Listening to how well the NZ commentators pronounce the Jaguares player names makes me cringe thinking about the skippy commentators mangling them when they play over here!
OMG, the "hagyuwarees". WTF was that shizzle?
Can't wait for them to play the Gaidenheil* .....

^^^^^ don't tell anyone but my GGM Agnes Falcon may have been English. Lucky for me she married a German bloke with the surname Ludwig & their son married a Scots lassie (face like the back end of a battleship but family money I mean true love conquers all, esp when you've just done 90 days in jail for jumping ship in what you thought was Adelaide but turned out to be Bluff (TBF, 'twas the end of WW1 & the mere Royal Navy Division squaddies weren't permitted to know where the actual fuck on the globe they were)) down Gore ways, their son married my dear old mum & her people are a blend of Lallans Scots, Scots-Irish & Welsh from way back...
I'm whiter than Ben Smith. bro.Gotta recite your whakapapa first in order to establish your right to be heard. Shit, it's like you've never been on a marae for a Hui or tangi.....
Me too (obviously, given the above) but it doesn't matter, it's all about what's on the inside. I think having a Scots and/ or Irish background helps, it's often been said that the Celts & Maori are brothers underneath the skin (possibly also because back in the day it was Celts & Maori who did most of the actual work, at the behest of the English).
Akira Ioane has such a terrible attitude. He's always starting niggle. It's like he's still in high school trying to terrorize kids half his size (almost literally).
