I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I'm sure the AB's will do their best to make sure that the Aussies don't take the Webb Ellis Trophy home with them (assuming that the Wallabies beat Los Pumas tomorrow)   :)

I might even get a grandstand view of the Trophy arriving at NZ Rugby HQ in Wellington - I work just across the road....if NZ win next weekend  ;)

If? If?! Hold your tongue, you heretical oaf!  :o

It was an edge of the seat game yesterday though....  :-SS

Close game largely due to the All Blacks giving away so many penalties in the first half. Hope the Pumas win today as that would set up a cracking final IMHO.

And it would mean the Aussies get to play in the loser final :D

As all good Kiwis should, I support the All Blacks and anyone playing Australia ;)

This can get a little challenging when Australia play England ;D

Go, Los Pumas

Well just watched the second semi, so the AB's get to play the Aussies.

I hope the AB's do bring it home Dave, but its not 100% guaranteed.....

but have to say the AB's would be my odds on favourites after seeing the Wallabies play today  8)

I missed the first 50 minutes or so, due to not being able to read the TV guide properly.... felt sorry for the Pumas - they gave it a good go.

The Wallabies must be hurting after the recent games. I hope the ABs win as they do play some wonderful rugby.

About 10 minutes, perhaps ;)

I haven't seen the game and only read the result the next morning, no coverage here in Manila

AB's arrived home to a heros welcome today (hardly surprising : )).

Talk is that Richie McCaw should be knighted  :o

Now just need Spurs to win the Premier League and sporting nivarna will be complete!?!
