Do you support NZ in the NRL?

Don't worry, the aussies will be out of the slump soon.

If I was a Kiwi, I would support Crusaders, if only for the Dan Carter factor.

Doesn't every female? His rugby shorts recently sold for $214 to some crazed woman

I come from Canterbury so it's only right that I support the Crusaders. I like NZ when they play well in the NRL but they're such an up and down team. No consistency or anything and they all get too tired after 60 minutes.

Played basketball and volleyball for school. Tennis and Baseball at good level too. I was a catcher at baseball so I don't have much knees now. :P

also have recurring pinched nerves in my right shoulder from volleyball. If you've ever had a pinched nerve, you know the pain. It's excruciating pain in your shoulder, that spreads all across you back and up into your neck, which makes it impossible to move. It also moves down your entire arm, taking residence in your elbow. know the pain that comes from smacking your funny bone really hard? it's like that, only constant. same kind of pain, only slightly milder in your wrist, and your whole hand goes numb. fun stuff. luckily i don't get them often since I havent played volleyball in years.

Dude at my work pulled a nerve in the back of his calf muscle oneday. His whole left leg went numb and broke his big toe without knowing it since he had no feeling.

Never had a pinched nerve, but had to play for twenty minutes on a broken toe once. Just felt like pins and needles in my foot really and I had trouble feeling any time I touched the ball. Scored a goal with it as well, which was fairly ridiculous, looking back.
