Not much of a soccer nation, New Zealand. In fact, they broadcast only the highlights of the earlier games on free-to-air. But we know what we like.
(To tell the truth, after every Soccer World Cup, Rugby looks a tedious at first, throwing the ball backwards, getting in circles conferring, ear biting and stomping. But we still love our Boys in Black.)
Update: Edwin S thinks it says "Great Abs". Honestly, at this time of the year, "AB" means only one thing over here, and I can't even entertain the idea it could be anything else. I wonder if I should stalk the car and ask the owner.
The licence plate says Great Abs! Great self-confidence!
ReplyDeleteOh, Man, I didn't even think twice. This time of the year when we see AB, it's just automatically All Blacks.... I don't know if I'm embarassed or crushed, Edwin. (It still could be the ABs, though. ???)
ReplyDeleteTrue, Jane, True. I just find it funny how I never doubted at all until Edwin brought up another possibility. I'm not a mad Rugby fan; I'm probably a below-average one. I don't follow the Super 14 (NZ, Oz, and South Africa have a total of 14 teams forming a league) until maybe the semi-finals, and not at all the new Air New Zealand Cup (the provincial league), but when those boys play Australia or South Africa, Ben and I get fired up from a couple of days before. All good fun. I don't understand some of the rules...
