The rugby continues and so does all things linked to rugby. The press are still enjoying England's captain 'relaxing' after a tough game at a night club which had a dwarf throwing competition. His management seem to have supported this, which is in contrast to a young AB who was paraded infront of the media to admit to and apologise for his heavy drinking episodes. He humbly apologised as the team managment looked on.
Our local towns are hosting Italy and USA teams. This means we have had Italian food festivals etc. there is a wine competition between NZ Italy and USA and to celebrate USA 'culture', a local town is having an American field party, which includes a watermellon pip, spitting competition as well as a duck herding competition. The options to embrace other cultures are endless !!
The world is a small place, as we found out on saturday, when we were sitting in the stadium in Auckland, waiting for the match to start. A girl from a few rows away, came over and said to Lisa "remember me, you taught me to drive". She did remember her, she was from Portrush and we had played hockey with her mum!
