The New Zealand All Blacks played their last game for 2016 against France on the weekend and I have been mulling over this “story book” for months. Clearly I have too much time on my hands (and fancy myself as a Lynley Dodd protege!) Read it to your kids…
Ready for the Chicago game…. (little did we know!)
Beauden Barrett ran like a carrot
Was dangling in front of his face
And Dane Coles found the holes
To throw it in the right place
Kieran Read had the speed
To push through a wall of French
But Ryan Crotty with the spotty botty
Went to sit on the bench
Israel Dagg seemed to play tag
As he ran it over the line
Brodie Retallick was most unangelic
So went off to have a wine
Wyatt Crocket popped like a sprocket
And got smashed under the scrum
Owen Franks was smarty pants
With Kaino up his bum
Leinert-Brown could lose his crown
For getting pinged off-side
But Waisake Naholo didn’t follow
As he ran it fast out wide
Yes Black and Blue got into a stew
And Barnes had to blow his whistle
But in the end the lads defend
And what we saw was gristle
