It's Serious Stuff.

A woman at work was telling me that she could hear her husband speaking on the telephone on Sunday. She said he was sounding deeply distressed.

'OH NO! No, no, no. Fuuuuuuck. Please say it isn't so. No. NO. NO.NO!'

My colleague said she was beside herself. She was desperately motioning to him to tell her what had happened. After was seemed like a lifetime to her, he hung up.

'What's happened? Whose died?' She asked her emotionally truamatised husband.

'Dan Carter's out of the World Cup.'

Ohh, it's very serious Jayne. As a commenter said in an earlier post, if we lose the RWC she thinks the plan is to disband the country and sink the land in the pacific!

That was just if we failed to make it out of the pool stages. If we lose from this point on, the plan is to do what we've done every other time, ie completely lose all perspective and go into national mourning. Except this time half the world will see us do it.

I'm actually really sorry he's gone (and I'm not just saying that now that we're out), I think he's absolutely brilliant and it's a shame that he's not going any further.

(PS I hope you lot win now).
