Hey! I was born and bred in Barcelona!!! I spent 26 years of my life there. What club did you play at in Barcelona?

Played many games against Nathan White when I was playing in the prems for Te Rapa. Hell of a man, and book end.

Cool! In USAP Barcelona, during 2005-2006. My brother was with me too, we were know as the two IKEAs. Smile

Lived on on a cross street to Tarragona, half way up the street from Placa de Espana.

I agree, Whitey is a great guy. We almost ended up as house mates, but in the end we (my brother was with me there too) stayed at the YWCA in Hamilton. Shocked

Picked up by a minivan every other day for training at Albert Park in Te Awamutu. This was back in 2004. Had a great time and learned so much about rugby. Meet and trained with Jono Gibbes and Sitivenu Sivivatu on one occasion and went on a weekend camp led by John Mitchell. Pretty cool for a couple of Swedish rugby players..

I'm razorbladeYfronts. I don't have any cool playing stories, just played a handful of times at school and touch to keep fit while living abroad.
My only RL link to NZ rugby is getting pissed with Xavier Rush at a bar in Cardiff about 10 years ago and watch him coming on to a girl that was well under 5-foot and gradually mess it up the drunker he got (the fact the rest of us were suggesting they make a porno didn't help the situation, but everyone thought it was a good idea at the time).

Razor, I have always been intrigued about Antarctica being your home in BR. I have gone between thinking you might be scientist or an evil oil exploiter, or perhaps that it's all some kind of ruse. scratch

Pray tell..

Donkey - It's because I'm a BR itinerant. Can't play in my home nation of Spain because of my allergy to Napoleon syndrome and sheeple, didn't want to put another home down so chose one of the places I'd love to call home. I'm a member of the BR Antarctica Massive, there are a few of us that campaign for the creation of the majestic BR Nation of Antarctica to rise from J's keyboard. I also love it on "Risk", well, that and Kamchatka.

Sparky - when you say lover ... ? affraid

Junior Yfronts (2011 model) has been singing "Let it go" for a year (school thing), so I don't know if that makes me love ice even more, or make me want to emigrate to Antarctica with just a club in hand.

On the theme though, there are quite a few BR inhabitants I wouldn't mind putting on ice .... in the mafia sense. clown

So we can assume NZ is the home you want to be at... for now?

I'll stay here (in one form or another) until Antarctica opens up.

I once had a university professor who said that we were free to submit our essays until "the end of times" (much nicer than the strict deadlines they have now).
Somehow I think the same applies here.. Smile

Just thought since im here could just as well do this.

For those who don't know I am Van Coke
South African by blood and friendly student as can be for a big Afrikaans guy. I am manager of Raionkingu in South Africa
Diggers in Japan

Amanojaku in Argintina.

Reason for joining is that i am a big fan of NZ in general and am possibly moving there after my studies and i am considering moving/opening a club in new zealand.

Also i love the philosophy with which NZ approaches rugby in all it's forms Very Happy
