Stuff goes a huntin' Rugby

Where to start with that. Fuck me days. (My OCD found it very hard to get past the constant use of NZR. If you can't even get the acronym right to the most well known organisation in New Zealand...)
They are called NZR (New Zealand Rugby) now - even though the website still have the 'u' in it.
So we can give them a pass for that part of the ultra shitty article.

There's 5 or 6 articles in the same vein (vane? no think it's "vein") today.
I glanced ar the second one which regurgitated the same shit, gave a lot of weight to Moffat who obviously has a hate for Tew, and made some pretty innocuous quotes by various connected people seem like condemnations.
I ignored the others.
@Mokey it is actually now NZR. Pared down from "the" NZRU (itself I'm pretty sure shortened from NZRFU). What appeared to me was he had probably referred to "the NZRU" in his original draft and someone had done a global find and replace so he was left with the awkward "the NZR".
Maybe Stuff should do a character assassination series of articles on something that needs it like the state of journalism?

@booboo Ah. I didn't know about the change. But I think you are right, because 'the NZR' makes no bloody sense.
Here I was thinking finally the heat's off rugby and New Zealand Rail are busy copping it!

@antipodean Haha. Yep, if another crisis comes up, Rugby are going to be all like FUCKING RAILWAY BASTARDS.

Ah yeah Moffet is painful.
An obnoxious prick imho.
