I never thought I'd see the day . . .
I never thought I'd see the day that I would cheer for anyone over Ireland (seeing as UVA doesn't play any Irish teams), but I was definitely cheering for the ALL Blacks when they played Ireland's rugby team last weekend. The hakka at the beginning is enough to get anyone excited about the game. Ireland got squashed! Most of the fans were Irish since we were in an Irish pub, but most people left at halftime.
If anyone wants to come see the Hong Kong Sevens, you are welcome to stay with me. The rugby games start March 31st and go all weekend!

I missed the game but I heard all about it. Men against boys was the most common description I've come across. To think that half that team aren't normally starting for the All Blacks! Scary.
I saw a humourous documentary on the Lions tour of New Zealand called 'Chasing the Lions'. Brilliant. If you can find it on DVD, get it. The Lions are basically an all star team from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales who gather every few yaers to tour. I think Australia was 3-4 years ago and they were hammered by New Zealand this year. They lost all 3 games heavily.
The Haka. Still one of the most impressive scenes on a sportsfield. I feel like tackling someone just watching it. It's something everyone should see.
