We felt very priviledged to be able to secure a pair of tickets to see the All Blacks v the Wallabies! Not knowing if we were going t oget the opportunity to see the All Blacks play at Jade again before we go back to the UK we just couldn't resist!
To be honest......we went on line 3 weeks after the tickets went on sale (thinking from UK Rugby experience that we would be laughed off the site!) we found that we could pretty much pick where we wanted to sit! WE then had to endure the endless question of (why do you want to go and watch it...it's on Prime at 8.30! Which was true, but the English......we like to go and sit in the freezing cold and cheer on the chosen team......!
It was awesome and surprising warm, we were expecting to have to wear ALL the clothes we own! Even my cutting half way through my thumb didn't put us off! I wasn't going to sit in ED when I had all blacks tickets! Stubborn as well and stupid!! So I grabbed a beer and got on with it! So here are the photos!

This was the first time the new Haka had been seen! It was amazing, they had it miked up and I'm not kidding there is no way I would want to be standing opposite these guys! I'll have to see if I can put the video up of it!
AND this one thing I thought I would never see myself doing! Cheering a New Zealand try!? I wonder weather my Dad will ever talk to me again!?

Do they have horses riding round the pitch prior to international games, or is that just a Crusaders thing?
Also can we also have a blog article on your recent bargins from warehouse please?
