Short & sweet

Jimmy Spithill should be wary, biting the hand that feeds him, with his ongoing vitriol against New Zealand. Take away all the Kiwis in his team and crew and let's see how good he is.

Judy Hutchinson, Taupo. Thanks for the encouraging words, Brad Butterworth. But if you and Russell Coutts had not led the mass defection to sail for the opposition, we'd still have it.

Chris Lonsdale, New Plymouth. Very adept at baiting ETNZ and the media . . . Take a bow, Team Oracle.

Jeffrey Langford, Belmont.
