Wallabies vs All Blacks online

Then BB weighs in: “Australia has smaller condoms though.” I call bullshit. OK, he concedes, “just unsubstantiated speculation”. There’s some talk of all the talented Kiwis who have left — Russell Crowe, Keith Urban, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, one of Rod Stewart’s former wives. Yet, as I point out, some talented ones have gone Wallabies vs All Blacks  back including actress Rebecca Gibney and former All Black fly-half Dan Carter. One of us (OK, me) may have mentioned that no Wallaby in living memory has been as, ahem, enjoyable to watch as Carter. I venture a few things which still make me nostalgic for New Zealand: Sam Neill; date scones; home baking generally; the landscape; Air New Zealand flight safety videos; feijoas; the midsummer light, saying “deck” and people not laughing.

 and the kid who plays Ricky Baker in Hunt For The Wilderpeople.But Australia is home, the core of my heart and, but for in sport, I can’t play the two nations off any longer. It’s like choosing between your children when you know that both Wallabies vs All Blacks live  are delightful, idiosyncratic and infuriating in different ways. It’s the same with our states and territories — there’s nothing to be gained by our tired yet ongoing rivalry rhetoric. Victoria is suffering and none of us should be crowing. These are hard days we’re living through and rarely has there been more need for cohesion over division. The pandemic is pummelling us on every front. Economically, socially and psychologically we are struggling but one day — who knows when.

 we will cross borders and seas again. And just as we did on the shores at Gallipoli, we’ll once again celebrate our commonalities not our differences. There is nothing I’d love more right now than to get on a plane to see my family in New Zealand. I miss them more than I ever have. My brother in Japan clearly feels the same. “Do you know what I love best about Australia?” he messages, long after our banter has finished. I watch the dots flicker as he types. “My sister lives there.”Despite describing herself as “the boring old fuddy-duddy who Wallabies vs All Blacks Rugby stream  stands at the back” the Queen’s only daughter has proven herself to be the epitome of calm and care. She turned 70 yesterday; let’s hope she’s inherited her parents’ longevity genes. UNDERPANTS Am I the only one who thinks they need to revert to toddlerhood and start wearing underpants with the days of the week embroidered on them? Every day is Blursday right now. FISH TACOS My girls love tacos and I’ve discovered an easy hack. Prepare all the easy bits — avo, onion, tomato, lettuce, aioli — then order fish cocktails from your local fish and chip shop to pop on top. Takes the stress out of frying.
