The digital media of iamjonnyking has taken its next evolution with the establishment of the Shakespearean Rugby Club.
What the heck, you may be thinking.
Let me explain by starting with a little history.
It would be the start of 2009 that I began to offer my distinctive ruminations and remonstrations on any number of subject matters, as the encouragement and assistance of some kiwi brethren would provide the means necessary to communicate in a digital world. [Read more...]

Remember the name, Michael Paterson, rugby fans in New Zealand?

Shocking news slowly emerged yesterday that Willie Ripia would no longer use the Force, into SupeRugby 2012, and beyond.
It did not take an IRS agent to work out that something was very wrong about this situation, after the Force made it clear that an internal matter had paved the way for this course of action.
