I wasn't meaning you were, (being sexist) I just wasn't sure if you knew that women here also play rugby. And hell yes, it's as rough as guts.

...scrum me baby!....(now THAT'S sexist)...
This is funny... and the complete opposite has been circulating on FB for the last few weeks... well, on my (and other Kiwi's news feeds anyway
Argentina can bring a good game, they play passionately, we'll see how well our boys have settled in (to the northern hemisphere/time zone etc) for sure.
(I can be a bit superstitious and try not to speak of winning specific games, right before the game... unless I'm trying to pysch-out an Aussie!
Amazing.
I know this video is advertising a product (nothing to do with me or anyone I know) but I wanted to share it, for two reasons.
1) It shows a little of how much the "Haka" means to us when the boys perform it before a game... and it shows the dedication of a player.
2) It showcases Richie McCaw, our team captain... and he's my guy!
First game England v Fiji... playing now.
England 35 ~ Fiji 11
Fantastic game, congratulations to England for the win! (plus bonus point... look out Australia)
However... the score does not at all reflect the game that Fiji had. I have never seen Fiji play with such heart before this... fantastic performance and they should be very, very proud of themselves!

Thought I might catch the Ireland vs Canada game this morning before the kid's softball game started. But $27.99 to see the game... I don't think so. 
Aw man, I don't blame you!Thought I might catch the Ireland vs Canada game this morning before the kid's softball game started. But $27.99 to see the game... I don't think so.
I was very discouraged yesterday because (I don't have Sky TV so can't see games live) I realised that our local TV was only showing the first game (Eng v Fiji) live... and all of the NZ games would be DELAYED (by about 9 hours!!!) and the other games... highlights only!
I was devastated, because I had misunderstood what coverage we'd be having.
Anyway... I have now paid $12.95 (per month, will need two for the tournament) and now I can watch ALL of the games!
It's possible to watch live, but I've found it a bit too laggy, so now I wait until the game is over and then watch the whole thing... with no lagging at all.
I will get to see all of the NZ games just a couple of hours after the match instead of 9 hours! (I have already had 3 games 'spoiled' because of FB... most rugby fans are watching live.)

Enjoy your games. Viewing will be limited here for me-- Catch as they are shown by whatever TV station decides to carry them.
I hope you will get to see some coverage, Spidey... (This sport is running through my veins, I needs it!)
Some more results:
Georgia 17 ~ Tonga 10
Ireland 50 ~ Canada 7
Japan 34 ~ South Africa 32 .... an AMAZING game of rugby, felt like it was the 'final' of the tournament, loved it! Well done Japan!
France 32 ~ Italy 10

At least you're in the championship!! Sweden didn't even come close to qualify. We probably have a team somewhere but it is so far down that its not even on the list.......Hmmm - Canada!
New Zealand 26 ~ Argentina 16
We got the win, but it was an ugly game... we made a lot of mistakes that will need addressing before we hit the field next.
As for my boy Richie being yellow-carded.
Not a very clever move there, Rich.

Less mistakes the next game, Flake. One learns from mistakes. May the next win be grand.
Flake, is this some new electric slide style formation NZ is utilizing?
