Oh, and Jimmy Cowan...
Wow good on you mate!!!!!!!Just met Dan Carter. :bleh!: :cheers: :lol:

Haha...well that is why Jimmy psycho drink angus bar brawler Cowan was with Carter. Â A bit like how Richard Loe used to walk around with Lomu.I'm talking to a mate from Neath now and he's asking me why I didn't clock him one. xD[/b]
Well we ignore the AB's as well here in NZ....we just stand at a distance and pretend we are not doing anything but secretly we are having little glances....and then when we are out of earshot we say Thats Dan carter OMG!"f***.
Yeah, when he asked why I didn't try anything I was like, he was with Jimmy Cowan, and he looks a mean prick!
What I couldn't believe was that out of the many people around, that no one was taking any notice of them. That really pees me off for some reason, I was thinking, here is the best player in world rugby, a guy who will go down as one of the all-time greats of the game and no one could give two shits.
Hmmm.[/b]
Shane practically ran me over before the Celtic League final in 2001 (He's got his name on the side of his Merc.....) and I met JPR in the Cardiff Squash club before the Italy game this year, he's an awesome bloke. it would have been an honour to meet Grav, I well up every time i think about him.It's f***ing awesome when you meet the big guys isn't it?
And it's so easy to do so in cardiff. Walk past the hilton at about 9am and you'll see them in the dining area eating their breakfast, on display infront of the public.
I'm surprised nobody takes any pictures or stands and stares. Everybody looks in as they walk past tho. Lol.
I've been lucky enough to meet loads of world class rugby players in the past.
I used to work in a rugby shop in cardiff and touring players would often come in just for replacement studs, or some tape or something like that and becuase of this i've met quite a few.
My list: -
Dan Carter
Ma'a Nonu
Ali Williams
Rico Gear
Luke McAllister
Leon Macdonald
Kevin Meealamu
Bryan Habana
Victor Matfield
Juan Smith
Matt Giteau
Lote Tuqiri
Chris Latham
Stirling Mortlock
Those guys truly stand out as recognisable names when they walked into my shop.
A bunch of others also come in, but lots were pacific islanders and i don't know many of those players.
I've also had the pleasure of meeting the likes of Lomu, Campese, Carling (ahem), JPR, JJ Williams, Gareth Edwards, Ray Gravelle, Shane Williams, Henson, Alun Wyn Jones and Ian Evans.
Jamie Roberts, Rhys Williams and Jamie Robinson were always in the shop, but they most notably bought welsh rugby jerseys. Lol.[/b]
Yeah I'm not suprised to hear that, Matfield is the biggest person I've ever seen in person. I still want to see Andries Bekker who holds the record for the tallest Springbok ever at 2.09m!
I hadn't see Mortlock live but he looks an intimidating character. Looks like the kind of person who'll head butt your nose into your skull in a bar fight :lol:[/b]
A "spare" facebook account. Â What were you??? Â A supermodel????That's nothing... I had Carlos Spencer as a friend on my spare Facebook account.
Yeah!
