When did it become the super 14?

After a look on the trusty website Wikipedia it seems that this major change occurred in about 2006 which interestingly occurs at about the same time I last gave a crap about super 14 or rugby union for that matter.

For some reason on Saturday night the pub I was at were showing a super 14 game on the big screen. I say for some reason, as there were absolutely zero people watching it. I take much satisfaction from the fact that rugby union is dying a natural death in this country for one simple reason, it is freaking boring. More satisfying is that I have been spruiking this fact for a number of years.

Given the choice of watching the Queensland Reds play the Auckland Blues and the Queensland Firbirds play the Northern Mystics in a hotly contested game of netball I would choose the fire birds every single time. Yes I am suggesting that netball is a far more entertaining sport than rugby union.

And I finish todays belated rant with the following. If you like rugby union as a sport you have a major problem. It seems your wife has removed your testicles in your sleep, put them in her hand bag and supplemented your viagra pills with estrogen.

I have been away for work but am back on deck this week. If you need help with locating your testicles let me know.
