It always amazes me that the KIWIS crow about their team.

It's a religion over there with about 3 million players . When they beat us , which happens mostly, they are actually playing against a team that is comprised of players from about a dozen private schools in the Sydney and Brisbane areas.

Good one, like it. I was downtown Auckland for the opening party, by the numbers present I think half of the North Island was there. Been quite a few negatives surrounding the public transport debacle on the night but besides that its great to be part of something positive for once. Of note are the numbers of international fans present. For our North American friends Canada and USA are here playing. Check out the opening ceremony on youtube. Go the all Blacks. sorry couldn't help myself

Excellent point Kenney. You could choose instead to watch "Year of the Blitz" 1 and 2.

Wiremu, a New Zealander, was on the dole in Australia but about to fly home to watch the Rugby World Cup and was not feeling well, so he decided to see a doctor.

"Hey doc, I dun't feel so good, ey" said Wiremu.

The doctor gave him a thorough examination and informed Wiremu that he had long existing and advanced prostate problems and that the
only cure was testicular removal.

"No way doc" replied Wiremu "I'm gitting a sicond opinion ey!"

The second Aussie doctor gave Wiremu the same diagnosis and also advised him that testicular removal was the only cure. Not surprisingly, Wiremu refused the treatment.

Wiremu was devastated, but with the Rugby World Cup just around the corner he found an expat Kiwi doctor and decided to get one last opinion from someone he could trust.

The Kiwi doctor examined him and said: "Wiremu Cuzzy Bro, you huv Prostate suckness ey."

"What's the cure thin doc ?" asked Wiremu hoping for a different answer.

"Wull, Wiremu", said the Kiwi doctor "Wi're gonna huv to cut off your balls."

"Phew, thunk god for thut!" said Wiremu, "those Aussie bastards wanted to take my test tickets off me!"

A few more hours and the big rugger match will be all on. The 2 best teams in the world to clash to see who will play the French in the final for the World Cup, (the winner tonight has it in the bag). Australia hasn't won a game against the AB's at Eden Park since 1986, here's hoping that wont change as this game will be down to the wire.

An excellent result David. I have never seen so much blood in any game. Well done the AB's
I have enjoyed all the games I have watched.
I think the less favoured teams have played very well, and the large points gaps did not fairly reflect their efforts. Well done Samoa, Canada, and Argentina!

For a country that has two seasons, ponds too soft to skate or too hard to fish, we seem to do OK for ourselves in some sports. The national game of hockey is not doing too well on account of roughness, injury and fighting, and that is just for girls' hockey.

Of the summer field sports, round ball soccer and pointy ball football do well. Surprisingly, Ultimate Frisbee is loads of fun to watch and play. Rugby has a good following, and is well attended in schools. Field hockey gets little attention; the sticks are wrong. Cricket is isolated to South Asian and Carribbean circles. Hardball baseball and softball are fun, but there is enough professional ball on TV to lose my interest. So, if an Aussie recognizes a good Canadian rugby effort, I'll take that as a compliment to a distracted nation that has lots of choices. If only we could put our minds to it full time ....
