Where Rugby Sits

John is a Hurricanes stalwart. On several occasions now we have ventured out on a Friday morning looking for somewhere to watch the rugger. John adorned in his 'canes shirt. The golf club was a great spot but lately we have been going to Rydges as they have been publishing what matches they'll be showing over the weekend. So last weekend the 'canes were playing at 6pm local time. We venture down to support the boys. At the same time there was a football feed coming in from England. Man U vs Blackburn. They had this up on the big screen with the rugby taking second fiddle on the small tvs. This was due to the large English contingent in the room at the time. If you can imagine 30-40 English watching the game on the big screen and three kiwis sitting perpendicular to the main event staring at a small telly watching the rugby. The highlight in sometimes watching John and his responses rather than the rugby itself. He didn't let us down. The referee made what John decided was a dubious call against the 'canes. So John expresses his frustration at the ref's cal in true style. It coincided with a slight paue in the football commentary. Head's turned , people stopped talking. It was almost like a western scene. John was totally oblivious. Love it.
