Merry Xmas from NZ & dawned sunny here on Waiheke Island.
As a side note any tips on getting a 12yo dog post hip operation to take a bloody leak would be much appreciated. Silly old sod is refusing

He damn well does need to apologise 😁
Immediately accepted & enjoy trip.
I’m stupidly over there in June next year - QPR to remain unbeaten

Not sure NZ has ever got him out - in tests anyway.
Generational talent for sure

It’s killing the game in NZ with our smaller playing pool. Anyone world class is going into world circuit for the $$ ( can’t be blamed for that) & just had our summer season released - one home test series completed before Xmas & summer has even begun.
Rest is just one dayers & 20:20 which all blurs into nothing minute it’s finished.
Fine having as part of calendar but have to keep tests

Seen a lot of him at start of his career for local club in A League Wgtn Phoenix. Very skilful and scored goals from start of his career. Good enough for Bayern to sign him which is mind boggling. Think he started ok and even got a few sub appearances but clearly too big a step. Also couple of injuries haven’t helped. Lot of talent there and would be big opportunity for him - interesting punt.

20:20 really a risk of ruining the game here in NZ with several top players opting out of NZ contracts to play in India & now STH African leagues. Kane Williamson latest to opt out so our best batsman joins best bowler just playing occasional game for NZ.
Can’t blame them chasing the $$ as nowhere near the salaries that Indian/Aussie & England players get. Fear NZ will end up like West Indies with weak national team & best players on 20:20 circuit.

Negative - had 3yr spell hitting 30 where lost best mate to suicide, my Dad & my Mum.
Positive- at start of that horror show met my now wife of 23yrs & birth of our 2 girls
Negative - wife went for mammogram being assured it “was nothing” - wasn’t nothing and pretty shocking couple of weeks waiting for prognosis with 2 girls under 10.
Positive - 14yrs post that time & make sure we get on with things vs putting it off.

Cricket - tests
NRL - rugby league
Rugby - tests only & have to add that to retain NZ citizenship.

Been lucky to go to Aussie Open tennis & loved that but don’t watch otherwise.

Just there last month & from media reports thought we were headed to disaster zone of homeless & drug addicts etc. Pleased to say while we saw glimpses it was way exaggerated & we loved our 3-4 days. Fine day definitely do harbour under Golden Gate & Alcatraz was worth the visit.
We also did a SF Love Tour which is a couple of hours in a VW Combi van seeing the city - excellent guide & great way to see different districts to go back to. Did a walking food tour of Mission District & that’s another good way to see city - some excellent graffiti art & can see impact of tech money as walk a few blocks - gentrification at pace. Enjoy

Auckland so hour or two south.
Beautiful part of the country Northland - some of the best beaches in NZ.

Scoured the world for that list and even got to NZ with Paulsen.
Wgtn are top of A league and he’s been great part of their success- couple of penalty saves as well.
Surprised he’s 6 foot as looked little shorter to me.
Sure will be a long shot but congrats to article author for their coverage

Like many on here he is the image of QPR that hooked me as a youngster - even from opposite side of the world. Brilliant player & unique character . Very sad news for morning here but also smiling at memories of him…

They’ve managed to keep it going with 2 seasons to follow of Bosch Legacy - no plot spoilers other than standards are maintained.
Think latest iteration of True Detective with Jodie Foster looks good and if want couple of hours of outback Aussie true crime with very odd cast of characters check out Last Stop Larrimah on Netflix

Honestly think AB arrogance would be fair call other tournaments but expectations very low at start of tournament. Foster has been dead man walking for past year or two & pleased he goes out with head high.
Let’s see who we’re playing next hour or two…

Mate that’s a blast from the past - from NZ perspective would add Mark Graham to league icons - 100% muscle and hard as nails.
Richard Hadlee was wonderful part of my younger years in largely shite NZ side.
Roger Federer - lucky enough to see at Aussie Open a few times and incredible while barely seeming to break a sweat.
Usain Bolt - saw him win London 2012 & perfection as sprinter.

Really hard to get too excited in pool play & then for NZ side of draw it’s all on QF and not much difference winning or coming second in group as Ireland or Sth Africa the opponents.
Ireland with better recent record against us and possibly favour SA despite the walloping they gave us at Twickenham. We stuffed them game prior and have decent record over past few years.
Would like to see new team win it so Ireland or France but tough road to get there
