The Rugby

Just got in from a weekend away in Wanganui visiting some friends. It was a great long weekend away from Marton and today was Labour Day! Headed up to Wanganui on Saturday morning and headed to my first New Zealand Rugby Game! Amazingly to me it was a pretty tame crowd as Wanganui took on Mid Canterbury in the final Meads Cup. It was a great game and the home town came away with the big win! For the first time in any game I've been to at home and here I made it on the T.V!! Sitting in the crowd and waving like a wild maniac the group of us made it on T.V! Celeb... on the rise.. in little ol' Wanganui. Wanganui won the cup and it was a fun night out on the town as the local pub was packed with members of both sides. Wanganui is a pretty little city and is located right on the river. More exciting than Marton and a nice getaway from the little cottage that I call home. This thursday I am headed to Wellington to the U-17 World Cup Soccer that is beng held in New Zealand. I am going to see Brazil vs England and can not wait! A great week of sport spectating!
