The First Lady of the Fern, Mooloo girl Mokey has also been around since before the current forum was a twinkle in Bart’s eye, adding the feminine touch as a moderator, and keeping a queenly eye on the goings on of New Zealand sport and our forum-land!  Joined in march 2003!

Describe yourself in 25 words or less: Wellington-born, Waikato-bred, practical, stropy, tall, patriotic, sarcastic, loyal, sports-loving non-girly, vodka-drinking, former catwalk model chick!

What international rugby team do you support and why?  All Blacks.  Full stop.  Because I am a New Zealander, and they are my team, regardless of who is playing, who is coaching or who their sponsors are.

What Super 14 team do you support and why?  Chiefs.  This is always a roller coaster ride of ecstasy and despair, mixed with extreme frustration, but they are still my team, and despite the efforts of other posters to get me to switch allegiance, I’m still a red, yellow and black gal.

What's the biggest challenge facing rugby?  The money issue.  The turning of rugby into commercial hell.

Who was the game's greatest ever player?  Hard to say, there have been so many legends who have worn the black jersey, all sublime players in their own way – Gallaher, Nepia, Meads, Jones, Kirwan etc

How about non-NZ players? Who were/are the greatest?  Serge Blanco, Waisale Serevi, that bloody goal kicking lock John Eales….

The best match you have ever seen?  The Game of the Century Bledisloe Cup match was pretty amazing.  When Waikato took the Shield off Auckland at Eden Park in 1997.

The best try you have ever seen?  Hard to go past a rampaging Jonah Lomu against England…

What position did you play, if you played, in rugby?  Cheerleader/support crew…..etc

What do you like about the Silverfern?  The family atmosphere – the teasing, the fighting, the scolding, the shared celebrations when great things happen, an army of big and little brothers for me! Like minded people chewing the fat on a range of issues, the different points of view, the humour, having people to share a drink with no matter where you are in NZ (or the world for that matter). 

How could the site be improved?  Not much I would change, except for the few dickheads who come along just to wind up others, they can move along!

Who's your favourite poster?  I’ve met lots of great people through the Fern, some who I count as good mates.  Always interesting though, when people ask how you know each other!

Who's the worst poster?  I can think of one fuckwit in particular…

How did you pick your user name?  Mokey was a high school nickname (From Fraggle Rock).

How could the game of rugby be improved?  Better looking forwards!

What rugby player would you turn gay for?  I wouldn’t turn gay for a rugby player!

Non-rugby questions now

Favourite music?  Anything I can sing along too.

Favourite book?  Devil May Cry by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Favourite Film?  Love Actually

Biggest lifetime regret?  Plenty of regrets, but its often the worst of times when you learn the most valuable lessons – ie what to never do again!

Greatest hope?  Love, happiness, good health.  An NZRFU trophy cabinet bursting at the seams…
