5 people confirmed with COVID-19 in New Zealand. No shut downs here right now but people are concerned.

Brilliant tactics used by Italy. New Zealand Super Rugby teams were doing this a few seasons ago, although nowhere near as good as Italy.

Wow! We never really see any of the games in Europe… Eddie Jones is a good coach.

Season will begin shortly here in NZ… looking forward to the Lions Tour.

Have you guys heard of the book Legacy: What the All Blacks Can Teach Us About the Business of Life. 15 Lessons In Leadership written by James Kerr?

It's got some interesting insights into the All Blacks culture, things like sweeping the sheds after games... you'd be hard pressed to find any tier 1 teams doing that... although I saw the Australian team picking up rubbish not long ago so they've obviously read the book.

How is England going under Eddie Jones?

Oops

My all-time favourite sneaker brand.

I hand dyed a batch of natural Center Hi.

Thanks @Seul and hi @tmg, @Dion, @neph93.

That's the soft toe boot in soggy brown/roughout leather from local farms… tanned here as well. It's got the Sportsman Sole from Dr Sole.

Here's a few pairs just about finished up at the workshop. The workshop is in my good friends garage under his house on one the most beautiful beaches in the Winterless North of NZ. There's only about 20 houses on this stretch of coast and it's 12 hours away from my house... unfortunately!

I wanted to make the perfect winter work sock and this is what I came up with.

These heavy duty socks are made on vintage 1960's knitting machines using New Zealand wool spun in the lower North Island. We piece dye each sock once knitted to get the unique colours.

They are super tough and soften beautifully with wear… I don't think we could make a better hard wearing sock!

Details:

• 80% NZ Wool / 20% Nylon
• Shrink treated
• 1x1 rib top / 2x2 rib leg
• Extra nylon reinforcing in heel & toe

I've started on a new seriously heavy duty boot sock.

Details:

1960's farm style sock designed for rugged performance and durability

• 70% NZ Wool
• 30% Nylon
• Piece Dyed
• Made in New Zealand

@rohitsingh They stretched a little bit but both styles are tight on me… I prefer the 634.
