[QUOTE="NZbloke, post: 1064991, member: 85358"] Giday mate, Yeah, would be a really good idea to have an ANZUK team playing against the Boks - ABs have the best win-loss record in the history of the game, but since Foster has had the team they haven't actually performed like the ABs should be playing, when he was appointed a lot of NZers were saying he was a poor choice at the time... he's not selecting the right players, playing players out of position, changing too many players every game so our cohesion isn't much chop, tactically he's hopeless too, he's ruining the reputation of All Black rugby. NZers will always have a huge respect for Upham, yeah, he was a very humble, they reckon he showed much more concern about the safety of the men he was leading into battle than his own life, that speaks volumes of the bloke - true, the Commonwealth ties have faded a fair bit, but sport is always a good way to help keep the Commonwealth countries pretty close, an event like the Commonwealth Games is a great example... would like to see a slight change to our flag, like a fern added, just gives that bit of kiwi touch to it. Sounds like a pretty close choice between the forces & doing a Masters & the job... as you say though mate, you'd still have to take a lot of satisfaction with been in the Corps in your teens & early 20's. Bet you found it more difficult balancing uni with cricket, as it's a time consuming game, compared to rugby or soccer which is over under two hours... at one point at college on Saturday I was playing soccer in the morning for the college & rugby in the arvo for a club, got a bit hectic :) so had to play soccer one year & rugby the next, also like playing tennis. That's great you have 3 sweaters from each one of the forces. [/QUOTE]
