If we are serious about combating Chinese influence in the Pacific, NZ Government should consider taxpayer funding the All Blacks
Everyone from big Paddy Gower to the avocado millennials over at the Spinoff have shit on the idea of giving taxpayer funds to the All Blacks.
I think we should seriously consider it with strings attached.
