Football, Soccer, and a School yard Brawl
I went to my first Rugby Match today. It was Auckland versus Northland in the quarter finals of the Air New Zealand Cup. As far as I can tell, rugby is sort of a cross between football, soccer, and a school yard brawl or, to put it in CARPS terms, its like Orc ball with fewer rules. I think I started to understand the basics by the end of the game. Auckland lost by 5 which was a major upset. They were expected to walk all over Northland. It was loads of fun and I will probably go to a semi final game next weekend. The tickets were only NZ$10 which included the train ticket to and from the stadium.

Hey Wayne!! Great pics so far! Any new updates lately? Have you visited any of the places where they filmed the LOTR series?? I know there is a park in Auckland, where they did some filming.
Well, I hope all is well and I look forward to seeing more updates!!
