I'd love to see the All Blacks...
Win every World Cup, starting in 2011
My favourite place to watch the All Blacks is:
The Old Embankment at Lancaster Park... Special! I can still remember standing there, with Father, watching the 1987 World Cup - All Blacks versus Fiji.
I reckon that...
The Truth Will Set You Free!

I should probably explain myself a little more.
At this stage, you are right, with the midfield combination in such great consistent form, to break through this combination, SBW will have to do something... "sonny-sational" to unseat Messrs Nonu and Smith. Recently, Greg Martin, the Fox Sports commentator made the same point about the midfield combos and SBW breaking into the ABs
However, for the EOYT, which is a different beast, where a squad of players is chosen, I believe he has a position locked and loaded, with only something disastrous, like his legs falling off, stopping this from becoming a reality. This will allow both the coaches and player maximum time to try and get the best out of the SBW!
This would mean, as far as game-time, he may very well get a start, but he would definitely see some game-time from the bench.
Just checked... again... No word if SBW will be in the 22 this weekend for Canterbury... but I would be surprised if he wasn't... time will be telling.
TheRanger - Would You Take SBW on the EOYT?

Good work!
I think you have touched on an important point, which is, together we can achieve [insert: scream] more! Hopefully the sections for Backing Black supporters starts to take off for each Test, and then we can have hundreds [insert: Thousands] of members screaming the same thing, at the same time.
Not only will this result in a great time together, but it should pump up the volume!

Yes, we in New Zealand, particularly in our rugby culture, are rather reticent in supporting out-loud when we watch our rugby in the flesh. However, this is something at Backing Black that we are trying to encourage-to-change. This silence in our support is not true in all our sporting culture, as I was at the All Whites vs Bahrain Football World Cup Qualifier, where the crowd support was manic.
Absolutely! We do need to work on our support, and if each person follows your example, this is how change will develop, grow, and flourish.
Keep supporting the boys out-loud, we know they really appreciate it, and we will continue to join with you in this task at Backing Black!

However, we would not want to give anything away too soon ;-)

Yes, International as far as living outside of New Zealand, but right at Home as far as being All for Black. We really just wanted all Members to know that we are not only One Team, One Tribe, Together, but to see this in reality. Therefore, being part of what happens practically can help to underscore this.
I read that you are passionate, tell us your story... and where do you call home?
All other Members residing outside NZ, we would also love to read some of your story!

Big Weekend Coming!

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. It is great to have your readership, feedback, and interaction. No, I am not being funny... This is my sincere typing voice!
I shall look forward to reading more of your comments/ reactions/ thoughts out-loud, in the near future!
If I don't read another comment from you for some time, I may have to do a post on Piri Weepu as well ;-)... Yes, I did read your profile.
Hope the future posting provides you more of what has come to date.

Okay, enough poor humour... no one was really that close... However, the person who was closest when both scores were compared with the 20-10 final score was...
Drum-Roll Please...
tealeaves, who were 10 points out... beating Messi, who were 11 points out.
Thank you to everyone who entered.
I will make sure for the next All Black Test in South Africa, that this competition is up sooner... so, Backing Black members from around this World, you will have another chance to WIN!
Stay Tuned tealeaves... In fact, please share your feelings and emotions at this moment of adulation!
We will be in touch about the prize... your prize "tealeaves"

Great to hear from so many members. We want to stay connected with you all, so don't be a stranger. Come back often and stay long!
Just to dispel the rumor, No, the prize for the winner is not a lunch of eggs on toast, via an all expenses paid Taxi ride, to the home of iamjonnyking!
It's gonna be a big night for our All Blacks, and particularly Ma'a Nonu. Make sure you read the post celebrating his time in the Black jersey... and leave a comment, while you're on a roll.
May the best nostril-gazer win!
I will get back to you about who is the WINNER, WINNER... and then we "should" be in a better position to inform the WINNER, what they have indeed won!
The Anthems are about to begin... GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!

Now, if you are confused, this is a problem for those with a blogging disease. However, while this isn't catchy it does include you!
You see, this is the little 'friend' that has made jiggery pokery with the formatting in this post, and it is having a little par-tae... once again!
So Yes, while the opening line in this piece held its own, I didn't plan to push 'repeat,' thereby basking in its rhetorical glory!
Therefore, I utter multiple 'Hail Henry's' for this and other issues!
"Can you ever forgive me?" You are a faithful member!
That is all
Carry On :-)
