Given that, according to some polls, some third of the nation are not rugby fans
This is, I suspect, the only country upon the planet about which one could say this. Or would say it this way.
Only in NZ would one measure those who are not interested in rugby….
It’s nice that they have something to keep their minds of their chronic shortage of vowels.
Netball is big there too.
One day they will have to admit that sport is interesting to only a cetain type of person.
It is the opiate of the yobs.
Of course, we already know the sort of comment one may expect from the snobby, faux intellectual.
It’s actually harder I think to be a Kiwi not interested in rugby while living outside the country. Clients and co-workers keep on expecting me to know what’s been happening, while in NZ they already know for themselves.
