It is interesting how, when you go and take a look at the homepage of the National Party website, the Rugby World Cup is at a higher position than the party’s policies.

But the picture on the site of Key holding the Cup kind of says it all. Winning the Cup is National’s election plan. If next weekend we should be fortunate enough to see a battle-weary Richie McCaw holding the Rugby World Cup aloft, let us hope he doesn’t have to first wrestle it off our PM.
