When NZ lost the match to France in Cardiff the entire populace went into national mourning. They had been let to expect that the RWC would be coming back with their team on 21st October! A good week not to be a New Zealander!!!!! On the 7th there was blanket coverage in the news…. usually the first 15 minutes devoted to the loss. Each conversation has to involve talk about the loss. They certainly have things out of perspective here!
J had his leg pulled way back in February by some of his teachers about Ireland having no chance in the RWC especially as they could meet NZ in the Cardiff match. He certainly enjoyed going in on Monday and mentioning the match to those teachers!!!!!
At the start of 2007, NZers expected to be winning the Americas Cup and the Rugby World Cup. Now they have neither.
