To describe our play Frank came up with this number – Dum de dah dum de dah bang whoosh bang! Whoosh dum De dah clicketty-click bang! Whoosh da . . .
It was music new to English ears . . . .”

NZEDGE co-founder Kevin Roberts has been made Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the universities of Waikato in New Zealand and Limerick in Ireland (the day job is still running hot). KR’s latest column for NZ Rugby Monthly is at https://www.nzedge.com/hot/rugby/03_Oct.html. Bending it like Beckham, he weaves a story between the professionalism of Real Madrid, the legendary men of Munster and the All Blacks’ readiness for this year’s Rugby World Cup.
Enjoy Labour Day weekend. My thought is that that great vision is only achieved by pushing the envelope harder, faster and smarter.
