All Blacks v. Oz
We did the typical Kiwi experience at the weekend - went to see the All Blacks play. It was against Australia as well. I was quite surprised by how quiet the crowd was - I was expecting Armageddon. However, things warmed up a bit in the second half (I’m not sure whether it was the rugby improving or the booze kicking in that had the desired effect). The onlyt downside to the night was the terrible weather - torrential rain and a thumder and lighning storm as well. We were partially covered by the adjoining terrace but the people around us weren’t so lucky. The All Blacks won in the end - and now it is all guns blazing for the world cup. I hope they win it - the nationwide depression will be too much to deal with.
