Top 4 NZSporting Moments:

 

1) All Blacks scrape through with a nerve-wracking, painful victory against a stubborn French team in the RWC final. Thank fucken Christ

2) Warriors out-Storm the Storm and Shaun Johnson sets up a pearler of a try to send us to our 2nd Grand Final! 2012 is ours.

3) Bracewell takes 6 to take out the Aussie test side! Shame, cunts.

4) Breakers beat Perth in the NBL final at North Shore Stadium. Shit was drunken!

Not a fan of Ruffhouse, too much of a "here, I wrote an anthem" track imo.

 

cheer up bro

 

Same reason why I didn't like Roteks, and a bunch of other "big" tracks this year... Can't Sleep springs to mind.

 

Just listened to "Ruffhouse"...wow. Is that what people call an anthem these days? Sounds like something Matty G would've written a couple of years ago, and most of his tunes were poor Loefah rip-offs to begin with..
