NZRFU draft 2 players into Auckland Blues
--NZ Herald--
The NZRFU have today taken the unprecedented step of performing an emergency mid-season draft involving 2 Super Rugby players.
The hitherto hidden sub-clause in NZRFU policy was enacted by an anonymous ex-Auckland Blues assistant coach. When queried as to the period of the reallocation time the ex-coach replied "don't worry, it's not forever. Only for the next 8 seasons or so. In the overall scheme of the history of time itself it's really just a tiny, tiny blip of time."
"When you look at how long the overall total history of time has been, the 2 individuals
named will only be at the Blues for just 2 or 3 seconds really."
-unnamed ex-Auckland Blues assistant coach.
"Don't panic it's done alphabetically to ensure fairness" said the ex-coach. "Starting with "A", so the first 2 players that come up are, let me see, um, Aaron Cruden and Aaron Smith. There, see that wasn't so hard. I look forward to seeing the 2 drafted players at Blues training bright and early Monday morning. Failure to comply will result in immediate termination of your NZRFU contracts. Have a nice day, fellas. In Auckland. On Monday."
