I've heard he's hanging up his boots.

Dane Schardendorf signs a 2 year contract, that's a helluva achievement for an 18 year old.

You forget the small matter of the British colonizing the planet and then abandoning and stabbing their people in the back, the least they can do is hand out a few passports. 😂

I was always p**sed off at how few rights New Zealanders had in the UK compared to other EU nationals. Given the huge price NZ paid in numerous wars fighting for Britain it didn't seem fair that we were sent to the back of the queue behind the Eastern Europeans. Maybe post-Brexit these things will change?

Sadly they view the ex-colonialists in the same manner as they would a stray dog that had just impregnated the corgi.

Very short memories indeed.

More Rhodesians, per capital, were killed in WW2 than any other nation on the planet, including England!

That's when the Rhodesian African Rifles came into existence. Black folk were also coerced into fighting a war in a far away land that they didn't give a rat's arse about.

The Gurkas were also booted into touch.

The British owe us. Full stop.


My grandfather was in India during WW2 and got absolutely nothing for it. Biggest scam ever lol. A war he had no shares in.

You'll get no charity from the Indians either. 😂

Both teams 171 all out on a half decent pitch by all accounts.

Weather closing in and a player feeling sick and going for a covid test. Will the game be called off if he's positive?

Big Big thunderstorm. I'm sure that's it for the day.

Another well planned lemon.

How they treated most soldiers after the war/service was bad, like my grandfather didn't get any pension after 14 years service. The UK was broke after the war. I guess the thing black people and your grandfather got was Zimbabwe/Africa being under nazi or Japanese or Italian rule. That would have been far worse than British rule, so I guess he was fighting for that.

ZANE is a good charity that helps African and other veterans who fought for the crown. Has anyone see the WW2 memorial tower statue at Harare gardens, it had a tree growing out if the top last time I visited 😂

The crazy part is that a red (now blue) book for a faraway little island is so highly valued. Most people would give their left ball bag for citizenship of the country most despised by the people they ruled over. The irony. 😂

And then once they're there they want an enclave that closely resembles the shithole they escaped from 😂

The world is a messed up place.

When they're there they send money back to their homeland and hanker for the day they can return to a better life, when they're here they'll do anything to leave and get over there.

There's a solution- let the British recolonize us and we can all complain bitterly about it in the comfort of our homes 😂

Unfortunately the Chinese have beaten the Poms to it, but nobody will want to go to live in China any time soon.
