Off Air and a NZRFU fall back plan

We are 'off air' at the moment - that is our desktop PC is in for repairs. However, we do have a fall back plan as we are using the laptop. Plus of course we have backed up our stuff to CD and/or Flash Drive. A laptop is not all they are cracked up to be as I found the mouse and keyboard extremely difficult to use. So we bought a keyboard/mouse to attach which has made it much easier. The cost - $18-00 - what!!!! It seems incredible that probably only 12 months ago it would be at least $100. Also bought a DVD player to put us a bit further into the 21st Century - although as one of my daughters says we still haven't got Caller ID on our phone.

The real question is does the NZRFU have a back up plan if everything goes pear shape over the next two years. If, as seems possible, Robbie goes - Warren Gatland has already gone - then what is the back up plan. If asked they would probably say yes they do have a plan - Yeah Right!!

The charity raffle I am involved in is going better than last year. Is there more money about? I wouldn't have thought so with rising interest rates. Anyway we will see on Xmas Eve what the final outcome is.
