A fern on your chest

Far out that is great news! National selection is a big deal so well done to you both. Even though your threads have revealled quite a bit about BB life you know there is a truckload of work being done you don't read about!!<br />
<br />
Amazing results given you've been in the sport for a smidge over a year too.

[JK]

Well done. Thats brilliant to be selected.<br />
<br />
You two have done really well in such a short amount of time. Amazed!

[Wairau]

Fantastic and congratulations! You both must have worked really hard with a lot of discipline to do so well. Keep it up!

[raznomore]

Big ups to you both! Well done.

[BartMan]

thanks guys. Feels great to be rewarded for hard work and sacrifice - something that does not happen all the time in this world of ours.

[Crucial]

Great work, congrats!<br />
<br />
Sounds like you need a bit of media profile to push for some sponsorship.

[taniwharugby]

isnt there a pathway to the movies from here? <br />
<br />
then you could be the Governer of Whangamata?<br />
<br />
Awesome news though, well done!!

Here I was thinking this was a thread about Bart and his missus getting matching SF tattoos on their buff chests post a successful tourney....<br />
<br />
Well done to the Bart household. So when's the book release and speaking tour commence

[MN5]

Absolutely awesome news Barts. Great stuff.

Great work Bart! Would you have turned down an AB jersey in a similar dilemma?

[BartMan]

hmmm, being that the AB's would PAY you to go, nope!!<br />
<br />
If it was an all expenses paid trip, sweet, would have thrown in the AUssie thing in a flash.<br />
<br />
Funny - that is how I explain it to people. Competing for the NZ Barbarians in Oz, or the All Blacks in Spain!<br />
<br />
Pretty stoked though, got the officail selection letter today - that's one for the archives, that's for sure. Never thogh when I got married that a few years later I would be getting selected in a NZ team for ANY sport, WITH my wife. Still shake my head over this whole chapter in our lives.
