Virtually every week we get new and more interesting members from New Zealand on this site. We started off with my friends Brycy and Sasue p but now we have so many other friends here from Australia and New Zeaalnd. Welcome especially to Crusaders1 - hope he stays active and be a valued member of the site.
Beeno would say the more NZ members we get - the more difficult his cloud 9 sermons to them would be - he calls it education, but I would rather call it as mentioned above.
One thing is clear - there are clear division between the New Zealand members and the SA supporters. Insofar as the latter category is concerned - there are those members without a good word for any New Zealnd player, the All Blacks and any New Zealand franchises and there are the realists who tries to be objective.
Insofar as the SA supporters are concerned there are serious divisions between them as well. These divisions comes to the fore -
* during Super 15 - because of support for different SA franchises;
* From a national side there are serious disagreements about Meyer and his selection criteria - some members are his avid followers and supporters, others just can't stand him, them there are supporters of individual players (eg Morne Steync) and then others who cannot stand them and have their on hang ups on other players.
Then lastly there are a group of other members whose main objective is to cause trouble and become obnoxious from time to time - better to ignore their insults and name-calling though.
Despite the SH rugby break we are about to enter - we will have more to discuss than last year during that period when personal attacks became the only topic on this Board. So stick around - we may yet have reasonable discussions - even during the December and January.
