Priorities
OK, I'm expecting a bit of flak for this one and I'd admit it doesn't take much for me to fire up, but the news Chris Jack may miss the South African test the weekend after next because his wife is due to give birth has me seething.
In case anyone has forgotten, international sport is war without guns - it is a time when nations collide head-on to decide who has the biggest kahunas and for Jack to get in touch with his feminine side when we are about to go up against the arch enemy would have Peter Jones and Kevin Skinner wondering why they spilt so much blood all those years ago.
Especially as we are facing our biggest crisis (with all the injuries to locks) since the Reserve Bank decided to take the world financial markets on. He's almost last man standing, and what does he decide to do? Go and hold his wife's hand while she pushes out some ugly sprog that will keep him awake at night for the next 18 years.
And while I'm at it, I know All Blacks are not exactly known for their intelligence but can someone teach these defenders of our nationhood how to count to 40? Next time any of them want to bonk their wife, girlfriend, mistress, boyfriend (have to be PC these days don't we) - whatever - tell them to look up a calendar, or better still - ban sex for international rugby players in the months of September and October so we don't have this ludicrous situation again.
Sheesh.
P.S. Can someone go and bonk Helen Clark in about 6 months time so she misses next year's election due to giving birth? Cheers.

Priorities? steak or mince? you are speaking from your heart and not your stomach... I'm disapointed =]
As I said on the Sportsfreak forum, the PArty Line that we're only talking about this is becuase of the injury issues.
That's tosh; if he was under genuine pressure from fit and in-form Ali, Robinson, Eaton, Ryan etc, he's be making sure he was on his way over...
As for your other challenge Rob, you might need to offer some serious $$$ for that one.
Leg Break.
