Rugby in the Philippines is a highly addictive substance. It is a brand of glue. When I was there many young people were into sniffing the stuff with the end result – an addled brain.
Rugby is Nu Zulun is likewise a highly addictive substance. The football game has been called a national obsession. Once again the national team (the All Blacks) has been soundly thrashed by the South African Team (the Springboks).
Nu Zulun is awash with New Zealand males in withdrawal – gnashing their teeth, beating their breasts. Talkback radio is replete with endless analysis of what went wrong - real evidence (just listen for a short time if you can stomach it) of addled brains.
The sad thing is that with this addiction to rugby in the media, many of our less prominent sports miss out. For example the Nu Zulun Cross country Champs were held on Saturday and not a mention in the Herald on Sunday.
