In London for a few days and the All Blacks (Rugby Union team rated the best in the world) are staying at the same hotel. They beat us to the breakfast room this morning and I’m a little surprised there was any food left. Anyway, we have these huge gentlemen roaming around in suits when they are not in training gear.
And they have shown exemplary behaviour from what i have seen. I have not seen one of them refuse an autograph or having their picture taken.
Seriously jealous, I really really want to attend one of their games live just so I can see the haka [well they also have some seriously cute players in that hulky sort of way!]
I was actually chatting with one tonight. I could say he was a hulk of a Maori but I don’t think it would narrow it down.
Really friendly- even to Australians- and unlike some of the prima donnas in the Australian team.
(On a sort of funnier note there are a few teenage delinquents staying in the hotel. Sort of what I imagine spoiled rich kids to be. The kids waltzed into breakfast this morning in some sleeveless tops to show how manly they were. A few of the All Blacks, dripping with muscles, went to the breakfast table beside them and really made them look pathetic. Meanwhile I tried to suck my fat gut in).
Apparently they performed Gangnam Style with Psy recently as well? Good sense of humor.
Cool. When I’ve seen rugby teams in person I’ve always been struck by how the “little” guys, the backs, aren’t actually little at all but only appear that way compared to the really big guys in the team.
Yes- it is a bit weird in that these guys have some size about them but aren’t really tall. However, the shoulders and the thighs- they are very fit young men.
And there seems to be a few young ladies interested in their movements.
