Outline:
When a sports fan claims he has knocked his country out of the World Cup, it’s easy to dismiss the claim and focus on the team he follows. But once the years have been reviewed and details recounted the coincidences are startling. This man, with reckless action, has consistently knocked the World’s most famous Rugby team out of the World Cup to an entire nation’s distress. He does this with a simple inanimate object – A Blanket.

A product of two radical protestors that stopped a Rugby match in 1981, Kerry Muir was never likely to become a diehard rugby fan. In a household where Rugby was both revered and reviled depending on which parent he was talking to, he grows to love the sport.

Armed only with a tartan picnic blanket bought in Auckland’s red light district by his grandmother, Kerry realises after a ‘forced inheritance’ that the blanket seems to affect the results of the team directly. He struggles to believe that such an object really works. Each time he doubts the object, the All Blacks suffer.
