I am clean on… today, so I can be both brief and fresh all at the same time!  Too much Information?  Okay, maybe after a few more posts!

Is anyone still reading?  Phew, thanks Ma’a!

Moving right along… It was great to have our largest numbers of members leaving a comment on the blog with this Pick the Score Competition post.  Excited?  Much!  Rest assured that iamjonnyking is on the case, and with the next All Blacks Tri-Nations Test Match versus the Bokke, South Africa, in Johannesburg, Sunday week (NZ Time), I will get the next Pick the Score Competition up in the middle of next week, where you can also win!

However, that is all future, and we have a winner to announce.

While no-one was really particularly close… well, except for the member who decided to enter at half-time [gotta give them points for trying], the person who was closest, with a collective 10 points out, was… tealeaves… Member # 0007590 

If there was a crowd, they would be going wild about now!

Congratulations, High-Five, Knuckles, Group-Hug, and Warm Regards!

We will get in contact with you sooner than the next Wallaby win… Okay, you might not make 175… Anyway, stay tuned, as we are on your case!

What has tealeaves won?

No, there will be no Dilmah in this prize pack, but the contents of this prize are a guarded secret.  We have named this prize, The Tri-Nations Backing Black Member Mystery Prize Pack… for short ;-)… and just like the title, there is more than one piece of this prize for the winner, winner, to enjoy!

Therefore, next time, you can ALL be in to win!

Now, a Word for all our International Members… All NZ Members Read Along Silently!

We at BackingBlack want you all to know how seriously stoked we are to have members from all corners on this planet… and we are greedy for our good-guys, so we want more!  We know there are a multitude of fans and people who love the All Blacks and want to become members, and we say, Come Join our Tribe, You Fit Perfectly!

We also know that as members, you are probably reading about a number of prizes that you would love to have an opportunity to be a winner, winner TV dinner with… Trust me, I feel your pain.  Yes, I have enjoyed every All Black home test… from my couch… that deserves an “EpicFail” with a # for me!  Don’t cry for me, Argentina, but living in middle New Zealand does have its breaks 😉

Therefore, I get that you want to be on the dance floor when the music is on, and I will do my best to play DJ for all those living outside of this land that longs under this great All Black cloud.

In fact, as I speak, there is a Competition for 3 All Black jerseys, signed by the 2010 Investec Tri-Nations Squad… I AM SURE THIS INCLUDES OUR INTERNATIONAL MEMBERS… Breathing Still?!  Be in to Win!  Come on, I want to win this as well… Pick me, Pick me!

If you are an overseas member, we would love to hear from you, so please leave a comment, telling us where you are from, and why the All Blacks are your team.

Let’s do lunch and do life!

You will hear from me again soon… Sorry!’

Until Next Time
