......... and look out for the gorse ! I'm really slick at changing a tyre now, but it isn't funny at an outfield - no spares, wrong tools ! Happens a lot at my home field, despite frequent complaints to the management; sprayed gorse dies but sets like concrete, far worse than the growing stuff.

I'm told that Scots immigrants 'imported' gorse into NZ eons ago, because they felt homesick !! Maybe it's just a tale, but it's sure taken off. Maori say it isn't " native " and blame the Pakeha.

Oh yes, and beware of undulating surfaces if you have a long prop. !
