Its been a while since I have been passionate about rugby, I didn't really follow the game much while I was living in London . . . but this year I'm back into it. Reid and I watched a few games of the Super 14 and have watched most of the All Blacks games this season. It has been so exciting and last nights game against Australia was no exception, a closely fought battle for the Bledisloe cup, NZ coming out on top 13 points to 9. Part way through the second half Carter kicked a drop goal and I thought what a waste, if they'd kept on running they might have scored . . . . but on the other hand if they hadn't scored then it would have been 10-9 for the closing minutes just when desperation kicked in for Australia and MAN was it tense!
Anyways - here are the results from All Blacks games so far this season:
New Zealand v Ireland 34-23
New Zealand v Ireland 27-17
New Zealand v Argentina 25-19
New Zealand v Australia 32-12
New Zealand v South Africa 35-17
New Zealand v Australia 13-9
Oh yeah, and how about that Haka - apparently the new Haka has been causing quite a stir here in Oz. Although since I live in Victoria and don't want much free to air telly I've missed all the controversy. Apparently the Aussies aren't that keen on the throat cutting action. I must admit it does look pretty intimidating, but last night the Wallabys didn't even watch the Haka they started up a mini training session off field - chickens!
