Hi Bill, just bought me one of these kits too! high five mate, great minds think alike!

I agree about the aerial ping pong. Bring on union any day - pity that the Force are a spent one and on a good day are average.

Try being an Auckland Blues supporter Brendan, it's excruciating.

Welcome to the forum Bill, look forward to seeing your build progress.

Aaaah - so much promise - so little delivery.

Debman - thanks for the welcome - & your artwork in the 'other talents' thread is brilliant!

Brendan/ FrankenWashie - I grew up playing the game they play in heaven (prop until I grew a neck, then I became a breakaway) but went right off the game when they started messing around so badly with the laws of the game. I'm now more of a leaguie, yeah I know it's a thugs game but I was a prop remember I still catch the occasional Brumbies game though.

Andy40 - only the best

BillB I am currently fighting the pre season battle, My rugby Club says "Come back to pre-season, we need a couple o good props" I say, I am RETIRED!! And my right ankle no longer works properly. It doesn't seem to dissuade them.
And props are not thugs, we are simply masters of a dark art known to few, and feared by the weak, callow and foppish. You know them, they're called backs.

Im lucky I'm old enough to remember super 12, and as far back as the first three seasons of super 10 because thats how far back you have to look for Auckland Glory.

You're a braver man than I!

backs, backs, hmmmmmm. I think I remember them. Used to hang around after the game and see who could tell the biggest lie?
