[QUOTE="kiwi2, post: 120739"] Well the music genre is a whole new ball game, so we won’t go there. [SIZE=2]Fcukernaut. [/SIZE] :cheers: It’s great to see you moving onto senior rugby. We are losing too many of our young rugby players. You guys are our rugby future. Follow your dreams in rugby, as there is a good future in sport here or abroad. It can also set up lifetime friendships. :fb: We NZer’s aren’t arrogant but we are and always have been pretty tough on ourselves and have high expectations.
