QUIZ: Are you the only All Black in camp who remembered to bring their phone?
Sport Review #129
You’ve just arrived at the hotel. Are you:
Neatly unpacking your gear. If it’s all organised, that’s less decisions you have to make
Sitting on the toilet seat waiting for Hannah to finish briefing Beauden on using Instagram tags as contractually obliged
Is the breakfast buffet a time for:
Checking in with team mates to see how their day is shaping up mentally and physically?
Grimly following the Angry Birds tournament that’s happening on your phone that’s being passed all around you?
Your phone is ringing. Who is it?
One of your kids showing you a drawing they’ve made for you about how much they miss you
Mark Robinson wanting you to pass on a message to Ian Foster about those puffed up Aussie arseholes
It’s 3am and there’s a knock at the door. Is it?
Emergency services, asking why you haven’t heard the fire alarm?
Codie Taylor wanting your charger as well
What is your phone’s homepage wallpaper?
A great photo of you and your wife and kids from the time you went jet boating between lockdowns
Grim tentacle meme that made you drop the phone in horror the first time you saw it
ANSWERS
Mostly 1’s: It doesn’t look like you remembered your phone. Good, those things are full of 5G anyway.
Mostly 2’s: Unlucky. Time to downgrade to that Nokia 3300 if you want a moment’s peace.
