Stunning and Brave
The NZ Olympic Team tweeted Hubbard's success, got ratio'd into oblivion and then deleted the tweet.
Sports admins really should know better than to allow this to continue, the general public is obviously strongly opposed to allowing men to compete in women's sports, and this is only going to increase animosity against Trans people - the majority of which want nothing to do with any of this.
Its only a matter of time before someone in the states sues. In fact I think that girl that missed out on a chance at a scholarship to two troons might be doing exactly that.

Blokes in skirts whom you have to pretend are chicks or you're a bigot.
I still think that LGBT is something that you would see at a restaurant - lettuce, guacamole, bacon, tomato.
Most people don't know whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable (no, that is not a slight on trans people, it is about tomatoes and lack of understanding of them) so they should have their own category to compete in, then all is fair. Limited numbers, so medals for participation is a thing now anyway right?

@barbarian an International side, so either the Black Ferns or NZ 7s...

Saw this today in the Sydney Morning Herald. And I couldn't agree more:
If only you Kiwi slobs would behave more like our cricketing heroes, society would be a far better place.
The Australian cricketers would strip off after emptying the bar.

Not sure old Rob knows much about rugby, so it could well have been a Super side returning from the Republic.

he's just a bit pissy because his wife slipped off her seat

@antipodean Aussie cricketers wouldn't strip at all. Don't want people knowing what they have in their trousers

@antipodean Something does not sound right about this as don't all the Super Teams and All Blacks all travel business class in which case the touring party would take up all the business class seats given the somewhat limited number of seats available in the section of the plane.

Theres some other sage observations on that site http://www.traveller.com.au/traveller-letters-rugby-team-strips-to-underwear-in-qantas-business-class-h1g2gx
I have always been wary of hotel kettles (Traveller letters, June 22) after I saw two members of Mental as Anything demonstrating the art, if that's the word, of making scrambled eggs in a motel kettle on Saturday morning TV to a bemused [Channel Seven Sounds host] Donnie Sutherland about 30 years ago.

@Higgins yeah, hence it seems TR is on the right track if it's somewhat true.
sure we would have heard by now if it was the Black ferns
I think he may have confused the accents and it was the Quuensland reds.
Do Kiwi teams even fly Qantas?

@Nevorian Mention is made of a flight exiting South Africa and not sure if AirNZ flies into or out of Sth Africa. Someone else with their Star Alliance might operate a J/burg-Aussie route so they they would have been on a code share sort of arrangement with that airline. Not sure if AirNZ has any codeshare type agreement even after ditching their tie up with Virgin so who knows what the real story might be.

@BonesNah. They still operate a 747 to Johannesburg I think, will be around 50 to 60 seats so can fit a team in.

SAA is in the Star Alliance so would be possible to fly Akl - Perth (Air NZ)- Joburg pretty quickly

After the cricket yesterday and the colossal hangover I have today, it was going to take something special to put a smile on my face. And you've done it. Well played.
