High excitement with the big rugby match to watch - not quite the same when the first thing you hear in the morning is the result. Although I'm not such a dedicated rugby fan to get up at 4am to watch the match live, it was fun watching the re-run tonight.
Only problem was I kept getting told off for supporting our boys from the land of the long white cloud. MT was firmly in the Red Rose camp whilst was sticking to the All Blacks. Couldn't help feeling good about the end result although it was also encouraging to see that England did actually play well and there's signs of improvement on previous performance.
Rubgy U hasn't been the same for me since Jonny, Lawrence and the other World Cup squad moved onto real life and hung up their boots. Don't know these fresh faced lads now donning the England's whites. Even though may see this as not patriotic I'm taking the view that it's the AB players that I watch most weeks and even went to see them at the Super 14s.
Well done Dan, you might not quite have the comical potential as Jonny but still a marvellous kicker. Probably worth saying that our dearest Telecom NZ have a spoof advert intended to wind up the poms where lads on the beach playing rugby and one does a Wilkinson style kick only then to hop around in agony from injuring himself. Cruel but quite funny!
PS - in case you didn't know the score England 20 - New Zealand 41
