Joke time
No, not the English cricket team (although they do qualify).
This morning's walk in the park for the All Blacks reminds me of a joke my father told me when I was a wee boy (yes, far too many years ago). I've updated the names to make it relevant for today's world:
The All Blacks were nearing the end of a long and arduous season and had one more match to play, against Wales. Quite frankly, a lot of the team were buggered and didn't have the juice to play one more game. So at a team meeting, captain R. McCaw suggested to the team he'd take the Welsh on with a few of the senior players and the rest of the squad could enjoy the afternoon off at the pub.
Understandably, there was not too much dissention at the idea, so McCaw, Carter, Collins, Sivivatu, Jack and Hayman fronted up for the game while the rest of the boys went down the road to get pissed. All went to plan, the ABs were up 21-0 at halftime and while sucking on their oranges, Collins opined that he could take this lot on by himself and the rest of them should bugger off and share in the amber liquid no doubt flowing freely nearby.
Again, the others didn't take much persuasion and off they went, promising to be back 10 minutes before full-time in case Collins was being a tad optimistic.
Well, thanks to the merryment being enjoyed, the other players didn't get back until 10 minutes after full-time and the scoreboard read All Blacks 21 Wales 20.
"Geez Jerry" said McCaw, "You let them get a bit close, didn't you?"
"Couldn't help it" replied Collins. "I got sent off 5 minutes after halftime".
