Kiwi's World Cup Squad

[Jesbass]

Alright team, how are we going? Five days until full time.

Mine just needs a bit of re-jigging, and then it'll go in. I was tempted to leave it late, but with all of the problems LU is experiencing at the moment, it probably isn't worth the risk.

Ray and dragon, how are the backup articles going?

Furry, bandido, how are your pieces coming along?

Starters:
Jesbass (c) (finalising the piece)
MKEB... (??)
[furrycat] (?? - still need that haka! )

Bench:
rayroxon (working on it)
dragon_psa (??)

 

[Jesbass]

Awesome haka, Furry! Nice to see the new one on display. :thumn

The Kiwis can now officially take to the field and start laying on head high tackles...I mean, posting articles...

 

[rayroxon]

About 2/3 of the way through. It's hard sourcing my stuff in the middle of the work day as my boss thinks I'm being a hobo.

It shall be done though!

Alright, team, the Irish lineup has been posted:

The Irish team staggers into Front row stadium from the pub across the road, handing out Guinness to the Kiwi team. The captain appears to have had a little bit of Irish courage as she hands out garlands of four leaf clovers...

Congrats on 3 in Jesbass and your Kiwi's

Many thanks, BK. :thumn

 

[rayroxon]

Cheers BK. Looks to be a toight one.

JB, I'm happy to take a bench spot seeing as I ended up playing this one but will write right, right, regardless.

 

[miccle]

Well played NZ!

Thoroughly enjoyed all of the contributions to this clash, I reckon we've got a pretty close old game on the cards. Definitely don't envy the ref!

 

[rayroxon]

Thanks Miccle and welcome back to the game as well. Your early post set the bar pretty high. Reading through our stuff it was ok, but I feel the one that let us down was the quotes article. That guy has a lot to answer for...

Thanks, mate. This is where bribery and taking the ref out on a bender come in handy! (In the spirit of the game, of course! )

Don't worry about him, Ray. I sacked him. :sarcasm:

 

[Jesbass]

The Kumuls are looking angry, so who else is keen? Remember that everyone is writing for this round, if at all possible...

Nah that's just the way they always look. Especially that Titanic guy...angriest one of the bunch...
