Thats a great shame about the ground in christchurch being comprimised.
Unfortunately for me all the games are on during the small hours of the night so I might not watch some of the lessor games, but I will watch all the major teams. I love the difference in the southern and northern hemisphere styles and see all the differenct characters!
Who can forget Jonah Lomu!?! That man is a legend especially considering what he went through just to play rugby
Under two weeks to go!
Size r u going to any matches bro??

You'll probably call me paranoid . . . and maybe I am . . . but . . .
1. Our SAS troops have just taken out a bunch of Taliban insurgents while rescuing British and South African civilians.
2. NZ has a massive coastal border and very average customs and border security.
3. The RWC is a high profile international event and includes European nations, Britian, USA, Canada, Aust., SA, etc.
4. Upwards of 40,000 people packed into one stadium.
5. NZ'ers have a typical "it could never happen here" head in the sand approach. (remember Bali?).
Conclusion: I'll sit this one out and watch it on the telly.

Ok giving this thread bit of a boost, here's a map of New Zealand where the Rugby World Cup is being played for this month.
Jonah Lomu has recently decided to enter the ring in a charity boxing match to raise money for child cancer.
He challenged a professional boxer 10 years his junior . . . the pro declined.
WOW Finallysomepride.....NICE POST...........!
I am in New Plymouth, you should never have left! Its awesome here! Voted the best place to live in the world!
LOL
Great to see New Plymouth has 3 tests, a lot of good comments I've read about the revamped Rugby Park.
lookin forward to seeing (hopefully) on the telly. Aussie TV, when it comes to showing non aussie games, is shit.
Voted the best place to live in the world!
D . . . I believe they only conducted the poll in New Plymouth.
