Field Theory: A moment of national significance, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
I felt it quite appropriate under the circumstances, and , as you say seemed well understood by the French.
All Blacks manager seems to agree with us.

Field Theory: A moment of national significance, in reply to George Darroch,
I understand.
I hadn't really felt the kind of emotion everyone was expressing until I watched that video. Funny how seeing others live through the experience makes it more tangible. Have a feeling it will gain wide appeal that one.

Hard News: When the Game is Over, in reply to Rich Lock,
TV1 sideline commentator for his details.
I think it was Ian Smith, who was being paid by SkyTV at the time. Not that it matters. That was certainly a low point in the whole commentary of the RWC.
Still, maybe Dusautoir had the last laugh, although I'm sure he'd prefer the trophy.

Hard News: When the Game is Over, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
Yes, I am mightily pleased that Donald was our saviour as I never understood the venom levelled against him in the past. A very good Number 10 and a thoroughly decent bloke.
One other reason I'm very pleased we won is that we can continue the Piri Weepu hero meme without the weight of public opinion turning on him for having one bad game. Under what for any normal human being would be unbearable pressure. He, like Donald, turns out to be human after all. Who knew?
Good Grief! French to be fined for crossing the line...
In breaking news, the Rugby hierarchy have released this press statement...

I chat on the same forum and heard people were going down here tonight so thought I'd check it out"
can lead to
'Well have you got a business card?"The inconsequential serendipitous meetings that change the course of history.
Not that I'm saying it will, but hey, you never know. ;-)

Topical, albeit a sad song. They sure did melancholy well.

Hard News: Meme Syndicate, in reply to Richard Grevers,
A "missing" 1990 documentary about The Blue Nile
Thank you. I need a distraction.
