Firko, much respect for your knowledge of and love for the game, but has ANYONE ever "conned the ref" more than George "four more years" Gregan? He could give lessons.
Yep....Without doubt the Grand Poobah of ref con men was the great All Black hooker Sean Fitzpatrick. Nobody came close to bullshitting referees like the big guy.
"Sir, I didn't deliberately gouge my opponents eye, his head fell onto my index finger, twice, I'm so sorry Sir". I loved him, his battles with Phil Kearns were legendary, arguably the two greatest hookers in the modern game, face to face.
You Kiwis can taunt us as much as you like but let's see how cocky you are in September next year when the World Cup choking fit starts up again. We here in Australia understand the importance the All Blacks have in the make up of New Zealand's psyche. It's the only thing that you can beat us at (
besides womens netball), so it's imperative you keep winning for the nations self esteem to remain intact.
Let's see how UnZud goes in the Commonwealth Games next month. I can't see too much gold coming your way.
