Well he got the wrong city let alone the wrong suburb.
Of course the ABs have been camped in Heretaunga most of the week at the Sports Institute.
Maybe also the AB selectors got it wrong. Thousands more would have attended the match this Saturday if local star Billy Proctor had been slotted in at centre.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

If Boneface reverted back to its sumptous food platters that would be good too.
