It's More Fun When You Win

 

Buckets of rain, streakers, a capacity crowd, and the All Blacks finally decisively win a test match.  We lost the series with Ireland and then last week against the Argentinian Pumas we lost 25 – 18.  Playing them again this week we won 53 – 3.  Our national rugby team has been having one of the worst seasons of their history, so it is nice to see them play like we expect them to play (rugby is our national game, and we put a lot of pressure on our teams to perform well).

The bonus for us was the game was being played at our local stadium here at Hamilton.  The rain set in late afternoon and has been steady since then and occasionally heavy as well.  If the temperature had been colder we might not have had play interrupted by a couple of naked streakers on the field!

Now we have the South Africa versus Australia game to watch live.  I’m expecting it will be another good game – it will need to be to keep me awake as it doesn’t finish (in the live broadcast we receive) until nearly midnight!

Cheers everyone 😊
