I do not think it is that good because that person may support the alblacks but a bit overwhelming for the person so they said yes what would you do?

I dont really know she is just anothetr person i guess that is what she means

I like the old one better

I know this is really big but i was hoping that it would be in nz but i will watch it and i hope NZ WINS

personally i think how could she ,she sings for us in the test matches then decides it will be okay if she batrayeds us to go uk to sing for them i say shame on her.i think new zealand should take one of uk's good singers (not that there are any) and make them sing for us in the rugby world cup.......not nice but hey why not stand up for our country?

so she told the london evening standerd that she was not a highly ambisous women lie lie porky pie.she also stated that she sold more albums then any soprano in the past ten years but what is a soprano???? she said she bought a flat in west london so let me guess soon shes going to betray the uk rugby team and go sing for england

the alblack new jersey is okay i guess i spose it dosnt really bother me because im more the silver ferns type of person......

the rugby world cup doesnt really bother me either because there isnt really a point all it is ,is a sweaty bunch of guys basically body slamming one another so i dont see what kind of satisfactionary they get out of it anyway.....

I can't believe someone could do that. Just go of to another team and sing for them as if were not good enough Especially as she sang for us in the test matches.

I'm not sure but I think she is probably quite ambitious maybe she just wants to fit in sometimes

Well I'm not that sure what the old jersey looked like so I don't know if it's an improvement or not . But I don't think it's a bad top to have

I am reeeeeeeeallly disappointed that it's not in nz because we had tikets to all the quarter finals but when the earthquake happened we had to sell all are tickets to someone else.

well she can do what she likes but if i were her i would be doing that for nz. but if you look at the country thats having her sing what would they think.

i don't think she is a bad person for doing that and she doesn't look like she is that rich so maybe she is doing it for some money.

i actually don't really care about the all blacks jerseys but since the new one is lighter than the old one i think the new one will be better.

i think the all blacks have a really good chance of winning because i saw them own the springbox in the trinations. go the all blacks

i think thats a realy rude esspeacily because she is from new zealand witch makes it worst

to be honest if think the new all blacks t-shirt is ugly and would rather them just wear the old t-shirt but i guess it better for them cause it really lite so i dont know

i think she would be a nice person to hang out with it seems like she just say that stuff

my hopes for the world cup is that the all blacks win but reall im not that interested in the world cup all blacks and rugby

I think thats really bad and rude taking our countrys singer,let alone making their rugby jersey colour black!

Dose she not watch the news?!Most of the time it's filled with people being hungery and poor countrys and drouts. How can she think being rich is normal?

It's way better than the old one. The numbers on the back look good and it's all one colour. I think its really good.

We will win of course because we are awesome unlike england the thiefs.

HARRI said...

Well why did she go to a nother country when she could sing the rugby cup song for us???

i think she is very down to earth because she has not got a big house and when she gose out she wears normal clothes.

I think it is awsome because it is like the old jersey.(one problem there not all black anymore!)

I think we will thrash up and win the trophy.or at least i hope so B)

i think she shouldn't singfor the birth country because she is from new zealand.
i think the allblacks should have the white collars but all the way around.
the allblacks are going to win the world cup.

1.that is so sad. if u were born if a diffrent country and and got a singing contract then went to a diffrent country for a few years then left that country and went to yr hometown that just kind of weird like who would leave New Zealand like New Zealand is AWESOME
anyway

2.it would be soooo cool to get a contract at the age of 13 but that spoiled little girl (hehe) thought it was normal anyway lots of choices.

2.soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool and awesome i like the way it is

3.pretty big but auzzie is gonna be a challenge and dan carter should practice his kicking a bit more

(when we vs south africa we could have got 10 more pts but he missed all of them)
ANYway GO ALL BLACK WIN THAT WORLD CUP AND IF YOU DONT IM GONNA GIVE YOU ALL A HIDING ESPECIALLY THE ONE THAT STUFFED IT UP FOR US YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hey room 9
The Rugby World Cup IS still in NZ just not in Christchurch. I would have thought that some of the boys who have commented were going to tell you that :-)
Great to see the spirit out there, Caleb!
Keep up the good comments!

1.absolutely rubbish she should at least try to be the NZ singer but maybe she has a reason like she can't because they already have one

2. she could donate some to a charity but at least she doesn't live in a mansion

3.i personally don't like it the numbers are disgusting and the collar ends to short but it cost a lot!!!!

4.GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSS

i think it is silly for her to sing for another country when she could sing for us but that is her choice.

if she thinks she is living a normal she must be crazy because going to the pub in jeans and a t.shirt is not all of being normal.

it is all right it's black and white thats the main thing right
just because it has a funny coller people have to make a fuss about it

i hope the new zealand team wins the world cup because it would be cool

i think she should play for new zealand because most people support there cultre and country.

she should be left alone about her life style because she dsent boast about being rich and she lives in a flat not a mansion and she goes to the pub in ordinary clothes.but honestly,i think she should be left alone.

the all black shouldent have all this fuss just because of a funny looking colar

I think that because she has lived in london for a while she would possibly think of it as her home town because she loves it so much (and its where her flat/home is.)I think that people wouldn't mind so much if she wasn't so famous because if any old (kiwi) Jo Bloggs went over to england and said "I am going to sing the world in union for england!" nobody would care!!


I think her lifestyle sounds normalish but to me a bit "no work and more play"
if she thinks her ONLY extravagance is bying a flat in western london I am pretty sure she would be wrong!but at least she is not living in buckingham palace hayley.w. style!!!!


it really doesn't bother me what they wear the collar just looks a bit weird.

Of course I want the all blacks to win but I am not sure if they will win because all the rugby stuff goes straight over my head!!!!!
