To tell the truth, I'm not clear on the whole Angel link-up here mainly because I'm not watching the current Angel being shown. And that's because I'm only up to season 2 of Angel which I am hiring on video from the video shop.
Note please -- I am totally unmoved by sheep jokes. I grew up on a farm with 2000 of them and am impervious to their woolly charms. And... by the way, who just got beaten really badly in a rugby test by .... ENGLAND. It wouldn't be the world champion Australian team, would it?
See, I am impervious to sporting jibes because I couldn't give a Womble about sport of any kind.
If I was going to insult New Zealand I'd say: Ha ha!!! Tom Cruise likes you!!!

They would, I suspect, easily win any fight of that sort with the simple, "So does Peter Jackson."
And I couldn't care less about rugby because it's just a stupid game they play in the north-eastern states. So England are quite welcome to beat us, as are Burkina Faso for that matter.
Yes, sporting taunts definitely need the right audience.
Anyone else think it's cute watching the Antipodeans hurl insults at each other?
Just me then.
Ah, we love each other really. Kiwis are adorable! Those accents are to die for!

As a counter to an insult, I find this meaningless.

Oh, aren't they just? Any NZ-er saying anything longer than a three word sentence sets me giggling for hours. They're just so cute! And I'm mightily impressed by how they handle the inevitable confusion about whether they're saying 'sex' or 'six'.
(Hey, they started it. There's was taunting! Granted some of the taunting was about the mythical sport thing I hear tell of sometimes, but it still counts. I have my complete lack of national pride to protect here.)
It is fun to hear them bad-mouthing each other, or to hear someone doing his impressions of the various accents of Australia and New Zealand, even though they all sound exactly like the Darwin one he started with. It's like listening to orchestra members bitching about how violin and viola are completely different instruments.
