Wrong again, that man.......!
...... The really bad ones they sent to New Zealand...
Lissen here young feller, I'll have you know that ONLY people of high-standing, high intelligence, handsome appearance, fit and strong bodies, great reproductive :thumbsup: abilities, were "invited" (heh) to emigrate to New Zealand back in the day!!
All those oiks that didn't "cut the mustard" were bundled down into the bilges of those 'olde worlde' sailing ships, and heaved over the side of the ship when it called into Sydney, Oz, before it sailed on to NZ!
Because those reprobates were mainly illiterates, dustmen, common criminals, etc, they were expected to look after themselves in that sunburnt, dusty country!
Because of those early experiences, they were never able to come to grips with learning the basic rules of that gentleman's game of RUGBY.
Sadly, they have languished in that role of "only second best" ever since!!
cheers, Ian - NZ
