"One night Frank Glasgow
sat down at the piano and composed music to describe the English style of
play; it went - plonk plonk plonk plonk, plonk . . .
To describe our play Frank came
up with this number - Dum de dah dum de dah bang whoosh bang! Whoosh dum
De dah clicketty-click bang! Whoosh da . . .
It was music new to English
ears . . . ."

NZEDGE co-founder Kevin Roberts
has been made Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the universities of
Waikato in New Zealand and Limerick in Ireland (the day job is still
running hot). KR's latest column for NZ Rugby Monthly is at http://www.nzedge.com/hot/rugby/03_Oct.html.
Bending it like Beckham, he weaves a story between the professionalism of
Real Madrid, the legendary men of Munster and the All Blacks' readiness
for this year's Rugby World Cup.
Enjoy Labour Day weekend. My
thought is that that great vision is only achieved by pushing the envelope
harder, faster and smarter.
