That's randon and cool to get into the Rugby action with a bunch of new friends.<BR/>Random note: if you see any marino sheep can you take a picture for me and maybe even touch one? It's just a dream of mine.<BR/>DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36037651.post-55819896235599359362008-09-15T09:57:00.000-06:002008-09-15T09:57:00.000-06:00Oh Lowell and Julie, the All Blacks have sucked yo...Oh Lowell and Julie, the All Blacks have sucked you in... but we will still be your friends and like you.

It seems you were keeping a good eye the audience. Great action shots. The tension and then relief come through very clear! I enjoyed that.<BR/>Love MumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36037651.post-81608198605018031092008-09-14T14:39:00.001-06:002008-09-14T14:39:00.001-06:00Gillian- I think I will now have a special place i...Gillian- I think I will now have a special place in my heart for rugby...but really only NZ rugby.

Not even a little. We learned a bit about it prior to watching the game, but everyone was really good at explaining things throughout the game. Eventually we were really into the game ourselves and pretty well (i.e., not COMPLETELY) knew what was going on.<BR/><BR/>I was very consciously stifling/limiting my vocal outbursts (which was very tricky to do) b/c I didn't want to scare off my new friends...yet.<BR/><BR/>Oh, the haka is a threatening little dance/chant they do in unison before the game starts. If you google it, you'll find more info.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure I would recognize the captain (he's the left guy in the first picture) and #8 and #12 (2 huge Maori dudes with dreds). But good point, Shar...I'll have to do my homework so I don't miss a celebrity encounter!Lowell & Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874923152526236731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36037651.post-38379356457335413622008-09-14T10:56:00.000-06:002008-09-14T10:56:00.000-06:00I couldn't watch the video of the "throat slitting...I couldn't watch the video of the "throat slitting haka" - what is it exactly? I don't really understand rugby, but know people get hurt a lot. I can picture you covering your eyes all the time, though. Do you think you'll become a big enough fan to learn all their nams and search them out on the streets of NZ for more celebrity encounters?shareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716965593764067637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36037651.post-32831657041047014132008-09-14T10:25:00.000-06:002008-09-14T10:25:00.000-06:00You two must be good luck.

I got a crash course in cricket by my host family... and to this day, I enjoy cricket. Strange isn't it.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381255321644599968noreply@blogger.com
