Well, g'day guys & girls, welcome to our audience here in New Zealand & around the world, it is Whet here tuning into my Kiwiavenger blog but first to our whanau news such as Paige Ahearn (My cousin) who is following the American restaurant located in Wellington called Mama Brown's (We might go there if we were in Wellington) according to the comment from Pops on the 28th of October last year, but I always say the name of Paige's daughter (Norah who has always been my cousin once removed, but I saw a picture of her taken from Pops phone on November the 1st last year as she wore her Halloween costume on Halloween according to the social media account of Norah's mum Paige Ahearn that she posted) every day therefore teasing a return to Wellington in January next year as our next possible holiday (And I want to do it of me & Pops wanting to meet both women of Cathey & Paige, & a baby girl of Norah before I miss out as part of my only bucket list that I have, but I decided to shelve that holiday that me & Pops are planning to go in January next year, & postpone it to December next year to January 2026 (And we'll go if both Aunty Tan & Rejean are here in New Zealand) because me & Pops (Whose memory is far from improving, but maybe getting too old to travel that far to Wellington but maybe I'll go with Dad once he retires from his teaching job because he has only got 10 years left until retirement) will always have to look after the house, & I'm happy to be at home doing the gaming stuff that I literally enjoy), even if Pops isn't tied up to something (And we might stay for 3 nights from Friday to Sunday then come back home on a Monday a day before the Graze Out bloke arrives for our Tuesday to Thursday meals, but I have decided to cancel the Wellington trip (No I'm not going with either Pops or Dad, I'm not interested) altogether citing fears of Pops old age, & in the interest of excessive fatigue meaning that I will never ever meet Cathey & Paige again, & Norah for a lifetime, & for the rest of my life (Damn these people, damn your cause, that hell's over, I will never go on a holiday again with anybody like Pops & Dad following my announcement of not going to Welly by calling it off (And the Northland trip from 2023, will probably be my last holiday along with Carole & Pops, but I'm retiring from going on a trip because I quit from now on, I'm giving up) mainly because the reason why is the money which is during the current cost of living crisis (And everything is expensive at the moment regarding to inflation caused by that dreadful invasion that has been going since 2022, but we need to always save our money), & I have made the decision to cut ties by ending my links/finishing my connections with Paige (Who already has started a family with Jarrod, but she's asking for respect as she is requesting privacy towards her, her husband & their daughter throughout their lives, as well as being a bit too busy that she's mainly a hard worker & a workaholic as well as being a full-time mum & housewife by looking after Norah all the time) as my honorary sister (And the reason why that I may be getting intolerant to her, Cathey & Norah due to the fact that I'm getting fed up as well as being sick & tired about these 3 that I often criticise them for not meeting those people for the remainder of my life (And I wish to meet all 3 of them before I die, but that is unlikely about to happen due to mainly travel costs, meaning that you have to pay for everything), especially Paige for cutting ties as my honorary sister from now on), because I've got only one, & that is Kelsey).
And new cases have gone up on the new COVID XEC subvariant that we are declaring war on that had arrived in New Zealand & in the UK as well as France, Australia & the United States when it was first arrived in Germany & detected in 27 countries across North America, Asia & Europe, but it could be spreading everywhere like in January next year during the summer, & they're urging people to be aware by wearing masks as possible if there is a situation going on there like that, but vaccinations will be required for the matter for dozens of people (I thought it ended but we are now entering our 5th year since it began in 2020, a year after the 1st recorded confirmed case of COVID was taken by animals at a market in Wuhan, China, but there was controversy regarding Facebook (Now Meta) who were heavily relied on blocking COVID related content in 2021 which was during the pandemic in which they declared war on them on social media by censoring those terrible COVID stuff according to chief executive officer & founder Mark Zuckerberg (Who said after blocking content regarding to COVID related stuff in 2021: "Don't even think about it").
And I did not know that the former Prime Minister of New Zealand of Jacinda Ardern (Who was the victim of hateful abuse made by the Christchurch mosque shooter (Who should not have recieved a gun licence after being such a good actor in which he illegally acquired one for all of his clean background, according to his sister) in 2019 before carrying out the worst shooting incident ever recorded on New Zealand soil since the Aramoana massacre in 1990 (And the terrible mosque shootings, was reminscent of Port Arthur in Tasmania, Australia in 1996 in which 35 innocent victims have been taken away in which an AR15 rifle had been illegally used before the clamp down on assault rifles being brought into Australia in the aftermath of the tragic shootings by prohibiting them in the process such as the implementation of gun control measures just like New Zealand did in 2019), on March 15th which resulted in 51 casualties, but the shooter has since been locked up behind bars for the imprisonment for life sentence that he's currently serving) recieving her damehood therefore becoming Dame Jacinda Ardern for her services of leading our country for 6 years from 2017 until 2023 as well as her services of leading her political party Labour & leading the way in terms of COVID response back when we had the pandemic here in 2020.
And finally the All Blacks team (Who still have 3 players that are part of the IL (Injury list) such as Ethan Blackadder, Luke Jacobson & Dalton Papali'i, unavailable for this test along with prop forward Ethan de Groot for breaking team protocol, but is expected to return for the clash against Ireland in Dublin) have been named to play against England (Who haven't played since the 2nd test at Eden Park in Auckland where the AB's successfully defended our fortress therefore winning the 2 match test series 2 - 0, but haven't beaten the AB's since 2019 during the semifinal of the Rugby World Cup in Yokohama in which New Zealand were defeated on Japanese soil for the 1st & only time, & the last time we lost a test at Twickenham in England was in 2012 in which the English won the Hillary Shield for also the 1st & only time) at Allianz Stadium London (Our most recent meeting between the 2 sides was last year where the AB's managed to cling on for the win, but the English fell short in the end by 7 points in which we almost conceded a penalty try for collapsing the maul as well as a yellow card against an All Black player, but one of the Aussie referees ruled that an English player may have adjudged to have been caught obstructing a New Zealand player, meaning that England may have derailed their quest of sealing a draw) in which we haven't played at that ground since that drawn test in 2022 which resulted in Beauden Barrett being shown the yellow card for which I thought it was deemed to be a penalty try as a result of a professional foul which sparked a certain England comeback after we were leading for quite a while, in which the English thwarted us for our chances of a victory as well as TJ Perenara & his achilles heel injury that took him out of the game for an entire year in 2023, especially the Rugby World Cup (Along with other All Blacks including Sevu Reece (Knee) & Patrick Tuipulotu (Broken arm) before even returning a year later for the Hurricanes during the Super Rugby Pacific competition, for our 1st test of 4 in the Northern Tour, so here is the starting lineup according to Razor:
