I'm sitting here posting on the Fern with the William Webb Ellis trophy in my office.
By christ it's a beautiful thing.
I feel like Gollum with the Ring.

Its the real one?
Yes, even the All Blacks in that game from 2007 against France. We still should have won despite the ref, but didn't.

How many times have you done a sneaky "raise above your head as if just receiving it as winning captain" in front of the mirror/window?

When I read the title I thought it was about Kieran and Piri.
Nice work Fred

Quick Fred. Organize some teams and hold three or four "RWCs" over the next 24 hours - making sure NZ wins them all and gets the monkey off our back.
Back in the early-80s during the Canterbury Shield tenure, I "held" the shield for a week. Was working for a bank in ChCh, and we had it on display in front of my desk. I was charged with keeping an eye on it during the day, locking it in the vault every night, and crash tackling any potential thieves.

I held the Melbourne cup and the cox plate at the same time whilst having a beer in a Sydney pub.
Pop quiz? Who was the man who let me hold them ? He bought them in a sack
A clue Australia held the bledisloe cup at the time

Cheers Fred!

I've had the Heineken Cup stashed in my office (a few rungs down from 'Bill' I know).
And yes, I did the whole holding it aloft thing. We were going to take it down the pub but got scared we might lose it.

Emerge from the void, strike at vulnerable points, shun places that are defended, attack in unexpected quarters.

Can you turn it around and take a picture please?
Yes, even the All Blacks in that game from 2007 against France. We still should have won despite the ref, but didn't.

Scratch that last post, just spoke to a colleague and he reckons it would have been Denham. 97 won the cup and 98 won the plate with Dane ripper. Although 1998 no longer appears in All Black history books....

A few years back we had the ARU as a client. I was attending a meeting with John O'Neil and his entourage. During the meeting I had to take a leek so I got up and went through the nearest door. Only to find...I was in the Holiest of Holies...sittting on the table was the world cup...the Bled and the TN cups. All sitting pretty in a row. I couldn't help myself and I lifted each one aloft...high in the air as if I was the winning captain...on the last one I picked it up and the silver saucer that was holding it lifted up as well then dropped on the wooden floor...the noise was deafening as it rolled along the floor towards the door I had entered from. I quickly picked it up, stuffed it back under the cup and reentered the board room. The entire room laughed as they knew exactly what had happened. John O'Neil (still laughing) said the bath room is that way and pointed to another door.
