The Rugby World Cup has started and it has taken New Zealand by storm!
Every news story is laden with who is injured, who is on form and what the current odds are. I have decided that I useless at piking the winners. I am in a virtual rugby comp at work, yeah I am currently 21/23 - I fully SUCK.
Watching the games is much better. We had Pool tickets which meant we were going to all the Wellington games (except those that were transferred from Christchurch). Our first game was on September 11th and it was South Africa vs Wales.
I was very surprised to see that the stadium was almost packed! And even though NZ wasn't playing, the atmosphere was incredible.
To me and our group, we were rooting for any team playing AGAINST Australia or South Africa. We would support the under-dog - it would totally be awesome if some little random country took out a game!
The next game up was South Africa Vs Fiji - So of course we were supporting Fiji. It was freezing cold but we made an effort - dam that cheeky safa that snuck in with his flag!
After 2 Safa games back to back I can confidently say that the South African supports are the worst people, they were loud, rude and just general A-Holes!
On the way to the stadium we bumped into these Philippine dancers - who were totally awesome! And of course some drunk Safa had to jump in and make a dick of himself! gggrrrr
This weekend we watched USA take on Australia, the first 7 minutes were even! But of course USA got hammered!!!! We dressed up as cowgirls, jeans, checkered shirts and hats :) It was really cool.
Next weekend we have the mighty All Blacks, who are going to give Canada a hiding!!!!
