Who is going to win the Rugby World Cup, Flake? Not NZ, by any chance, eh? That second match where they thrashed Australia, that guy with the dreadlocks, the nuggety fast guy, he's a great player. Luigi the Unbelievable is making a prediction: In the Final, Australia 24- New Zealand 17
We'll see....
(I am worried about the fact that we've never been able to win it in the northern hemisphere and that nobody yet has won it back-to-back, but I do have (much) hope...!)
So excited... can't wait!
And to tip the scale Flake has me cheering her team on. Thats a big reinforcement to the team......
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!

I can feel your excitement, Flake!!!P.S: The Rugby World Cup begins.... today!
My (other) job is not particularly pleasant, but yesterday I was grinning like a fool all day at work... I have been waiting four years for this to start up again.
...impressive as hell...this is a man's game, no doubt....ya gotta do it for love-not cuz it feels good....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.

A New Zealand schoolteacher explains to her class that she is an All Blacks fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are All Blacks fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand expect one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?" "Because I'm not an All Blacks fan," she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not an All Blacks fan, then who are you a fan of?" "I am a Wallabies fan, and proud of it," Janie replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. "Janie, why are you a Wallabies fan?" "Because my mum is a Wallabies fan, and my dad is a Wallabies fan, so I'm a Wallabies fan too!" "Well," said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, "That is no reason for you to be a Wallabies fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum were a moron and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?" "Then,"Janie smiled and said, "I'd be an All Blacks fan."
Good luck against Argentina, Flake. New Zealand should take it all, right?
I had tears well up watching that video... uniquely Kiwi.
Re: the man's game... we have women's teams too.
I so hope it will be Spidey, we won the last tournament, if we win this one it will be a monumental achievement... nobody has won back-to-back like that.
Anyway... regardless of who wins, I think we'll be in for some very good rugby over the next weeks.
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 anywayA New Zealand schoolteacher explains to her class that she is an All Blacks fan.

)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!
)
...I know there are women's teams, and wasn't trying to be sexist-I use that term to mean how rough and rugged it is, as opposed to say-badminton.....I had tears well up watching that video... uniquely Kiwi.
