All Blacks

Well, yesterday was the NZ All Blacks vs. AUS Wallabies rugby game! It was said to be the biggest rugby match of the year, with the wallabies and all blacks being huge rivals. The turnout was so huge that they closed down most of the main roads in Christchurch from 5-11pm due to the thousands of people walking in the streets.

We won! It was a very exciting game, and an even more exciting audience. I was a little out of touch with the game having never seen a rugby game before. I found rugby to be of a faster pace and more interesting than American football. the talent on the field was amazing, along with the teamwork shown by the All Blacks.

The Haka dance performed by the All Blacks is a traditional maori war dance/chant which was very impressive. I'm going to learn it to show it back in the States!
