Jesus is an All Black

It seems that New Zealand is leaving nothing to chance in its attempts to win the Rugby World Cup.

St Paul's Anglican Cathedral in Wellington has been exhibiting a painting depicting a haloed Jesus wearing an All Blacks jersey as he dispenses blessings while clutching a white rugby ball.

"Central to Christian belief is that God became a human being in this world. Our belief is that he happened to do that 2,000 years ago in Palestine… if it were to happen today, why should he not be an All Black?" says the Very Reverend Frank Nelson.

And this blog can exclusively reveal that, according to the the Right Reverend Graham Henry, if Jesus were indeed an All Black, he would be named on the bench as cover for Dan Carter.
