Yes , the Crusaders have been my team in the Professional area so I attended many of their games , even coached and refereed some of their players when they were younger ! 

Which ones?

Bullshit.  Geez you can spin a yarn.  When was "a while back"?  They didn't import "dozens of great players" either.  The did select players that had potential that no one else wanted and turned them into great players.  Norm Berryman, Caleb Ralph, Norm Maxwell were the early ones.  

Auckland and Canterbury both went through periods of being unbeatable - neither held a mortgage on it.  Auckland Rugby lost its way when they abandoned club rugby and focussed on senior school rugby.  Canterbury focussed on both as well as drawing in the rest of the Crusader franchise.  Auckland abandoned their neighbouring Unions as well.  Canterbury didn't. 

I guess in that respect there are parallels with what has happened at Alexandra Park and the ATC.

Why bail Auckland out?

That a bit rude Chief........it can't be BS if it true and reasonable .

Robbie Deans and Carter and a few others were true born , bred and developed Cantabs but vital imports came from all over.

Q,...Check the Crusaders Hall Of Fame and pick out the non-imports !

Hall of Fame.......Todd Blackadder , JMarshall , W.Smith , NMaxwell, LMacDonald , RThorne , C.Ralph , MHammett , GSomerville.

No doubt soon to be joined by CTaylor, Scott Robertson and the legends RMcCaw , KRead , BThorne , Sonny Bill ,Scott Barrett and a few Fijian game winners.

Answer the question correctly and I'll send an unworn pair of BGP sox , and maybe my unworn BGP polo shirt !

Doubt if you see too many Asians lurking around your cave area down in the deep south ! They prefer cities where there are things to do and opportunities to create businesses and money making ventures !

Considering one lives in a strong dairy area, where our main  industry's  in a honest field is much smarter than living in  the rat race where the smartest shithouse rats survive off the less smart ones, you really are a deluded fuck sometime.

I will stress in no way do I dislike Asians in any shape or form, they probably find Auckland a little place as compared to where they come from, maybe in a few years it will be all Asians, so it's not looking good for Auckland Rugby but  that remains to be seen.

Well you'd better watch out......the deep south has always had great dairy farms but that didn't stop them from nearly slipping off the map.

Had to bring in Tim Shadbolt from West Auckland to save the deep south !

And instead of spending your time checking out the tote-pools you should go outside and check around.

Highly likely that the lovely farms at least partly owned [ and growing] by multi-national firms/funds including most Asian countries.

And why are Dairy sales booming........these neighbouring farms have huge imports to most Asian countries !

China ,the biggest but Thailand ,Malaysia ,Indonesia and Phillipines too !

And little old you , on-line , feeling smug and making rascist comments !

I think you've been sitting in traffic jams a bit too much, might be the heavy air at this time of year, think you've been inhaling a bit too much carbon monoxide, it does effect people sometimes lol.

Up the Wahs lol.
