“God it’s been done New Zea-ea-land”
Aside from occasional sporting contests against Australia, do Kiwis get excited about anything else in their lives?
Commonwealth Games medal tally…
Australia:
72 gold. 50 silver. 47 bronze.
New Zealand:
5 gold. 22 silver. 7 bronze.
BUt netball is the big one. There are about 5 countries that play it. Including the south pacific islands.

No wonder New Zealanders are celebrating their Commonwealth Games rugby sevens final win over Australia loud and long.
The Kiwis have proven the masters of coming second at the Delhi Games – and it’s usually behind an Australian.
And not only did the 24-17 rugby win maintain their unbeaten run in the national sport through four straight Games since its debut, it also took away the embarrassment of sitting behind tiny Samoa on the medal table.

It was only New Zealand’s third gold medal of the Games while they had amassed 18 silver medals.
NZPA’s Kevin Norquay worked out that 10 of those silver medallists has to listen to Advance Australia Fair played at the medal presentation ceremony.
As he put it: “For eight days in Delhi, New Zealanders have had to endure Aussies putting a spoke in the wheel of our cyclists, sinking our swimmers, getting heavy with our weightlifters and taking the stick to our hockey players.”
Screw a medal tally. Who rates higher on Creative rankings?
Chur the bro.
New Zealand 66 Australia 64
