The archived ramblings of my time as a world traveler up to my current life in Washington, D.C.on a lighter note
Even I, who couldn't tell you one thing about rugby, knew the NZ national team was called the All Blacks. They're playing Australia Saturday, and it's a big, big deal here.
But today I was reading the paper, and came across an article about the national basketball team.
The Tall Blacks.

Perhaps you missed it, but the nation's badminton team (which might explain why you missed it) is called the Black Cocks.
check out this hed from the UK's Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/15/nz_badminton_kerfuffle/
In case the link is gone it reads: NZ finds Black Cocks hard to swallow.
Glad you guys are doing well...see you in May (at least that's what we're planning...)
I'm so happy you gave me that bit of information. Now I just don't know what to do with it.
