- Description
An AIG insurance executive informs the New Zealand Rugby Union that they only sponsor the the All Black rugby team - they do not insure them against being run over by a 'Sweet Chariot'. A computer display gives the result of a game 'Eng 38, NZ 21'.
Refers to the international match between England and New Zealand at Twickenham Stadium on 1 Dec 2012, where, contrary to expectations, the All Blacks lost. 'Sweet Chariot' refers to the song, 'Swing low, sweet chariot', commonly sung by supporters of the English rugby team. The sponsorship in October 2012 of the All Black uniform by the insurance group AIG, who insisted on a prominent display of their logo on the jersey, was controversial and antagonised many traditional followers of the All Blacks.
