Thanks for posting that, yep the opening ceremony was pretty cool, i love our HAKA, even though there is always controversy over it,of course we won the first game, but that was expected of us,the pressure is on though,some jolly good teams playing here.

Apparently the Italians, have been voted the prettiest team, i have yet to see the handsome hunks, but i am sure they will live up to it lol.

Yep six weeks of total madness here, my son went to the opening ceremony and game, said it was awesome, he was going down to the viaduct, but it was packed so don't think he made it down there.my sister could see the fireworks display from her home, said it was pretty spectacular.

However on the downside, still some arrests were made, and the train system let fans down, some people did not make it on time for the game, one of them being one of the all blacks mother, not good enough AUCKLAND.

We had yet to have our games in our city, i am sure we will do better, here's hoping.
