ABs contemplating fern colour

ABs contemplating fern colour

22 Mar 2011

The All Blacks might consider using a red fern instead of the silver one during the upcoming World Cup.

The idea is to support Christchurch, who have lost the rights to host their seven World Cup fixtures because of the extensive damage suffered after February’s earthquake. Prime minister John Key, labour leader Phil Goff and World Cup minister Murray McCull all support this initiative.

All Blacks manager Darren Shand says donning a red fern in place of the usual silver fern is one of several ideas from members of the public of ways the team could honour Christchurch.

‘The team, together with the NZRU, will look to pay tribute to those who lost their lives as well as the wider Christchurch community in the most appropriate way,’ Shand told NZPA.

The NZRU will make the final decision at a later stage.

    There’s a labelling company called Redfern. Free advertising?

    yep, nothing but a cheap gimmick.

    People of Chch dont need to be reminded of the pooh theyre in.

    Changing the strip in any way just demeans it, like selling babygrows with the fern on it.

    If the ABs win Bill, the fine people of Chch can keep it for 4 years and pass it around the Carlton for their daily communion but it still wont rebuild their city on its lonesome.

    The fern should be brown, the color of poo.

    All Blacks just trying to cash in on sympathy reffing. The feel good sports story of the year. Ag, shame.

    If Bill was to reside in Canterbury for the next 4 years. The earth would stop moving. The Gods would be appeased.

    (well, maybe not, but wtf, when life is hell, we look to the heavens.)

    The Bokke already is the colour of poo.

    And hey……………………………………If your selectors continue to persevere with the dead-beat Bullies, the stench will be overpowering.

    Bottle green.

    And I agree. Only Botha, Matfield, du Preez, Hougaard and Steyn should make the Boks.

    @Black Panther(Black Panther)-13:

    No, I have natives working for me. I am too busy flying back and forth from LA and can’t be in two places at once.

    no, even more confused than that

    add ‘raised and educated in England’ !

    atleast it left him with a reputation for good humour, he would stick out in Pretoria like elephants balls on an ant.

    Gently now you two.

    When I said educated in England there are obviously limits as to what the fine teachers at Slough Comprehensive were able to achieve.

    The only time I have been to pretoria was to renew my British passport :lol:

    I dont believe Slough Comprehensive for a minute. I can spot a plum from a mile off.
