The death of rugby, racing and beerFIONA GOODALL/GETTY IMAGES Luke Romano of the All Blacks scores a try during the Rugby Championship match between the New Zealand All Blacks and Argentina at Waikato Stadium in 2016. OPINION: Once we were rugby, racing and beer. Men in black singlets sang along to Rod Derrett's Rugby, Racing and Beer and cursed as the doors closed during the 6 o'clock swill. We were rugby, racing and beer and anyone who wasn't was a faggot, a Values Party member, or worse, an academic or one of those communist types who protested on the street about nuclear bombs or South African rugby teams. Rugby, racing and beer is a quaint way of saying we were less sophisticated then and now we have options that have put those old lifestyles in the past.
