I keep forgetting to post this.
Richard Irvine has been creating some rather exemplary sports cartoons for quite a while now. One series in particular seems apt to post the day before the event that TV3 has cringingly dubbed: Henry vs Deans III.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to present, Dingo Deans: Double Agent

Thanks for the link Hadyn! You're right about TV3's Hamish Mackay - he was pretty blimmin' cringe-inducing last night. There's a lot more to tomorrow ngiht's game than simply Deans v Henry, but you know how much MacKay loves a big obvious angle.
To me, the real story is that Deans is suddenly under pressure to wni - has he ever actually BEEN under real squeaky-bum pressure as a coach?

I imagine all of his Canterbury following would have bayed for his blood if the Crusaders had slipped.
But back to the match this should be a fantastic game. Both teams look to be peaking at just the right time. It has all the makings of a classic and exciting test.
Thankfully, I haven't heard too much of the HvD mentalness this time around

To be fair, I think he could have got a good head start while we all stood round going 'wait a minute, what? I don't understand. Where's the tea?'
