The Times has the following report on the New Zealand reaction to the loss at rugby to the French:
Newspapers printed match reports in white type on a black background, reflecting the sombre mood. The foreign minister, Winston Peters, called the result a tragedy and suggested it could even drive distraught men to "beat up" their wives and children.
And we're talking about Kiwis here - they're supposed to be milder mannered than even the Canadians. Who'd a thunk it?

I lived in Kiwiland for 2 years. They aren't very mild mannered when it comes to rugby and losing to the French of all people, those nuclear bomb testing obsessed "bastards" that "invaded" their country and blew up the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour 1985, has got to hurt. Rugby is an Anglo game.
