Thais Never Show their Emotions
Talking of Thais being able to conceal their emotions reminds me of two events. The first involved an Irish priest and a parishioner; the other occurred when a visiting rugby side was returning to New Zealand after an international.
Not having been to confession or church for months, Patrick, who had a reputation for being a “tough guy,” was physically shaking on being admonished by his priest for failing to attend church as often as he should. Thais would be subservient in that situation but would never have shown their emotions.
The All Blacks were given a very moving send-off at the railway station before boarding their flight home. Their tour had ended in Cardiff and there wasn’t a dry eye amongst the strong burly players as the band struck up the Welsh ballad, “We’ll Keep a Welcome in the Hillsides.” The moving words registered with every player. Thais would have appreciated the warm farewell but no emotions would have been shown.
