To play a New Zealand 🇳🇿 side in rugby is an honour for any rugby player.

To beat them at all, let alone in a Rugby World Cup is historic.

Congratulations to the Black Ferns on a tournament well fought.

And CONGRATULATIONS to #RugbyCanada🇨🇦 on making history & heading to Twickenham!!!

JFC. Imagine if we treated other crimes this way:

Rescinding the DST isn’t strategy-it’s surrender.
