In a country where rugby union is the dominant religion it's hard for any other sporting code, let alone Allah, to get a look-in from the NZ media. Nicknames help - joining the All Blacks there are the Black Cap cricketers, Silver Fern netballers, Black Fern female rugby players, Tall Black basketballers, All White soccer players (slightly unfortunate neo-Nazi implications there perhaps) and more.

But right now Dregs From Darlo is proud to offer muchos favourable media coverage to the elegant, the dashing, the daring... NZ BADMINTON team! The self-annointed Black Cocks. 

The mighty male members' battle with Australia continues.
