Last weekend really was a treat as we worked our way thru 4 1/4 finals. We live in Christchurch so have been denied any local games due to our quakes but were on the edge of our seats at home as we watched the finalists fight to stay in the competition.
Some of the contenders desparately wanted a win.
We saw the best from the French sending the English home. The Welsh beating the Irish. The Australians finally beat the South Africans after a grim battle. New Zealand given a fright by Argentina before breaking thru their strong defenses and scoring trys. 4 really great games of rugby.
We trust NZ can beat Australia this weekend and perhaps go on to play against France in the Final......shouldnt count ones chickens before they hatch eh!
New Zealand is gripped by Rugby fever with All Black flags everywhere. A truly fired up experience.
We heard yesterday that our new +4 has been picked up from Malvern and we should see her in NZ prior to Christmas. Regards from the rugby world cup in NZ. John
