Once in a lifetime opportunity for my son today (1 Viewer)

[chet]

My 11yo son plays rugby and today will attend a clinic given by the New Zealand All Blacks.  They are in town for a match against Ireland next week and someone on the team has a connection with the All Blacks.  There will be 10 All Blacks there.  Great opportunity for him.

So I guess your son will be the quarterback?

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Any all whites?

And people complain about the Redskins and Indians.

Remind him to proofread the thank you letter he sends to them

The All Blacks are the most dominant team in any sport right now.  They are riding a record 18-match win streak.

Never heard of them but I love the nickname.  Congrats to your son.

Does he already know the Haka? If so, he can do that for them when they arrive.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Thought maybe he was going to a Cubs world series game

Now imagine if they were white.

Sorry, I don't follow Cricket.

All Blacks matter. 

 

[money.never.sleeps]

Don't get to watch rugby much anymore but when I ever catch the All Blacks on, I'm glued.

Saw them play USA in an exhibition last year and DOMINATED.  Really impressive and really cool your kid had this opportunity!!!!!!

I don't think once in a lifetime means what you

think it does?

Doesn't seem like much.  Alabama has won 20 in a row.

My 11yo son plays rugby

This is the most interesting part to me. How does this happen? It seem like we're simply geared for football, baseball, soccer, basketball, everywhere - and the occasional hockey, lacrosse, field hockey sports here and there.

My previous company was based in Auckland.  All Blacks are a force..

Looks like you used the good camera. 85 mm lens?

 

[timschochet]

Hey Chet that's awesome. 

The All Blacks have a long history; they're the Yankees of rugby. Did you see the movie invictus? That was the All-Blacks South Africa played. 

Your son must be a fine player to be honored to meet these guys. Good for him and for you! 

 

[rascal]

Spent 2 weeks in new Zealand and 6 in Australia as a sophomore in college and played rugby with several ex professionals...got my ### handed to me but loved it.  

 

[Sinn Fein]

Now imagine they were the All Whites.

You are thinking about the New Zealand National Football Team

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

He met his real dad?

 

[GoSensGo]

Are they gonna teach the Haka

Once he goes All Black he'll never go back.

 

[eoMMan]

How is their grammar?

Those pics were taken with an 80-200 on a Canon 5d MkII.  I could have used my 24-105 but I left it at home and brought the big 400 2.8 for its reach.  I didn't think I was going to get up close and personal.

Now imagine they were the All Whites.

that would be racist

Bears looked pretty dominant last night guy....

 

[GroveDiesel]

Seems that maybe you did something that turned them into losers.

The game yesterday was incredible.  Probably the best victory in Irish rugby history.

Leicester City wins the Premier League, Cubs win the world series, Ireland beats the All-Blacks for the first time in 100+ years, and then there's Trump.  What a year.
