Sadly it did sum up the stereotypical Canterbury rugby head perfectly.
I am a born and bred Cantabrian and most times happy and proud of that. I get frustrated however when ( Durmast you will admit to doing this I am sure ) all Cantabrians get lumped in together.
I flew up to a S14 game in Wellington last year and was surrounded by my fellow Cantabs. I ended up walking off the flight thinking no wonder we have such a bad name. One eyed is one thing but when you take it to the extremes of suggesting the Cake Tin has nothing on Jade Stadium that is just ridiculous.
From my generation the anti-Auckland thing was conceived totally by jealousy. They “stole” the shield and dominated for a legendary period. Perhaps the Crusaders are now seeing that happen in reverse somewhat.
But interprovincial rivalry is a major factor in NZ sport – and long may it continue.
yea well said,as a cantab myself i get sick of some of our geeky fans,i find most that carry on like that know bugger all about tactics etc anyway ,there just cheerleaders
