Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in rugby that I've been rewatching the games between New Zealand & Wales from both way back in 2003 during the men's Rugby World Cup during the final pool game where there was a capacity crowd at Stadium Australia in Sydney, Australia, as there was a decent day for wingers such as both Joe Rokocoko & Doug Howlett bagging 2 tries each in a high scoring affair that both sides scored 90 points, & the one back in 2010 where we had our penultimate match at that ground of Carisbrook in Dunedin (The last time the AB's played at that ground was in 2011 in our pre-Tri Nations test against Fiji (For which the match had been scheduled to play in Christchurch at Lancaster Park for which was called off due to damage caused by the earthquake, so they had to move it to Dunedin instead at the Brook) that served as a fundraiser for the Canterbury earthquake appeal), as well as the last planned test at the House of Pain, a year before Forsyth Barr Stadium opened their doors back in 2011 for the men's Rugby World Cup tournament where we had our most dominant performance at that Carisbrook ground in anticipation of our last test of the year against the Welsh at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
And secondly that I have revealed the story of my late close friend of the late Carole Webb that she was a tender loving caring lady just like the late Nan (Who would swim lengths of the swimming pool at the Splash Centre just like Carole does), then she always follows tennis every time we watch TV (And she likes rugby as well unlike the late Nan who would never ever watch rugby, but the last time I actually saw Carole before her passing was on the 9th of November where she came here to our place to watch the Scotland-AB's rugby test on TV), as well as she was such a great cook like making curries indeed (The last meal that she made for us, especially me & Pops was really decent according to the estimates), & of course having the sole child which is her son Andy (Who is heartbroken along with his wife Kelsey about it after Carole had passed, so too are her brothers Martin & Zaki as well as Martin's wife Leyla, Martin & Leyla's son Marat, Zaki's wife Aysha, Zaki's & Aysha's son Yasser & Zaki's & Aysha's daughter as well as Yasser's sister & Marc's wife Areje), but my last thoughts about her? Well, god bless her for all of her life that has been endured, god bless Carole.
And thirdly that the International Olympic Committee had introduced a clamp down on transgender athletes, thinking that it's unfair as I told Pops about it according to the Whanganui Chronicle newspaper article that I saw, even though with the Milan-Cortina Winter Games are about to, & due to get underway next year in February (And it was in February last year that the greedy American leader had signed an executive order that stamps out on any transgender athletes from competing under a current policy, even though with the IOC has shifted the responsibility for setting specific eligibility criteria to individual sports federations, moving away from a previous focus solely on testosterone levels).
And finally in cricket related news such as the latest in the Ashes as England had been humiliated by the dominant Aussies (Although the star of that team went to pace bowler Mitchell Starc who played a starring role as both Josh Hazlewood & regular captain Pat Cummins (Who'll be available for the 2nd test in Brisbane at the Gabba) not being there to grab his first seven fer for that has been a masterclass when he got 7 for 58 in 12.5 overs during the first innings as England (Who thought that they should've won when the Aussies were on the ropes) were bowled out for 172) by 8 wickets as they go 1 - 0 up in the Ashes series following the 1st test in Perth (And I watched it, but I didn't watch the rest of the test since Pops isn't even a cricket follower (He's mainly into rugby, not league), unless he watches a match involving New Zealand).
So that is my 653rd blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 5th of this year, viva Ukraine.
