    Reg Goodes has been talked of as a future Allblack
    if he holds his own against the Chiefs props then
    he certainly has potential

    So what does a keewee band do to get a hit song?
    Simple,rip off another band.
    Mt Eden Dubstep is a case in point.
    Go and listen to their song “Sierra Leone”.
    They took “I’d like” by Freshly Ground and molested a beautifull love song.
    i do not mind a collab like Paul Simon did with Ladysmith Black Mombazo
    or The Art of Noise did with Mahotella and the Mahlatini Queens on “Yebo” etc but this blatant rip off is not on.
    Then again what do you expect from a dull boring country,surely not creativity.
    Must be sad when your neighbour Oz which was started as a penal colony rised above your own country in all fields.
    Hen pecked inferiority complex I tell you.
    Know your place keewees.
    As you were.

    @spartan(spartan)-4:

    Could easily be convinced to rather try his luck with the Springboks. Surely deep down he’d be wishing he could rather be a Bok.

    He went to Affies and only moved to Wellington a few years ago… just FYI everybody.

    Morning,I hope you are keeping the keewees honest.
    I did a personal remake of a old disco classic when I was down there.
    You are prob too young to know the song but you can ask your parents.

    @Fern is not a stud,he is merely no19(Fern)-9: instead of worrying about NZ so much (you really do seem infatuated with our little islands) why dont you do something about this sort of thing

    “A staggering 3 000 cases of sexual abuse of children are being dealt with by Childline in KwaZulu-Natal.”

    The only possible excuse the Chiefs will have if they lose is fatigue.

    They looked shot to bits against the Sharks, the travel back will have done them no favours either, but I am still picking them to roll the Canes.
