Colin Meads, bless him, seems to be the authority on everything these days doesn’t he?
He’s the go to guy on the topical questions of the day, he really is. How to best deal with angry parents on rugby sidelines? Ask Colin. And what about the kids playing, how will it affect them? Colin will know. Change the silver fern to red for the Rugby World Cup? Let’s run it by Colin first.
Now I know the man is a living legend and made quite the impression back when Kiwi men were men and the rest of the part time, skinny, white guys playing rugby were nervous, but it’s all a bit like asking Grandad what he thinks of the Japs 66 years on from WWII; the answer is never going to change.
Yet still we keep asking. Maybe that’s why we keep asking? Because we know we’ll get a meat and veg answer. But good on him, here’s a man who at the ripe old age of 74, still works the farm at Te Kuiti, drinking his deer jizz supplement or whatever it is that keeps him young and yet still has the time to churn out words of wisdom from a simpler time.
What a legend.
Oh and my solution to the angry parents on the sideline thing? Arm the match officials. Lets us then see how mouthy Captain Hardout on the touchline is likely to be when the ref is brandishing a yellow card, a red card and a Glock.
Shit ‘em right up.
