Well the sporting world is just about to go crazy. World Cup, touring rugby teams, ongoing cricket. What more would you want?
Football fever cannot be said to hit NZ just yet, but the interest is just about visible in hte media with more mentions of coverage on the tv, and the analysis of teams appearing in the “Dom Post” today. The innane coverage of the UK it is not. I did manage to watch the live coverage of Wayne Rooney’s plane landing in Manchester as he was being ferried for his “scan”. Remarkable!
I am not sure we are missing out by not having a minute by minute update of his osteoblast activity.
However, I think when the action starts it will not be quite the same. I am sure a shout at the TV will still work from this distance.
Rugby this weekend also. Off to Hamilton to watch All Blacks play Ireland. nice seven hour drive. Does not look far on the map but no motorways around here. Looking forward to the action, and Joe very excited. He has to miss his own game tomorrow because of the journey. Ireland have a chance as NZ spreading resources with so many games coming up.
So “Go Ireland” “Go England”!
Could do with a few weeks off work just to watch the telly.
