However, this blast from our rugbying past is soon-to-be-our-present, as a “Donkey” and a “King” are about to be hit with a “Kong,” as the 4th and final instalment in Bledisloe 2010 finds its fulfillment in a Hong Kong central skyline, at the end of this month of October!
In New Zealand, while the colours of summer have begun to return to our worldview, I realise many a BackingBlack member has found the weekends without the All Blacks for company to be painful, not to mention, boringly mundane. This says nothing for those who are facing a world of winter… alone in a rugby world.
Before this scenario sends some members to a very unhappy place, let me remind you that in four Saturday’s time, and for the following four that will make fiveSaturday’s-come-
Now, while the Commonwealth Games 7s Team can provide some Black Jersey relief, I have something to settle your nerves and encourage your resolve, as we all beckon the beginning of another season of All Blacks rugby!
While anticipating an All Blacks defeat proves to be your worst nightmare, have you ever wondered why the All Blacks have dominated the nation of the Wobbly in recent rugby events?
While we long want this to continue, and look forward with youthful enthusiasm to a fourth and final clash in 2010, we believe we have been offered the evidence… for all to see!
EXHIBIT A
There are too many points of evidence to document, but this year we have been given many-a-reminder of the skill, talent, and all round McCawesomeness of this All Blacks squad. Time and again, in an 80 minute rugby moment, they confirm to all watching worldwide that while the Black jersey intimidates, it is their mad skillz that dominate, as they saunter with style, onto victory.
In the following footage, their actions speak louder than their words! Who would have thought such, off-the-cuff, fun and games after training, in a first take, no less [insert: photo of a tongue in a cheek], would become such a hit? 860,000 views at the time of writing!
Just goes to show you, we can’t get enough, can’t get enough, No!
However, if not to illuminate and exemplify for this same watching world to see, and if a 10 Zip recent record over the Wobblies wasn’t enough to convince you that something wasn’t right with the ‘Bouncing Roobies‘ over the Ditch, we have been given an inside look at a Brumbies take on the All Blacks training phenomenon.
Warning: Viewers are warned not to copy such Australian activities as these could prove harmful to your form and future, not to mention your health. These activities were performed by ‘trained’ Australians and should not be attempted by such ‘untrained’ individuals.
Watch At Your Own Risk!
Now, while it is said, if you can’t beat’em, join’em, these Australian rugby players may have taken this concept past the brink! A moment’s silence for this concept’s demise at the hand of the Wobbly!
Hopefully these videos may have encouraged a chortle or three, as such should be a small reminder of why our All Blacks prove to be so good so often, as they can even make the unbelievable, believable, and while this may have more cheese than burger, they are our reigning Kings of Rugby, and will be so again, before you can say, A Pinch and a Punch for the First (er, 4th) of the Month!
Keep the Faith with us on the BackingBlack blog, as we count the days down to when the All Blacks put the “King” into the “Kong” of one “Hong.”
We still have much to say… Surprised?
What Say You?
Until Next Time
