You Can Take The Kiwi Out Of New Zealand, But Not New Zealand Out Of The Kiwi

Written by Chris Woodhams

This weekend in France the All Blacks are playing France.

Conrad Colman, the only Kiwi skipper in the Vendée Globe – Round The World Race – is nailing his colours to the pole – overnight sending a message to the AB’s from the lower Atlantic Ocean!

Conrad Colman – Mid Atlantic But With Kiwifruit And A Kiwi Flag! Scurvy Be Gone! Go AB’s!

Conrad, married to a French lady, and with his two kids at his home in France — well he is a brave man to come out so clearly for the AB’s!!!

But he is right! Go the AB’s!
