Just when you think your weeks and days cannot get any worse, then all of a sudden there is a Silver Lining (or should that be a Silver Fern) around a dark, black cloud!!
I have been asked (yeah – I know a lot might say “Rob, mate, you sure about this one?”) to represent Sharksworld to celebrate “The Road to New Zealand” with Richie McCaw and John Smit!!!!!!!!! (Is there enough exclamation marks on my PC???) 
John Smit, Captain of the reigning Rugby World Cup champions, and MasterCard Rugby Ambassador, Richie McCaw, will be uniting to urge South African rugby supporters to start securing their match tickets and planning their trips to New Zealand for Rugby World Cup 2011, to support South Africa in defending their grip on the Webb Ellis Cup.
I will be having lunch with these fine Gentelmen on Wednesday, 18 August 2010 at the Radisson Blu, Dolls!!! Eat your hearts out, Cupcakes!!! 
Now, Now – I would not be able to do this on my own (damn – can someone tell me how to stop this shaking and heart-thumping I am experiencing since about an hour ago??) Anyway, where were we?? 
Oh, ja!
There might be opportunity to interview these guys – so a couple of good questions that will make me look like a serious rugby fundi, might come in handy!! 
Maybe some good technical ones, that REALLY might make me look like I know it ALL!! Letgo – you can even give me some stats to throw at them in a question! 
Seriously – Your help will be much appreciated – so look out for the “post-luncheon” article – right here on Sharksworld!!
Last, but not least…THANKS ROB AND SHARKSWORLD FOR THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY!!
PS. I promise to behave..

Watch out Richie is married, but PDV reckons he is not adverse to a bit of cheating!
Nice one Ice….ps I hate you
Try to confirm the rumours about Smit retiring 😉
PPS Yes i know you dont care
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 2) :
Love you too Claytie… 😈
Ask the waitress to introduce herself as Susie and see if Richie orders anything…
‘ Rob, mate, you sure about this one ? ‘
@Oubaas2009 (Comment 6) :
@Oubaas2009 (Comment 6) : LOL!
Congrats Ice.. That’s pretty awesome!!
Will get thinking and get them through to you..
enjoy it, don’t be suprised if john also eats your portion of the lunch 😀
Who did you sleep with to land this cushy date? 😛
@lostfish (Comment 3) : and/or whether he’s going to the Lions…
@Oubaas2009 (Comment 6) : ROFLLMFAO!!!
@klempie (Comment 12) : life is a lot more than just “favours” , try and get one you might enjoy it!
@Oubaas2009 (Comment 6) :
@Ice (Comment 15) : 😆 😆
Ask John if he’s retiring after the Soccer City test?? I heard rumours on another site about that.
And tell John I’ll be at the test and if they don’t win I’ll break into the dressing room and beat them all up
@klempie (Comment 12) : once again, I’m truly shocked that you’re single.
NOT
@robdylan (Comment 19) :
@Pokkel (Comment 18) : FNB Stadium now boeta.
@Oubaas2009 (Comment 6) : that was vreksnaaks
Do not allow them to take advantage of a blond, even if it’s Richie, no different set of rules…
Nice. Sweet Deal.
Congrats Ice! 🙂 Hope you enjoy the experience.
@Oubaas2009 (Comment 6) : Classic een daai, Oubaas! 😆 😆 😆
😎
@Oubaas2009 (Comment 1) : @Oubaas2009 (Comment 6) :
Congrats Ice!
Now please don`t whip out your VISA card for all to see at this Mastercard gathering!
Maybe ask John how his house hunting in Jhb is coming along?
@Pokkel (Comment 18) : why would you give them warnings 🙄 😆
Congrats Ice, Enjoy it.
All these good wishes and no questions what Ice should ask!?
“Richie, it’s been a curse the past two WC where the AB’s peaked the year before the WC and did’nt show in the finals at all. do you think the curse has followed you to 2010/2011?”
“John, the Boks played rather badly in 2006 but still won the Wc in 2007. Do you gain confidence that the AB’s are again on a peak (see question above) the year prior to the WC”
I know the questions are quite similar yes, but just to get the input from both captains. And nobody would be able to predict the future….but it smells so familiar.
@JustPlainSHARK (Comment 32) : Yeah JPS,I think I,ve seen this movie before.
This is thread is brilliant!! 😎
great Ice well done i think that road house room with ROB etc was werth the while 😳 👿
hey joke
its always great to read yr post its intersresting 
great work done now Q just doesn’t he fell odd to go and do the snoils thing when he is a sharks itsn’t there a post for him in the sharks tank u19 21 etc 👿 😉
Congrats! How about asking john wat his plans are after he’s retired from rugby(whether now or after da world cup). Would b great 2 know if he plans on coaching or leaving da game completely.
@Pokkel (Comment 18) : JOHN SMIT is not retiring, I follow him on Twitter and he was having a stab at a mate, jokingly saying that he will now retire and play with his dogs – then some bloggers twisted it… A few posts later John Smit says he was messing around…
What a sweet deal…
Enjoy chick!!!
Oh and as for a question…
Ask both of them what is the most irritating thing about each other and their teams, i.e. what irritates John the most about Richie and the All Blacks and Richie on John and the Boks!
(They were roomies once when they played for the BaaBaa’s)
Thanks peeps!! Keep those questions coming, please!!
@Ice (Comment 39) :
Oh and get a photo with both!
@Morné (Comment 40) : U bet!!

@try time (Comment 42) : us? You mean John and Richie?? 😆
