Any MFPers coming to NZ for the rugby world cup? It's a long shot as most you are state side and not into rugby but I thought I'd see. We can offer some friendly kiwi advice on travelling our country, while we thrash you in the rugby :P x

    LIKE. (I fdespise AFL!)

    I got an email about cruise specials over there with tix to 4 games but I think they're twin share only. WIll see. Would like to though. I was wanting to come over in August for snowboarding until I got injured.

    P.S is it possible for you guys to choke on home soil? :tongue:
  • Went to the viaduct for the first time in a year in the weekend and it is looking absolutely brilliant for the RWC! I urge anyone visiting to check it out - Kiwis best to go before things get underway I'd say, it is going to be packed when things are underway. So excited... and I'm not even a huge "sports watching" kind of girl.

    @ Mucky_Duck Yah I went down and checked it out last night! It is looking so cool - will they keep it like that after everything is finished do you think? I sure hope so! I love those hangy egg things :P

    @chrisdavey nope I am blindly confident, and we were just lulling you lot into a false sense of security last weekend :P Snow isn't great this season so you aren't missing out too much - went down three times and only had about 3 full days on the mountain total :( Surely you can find a friend re cruise, it's a cruise! And the RWC! what's not to love!

    I'm trying. Seems like everyone's too poor?!

    There were some quiet kiwi's at the pub the other day after that game hehe. But yeah, only because it was a home game for us I think. I just hope England don't get anywhere near the finals. Hate those penalty kicking *kitten*!

    I can imagine, an Australian pub would have been the last place I would have wanted to be.

    I know - they don't play rugby they play aerial ping pong! They will get through their Pool though I guess. Can't wait for us to cream France in our Pool - pay back time! :D
  • Its nearly upon us....

    If we dont win this the goverment might have to give out Prozac on the streets! Us kiwis get seriously depressed if the rugby doesnt go our way. Especially now we are playing for the RWC at home!

    How I wish I could crawl under my bed and stay there till its all over....
