One thing I genuinely didn't know until last weekend was that the guy who is the new England rugby captain is from New Zealand. I heard him being interviewed and thought WTF? So I googled him and he's a proper Kiwi who obviously realised at some point that he was too **** to play for New Zealand so switched allegiances and probably qualifies because his granny used to own an English Setter. So the coach is Australian and the captain is a New Zealander. I think the man of the match was also from New Zealand.
That's a wee lassie you know. A wee lassie and no mistake. It still holds the Scotch 100metres record.
