For this edition, the octovial of this blog, we will not take a suggestion, but pay tribute to a recent global event! Of course, this event is the 2011 IRB Rugby World Cup third place playoff! Now, this is a game that held the focus of
But what if a small thing changed? What if, somehow, Australia lost?! In all my wisdom and knowledge, I hold the horrifying answers. Do you want to know the answers? Do you? DO YOU?!?! Then, read on...
Firstly, Australia would go into a state of mourning, what with losing to Samoa, Ireland, and Wales in the same year. The public would demand answers, answers Robbie Deans could not give. As a result, Deans would be given the boot and the Australian transplant would live the remainder of his life in shame. Quade Cooper would share a similar fate as the world would finally come to understand that he is one of the most overrated players in test history.
Secondly, the nation of Wales would be consumed by a state of euphoria. Warren Gatland would be a hero in both Wales and New Zealand, and would receive special mention by both the Prince of Wales, and the Maori King. As the world looked on in awe at their new favourite nation, Rob Brydon would step forward as their new leader, and lead the Welsh to world dominance through comedy and bad advertising.
I dread to see the day when a sheep-shagger rules the world! So Wales, for all our sake, keep on losing you hip commune!
