My hubby and I are very fond of supporting the NZ team when ever we are not play against them - they are our second favourite team in any sport. He is very passionate about listening to any countries National Anthem and tonight as we sing along with the NZ - YES WE DO - its such a wonderful team to watch. The Haka ends their introduction of play - a sign of respect the the enemy and a challenge of fair play . We love your team @valmnz - Good Luck to them! As I am writing this, I believe there is already score on the board! This rugby world cup is absolutely marvelous

Nine minutes and both sides have scored! Could be quite a game.

I would never have believed - I am watching through the corner of my eye - one on MyLot and the other on the TV

@Inlemay me too - just went off to have a shower, to enable the All Blacks to improve their score! It worked.

And what a game! 43-10 a good effort from Georgia, but, the All Blacks power on. Congrats @valmnz . This RWC certainly is @Inlemay . :-)

Unfortunately they're not playing very well though.

I thought it was a good effort from Georgia - and well done to the All Blacks again.

I agree that the All Blacks are an excellent team, but the famous Haka seems boring to me.

they have this WC choreography down to a Tee - I love their formation. Its very difficult to get 15 men with the same movement, without one or the other standing out like a sore thumb, so I am impressed with their composed HAKA rather than the one that looks like they want to eat the opponents alive . . . . . - for that is not what the haka means. he he he

I have a friend at work who is from Argentina. I was watching one of their games and their national anthem has an incredibly long intro. I thought it was finishing but they were just about to start singing!!!!!

I believe their anthem is like a ballet concerto intro - so Inge was told when she was there - i made that error once as Tournament Directer when they played hockey here - he he was about to walk away and then the singing started -

I missed this post Lany, the only moment of the rugby I like is the NZ Haka dance.
