Let's not beat around the bush any longer.
There is nothing else on this week - it's all about the rugby. The Rugby World Cup (RWC) to be precise.
There is talk of rugby everywhere you turn, flag bunting hoisted outside shop fronts and houses and there is a thick air of anticipation. What will people think about NZ? What if they get stuck behind a caravan on SH1 or even worse get a bad coffee? Heaven forbid. But, really the thick air of anticipation is not because of the state of our roads or coffee, but whether the All Blacks will win at home!
I can answer that, I have just read The Dominion Posts RWC 2011 guide to the biggest event in NZ (on sale today). Non Kiwis look away now if you don't want the result spoiled for you. WE WIN!
Ok, so that is THAT sorted. Now, let's relax, enjoy the party atmosphere, and get on with doing what we do best, play great rugby and afford our visitors the best hospitality anywhere in the world.
Friday 9th Sept at 7.30pm is the official opening of the RWC at Eden Park, Auckland. This precedes the first game of the tournament between the All Blacks and Tonga at 8.30pm. Tonga will follow the All Blacks haka with their own, and then the games commence.
