Camouflage: My 46th Blog of the year 2026

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 Super Rugby Pacific that the Hurricanes demolish the Reds with a comprehensive blowout during round 7 of the competition at the newly named Hnry Stadium in Wellington (Including a hat-trick from departing winger Fehi Fineanganofo for which was the player who surprised me, compared to Caleb Tangitau the Highlander who could become the next big thing in New Zealand rugby if picked for the AB's under new coach Dave Rennie since Sevu Reece is leaving after this season to head overseas) to remain on top of the standings (A day after the Highlanders snapped a 2 game losing run when they hammered Moana Pasifika at North Harbour Stadium in Albany by a margin of 20 points) before the Blues had a crushing but convincing win as they punished over the Fijian Drua (Who had starting hooker Bradley Slater pick up a brace in that game, but that try of the match & maybe the season went to Payton Spencer (Son of legend Carlos who was delighted about his son's try that he scored where he ran all the way whilst chasing the ball from a grubber kick) who would went on to score his first Super Rugby Pacific try, even in his first start in just Payton's second game since his debut against the New South Wales Waratahs (Who would gone on to beat Australia's best for that is the ACT Brumbies) in round 6, & then Caleb Clarke (Who reminds him of reminiscing his dad Eroni where he made an impact during the 90s period which was the early days of Super Rugby that writes a whole new chapter as part of its 30 years of celebrating the competition) scoring a try at the buzzer which had sounded that the Fijian Drua who were devastated to lose at the death) to take out the inaugural Joeli Vidiri trophy (The size of the trophy is based on a bowl that they used kava (For that is an alcoholic drink where Pops once tried it, but there is certain restrictions to it) with back in Fiji) in honour of the late Fijian born Blues & All Blacks player who passed away in 2022 (And the Drua had to perform the Bole in the changing sheds (Dressing room) towards the children of the late Vidiri, such as son Tim, & daughter Rachael since Fiji is not part of SANZAAR under the loopholes that they cannot perform it onto the field) due to a kidney disease similar to his late Blues teammate Jonah Lomu, & also the late Inga Tuigamala the Samoan Kiwi rugby & league player who passed away in the same year as Vidiri, then the Chiefs would overpower the Western Force by 10 points as they overcame a team bus which had a mechanical failure by breaking it down before the players were transferred to their mini-vans to arrive at a venue.

And secondly that I was comparing the gameplay of Rugby League 26 (Made by Big Ant Studios who always mess up due to the bugs & glitches that they are having) for which was the worst league game in recent memory (And I used gameplay sliders, but I stopped using it because of me finding it tough to play, & I had to revert it to the rookie difficulty level throughout due to it much being easier), to Rugby League 2 (Also made by Sidhe Interactive back then) which was by far, the greatest league computer game of all-time (Back in 2005 there was no set restart to start with, compared to last year & this year where they have six again now where a non-offending team has been awarded if the offending team commits a infraction, such as a ruck violation, & inside the 10 (And also there was no Gold Coast Titans & Dolphins team throughout when RL2 was released back then, although they have it now on RL26 that came out last year since these sides were first played in both the 2007 & 2023 seasons respectively (The Titans first appeared on the World Cup edition of Rugby League 2, while in Rugby League 26 that they first introduced the Dolphins team that currently competes in the NRL) as well as the skipper's referral AKA captain's challenge featured in the RL26 game via update, not RL2 that they did not feature that review system similar to cricket, while there was a video referee that appeared when Rugby League 2 was released, compared to them now being called as the bunker (League's equivalent of rugby's TMO, cricket's TV umpire (Formerly 3rd umpire), football/soccer's VAR, & motor racing's race director (Known as driving standards observer there in Australia, especially the Supercars Championship as it's referring to of course) also when Rugby League 26 came out) that I still thoroughly enjoy.

And thirdly that the food news that come up such as me having the butter chicken that I made on the 22nd of March at our place, a day before I had beef schnitzel with chips & salad when I went with Pops at St John's Club Elms Restaurant on March 23rd, then having a stockade burger with chips at Rutland Arms Inn on the 25th of March where Pops accompanied me, before we returned to St John's Club where I had the beef burger on March 27th, & we had the chicken stir fry with rice for dinner here at home on the 29th of March.

And lastly that it has been 86 days since the last time me & Pops saw both Aunty Tan & Rejean as of March 29th because I both miss them since they left here in Whanganui on January 2nd this year, & she chats to Pops then me on the phone, but I always count the number of days that I last saw them who both live in Mont-Saint Hilaire in Canada which is near Montreal known for its landmarks such as Bell Centre for that is an ice hockey arena where they host the home game of the Montreal Canadiens team competing in the NHL, as well as the infamous Olympic Stadium that the venue hosted the 1976 Olympic Summer Games, & the most famous of them all which is Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve Formula One circuit that appears on the Gran Turismo 7 game since the Spec III update that had dropped in back in December last year.

So that is my 694th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 46th of this year, viva Ukraine.
