, when I was growing up there back in the 1980s, there wasn't a hell of a lot to do.

But these days, an enterprising young man - and the average age of the Boks is 24 - could find plenty to ward off cabin fever.

Great golf courses, visits to beautiful horse racing stables, excellent cafes and, for the good God-fearing boys amongst them, a visit to the Mormon temple. If they were bold enough to venture further afield, they'd find Raglan exhilarating and there are plenty of bars and nightclubs and girls of willing disposition for the skanky players, although condoms should be part of the dress uniform, given Hamilton's the STD capital of the country.

As many a mother would say, there are no boring places, just boring people.
