TIME WIZARD
Despite repeatedly telling friends he’s “snowed under with work”, 31-year-old Christchurch financial adviser Matt Peters has somehow managed to carve out six hours a week to tinker with his Super Rugby Pacific fantasy team.
“Oh mate, work is just non-stop right now,” Peters said, after spending 45 minutes debating whether to have Ardie Savea or Damian McKenzie as captain for the week.
Super Rugby Pacific fantasy, launched this year, has given Peters a brand-new way to look busy at work each week, dedicating approximately one hour a day to checking up on player injuries and deep-diving into prop try-scoring stats.
“I’ve barely had a chance to think about anything outside of work,” he told our reporters just minutes before launching into an impassioned rant about why he’s backing Fijian Drua’s backline to go big this weekend.
Despite his protestations of being time-poor, Peters is expected to spend a good few hours today agonising over minor squad tweaks, while also stressing over which player he will use his Booster on for triple points.
“Oh look, it’s just flat tack at the moment.”
More to come.
