    We have cookies. And magic underwear.

    Cookies? I thought it was cucumber sandwiches? (and I hate cucumber). But I could be swayed by the underwear. A 2.7% increase in my underwear performance would be a plus in any situation.

    I think I need to assert my cricket fandom more in our household. I've gradually been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of NFL NBA MLB coverage. This summer, I shall make a stand!

    Send him my way. I can endlessly talk American sports.

    Hadyn doesn't even like cricket!

    I'm like Richard's bored rugby fans. Hey there's sport on, sure I'll watch it if I'm allowed to drink, make loud opinionated comments, and yell at the TV.

    But this year I started watching baseball. If I can enjoy baseball, I can (start to) enjoy cricket.

    That's what I love about test cricket

    What I love about it is that it's a totatlly lazy sport to watch. If they'd let me bring a BBQ into the ground it'd be perfect.

    The one time I've really seen it come off was the Wellington test on the last Lions tour...

    Best night out evar.

    Actually that was a bloody good night. At the end of the game one of our friends "ran" the length of Courtenay Pl and got a table in Boulot and we drank and ate our way through the rest of the night.

    also you ignored the amazing win by the under-20 women at the football world cup in Chile, not only beating the Latin Americans at the competition they're hosting, but knocking them out!

    I didn't ignore it. But your right it was fantastic and needs to get some "dap".

    Rosie White may be the best striker New Zealand has produced. Discuss that football folk.

    Cheers Steve, I knever heard about the Kiwi Ferns.
    So in Rugby terms we are Womens Union & League Chanmps and Mens League Champs, nice.

    Ah the Kiwi Ferns. Another product of the New Zealand team-naming formula.

    Though the RLWC final was a battle of the national icons: Kangaroos and Kiwis

    The first half really was just awful.
    Depends upon who you were barracking for I s'pose :-)

    Actually I don't think the Welsh were looking too flash either.

    I loved how they were penalised in the scrum for falling down when it was the fault of a rather large piece of turf coming loose.

    The BBC used to (maybe they still do) have a "Best Football Chant of the Week" piece on their website.

    __ I would really like Slice of Heaven to be our test-match song. Imagine 50,000 voices belting out the "Dah, dah, dah.. boom boom, dah, dah, dah" bit.__

    That's wat the Kiwi were singing on the "celebration stage" the other night, wasn't it?

    Yep they were. Though I do recall it being played after every NZ try at the RWC last year and it bugging the hell out of me.

    Hey Hive Mind!

    I (naively) thought that there would be a free-to-air replay of the League final sometime today. It doesn't look like there is, or am I wrong?

    Help
