Triumvirate of Epicness

Yes, those would be tickets to see the All Blacks v Ireland
on June 16th... Jealous, bitches?

On the day Emersyn turns two (how the hell is she almost two?), Lauriel, Terri, Evan, Lauren, Belle & myself are going to see the All Blacks vs Ireland...  For obvious reasons this is very very exciting.  The reasons come down to three word.

TRIUMVIRATE OF EPICNESS.

The triumvirate of epicness can be summed up like this...

1.  Cory Jane.

2.  Richie McCaw.

3.  the Haka.

Admittedly there are other exciting aspects of the night - various players that we somewhat-love and siomewhat-adore, but none more than CJ & McCaw (yes, I purposely rhymed that)...  In a perfect world Ali Williams, Dan Carter, Izzy Dagg, Zac Guildford, Richard Kahui, Conrad Smith, Sam Whitelock and Kieran Read will be playing as well, but as long as Mr Jane and Mr McCaw are playing, you won't hear us arguing.

Then there is the haka, and all the raw, sexy manliness that seems to exude from all the players when they're doing it... and admittedly does stuff to Lauriel & I..... 

There is also the fact this match happens not too long after our 5 month anniversary... Late anniversary present.. Fabulous...  I guess to some it would seem rather strange that my girlfriend and I would choose to go to a rugby game together and perv at and lust after hot men....  But that's the power of the Triumvirate of Epicness.  Which I won't abbreviate to be 'TOE'.. because that's not sexy.

Mr Guildford.  Topless.  Nuf said.

Although not in the confines of the Triumvirate of Epicness, I am rather excited by the prospect of seeing CJ's girlfriends playing as well...

Izzy is surely a shoe in, and hopefully Zac will get a little play time as well - if not 80 minutes of play time.  He's too awesome not to.  And he has such pretty eyelashes.  And have you seen his tattoos?  And that man Izzy... he looks mighty fine in a towel.  Not that that has anything to do with his skill on the rugby field.

Mr Dagg.  We salute you.

But I'd be lying if I said that part of the appeal of rugby wasn't the hotness factor.  And I can't help it if Izzy looks hot part naked.  Have you seen his arms?  And that enormous tattoo along the top of his back.. a single, sexy statement of.. sexiness.  While his current choice of facial scruff is NOT sexy, and isn't a statement of anything but pure and utter horrible grossness, when he does have a nice layer of stubble, he rocks it.  Not to the extent of CJ or Mr McCaw.. but he doesn't look half awful.

We will just forget the fact that both of the aforementioned players are still in their early 20's.  And it's probably a bit creepy to be perving on them.

To sum it up.  All Blacks.  June 16.  FUCK YEA!
