We did it! Well the team did – Phew! I think the AB’s man card was riding on that game. Close call but the AB’s held their own.
I was in the Deloitte lounge, thankfully, as it was absolutely chucking it down out there. Wellington had turned on its best weather again. The Haka isn’t the same up there though, you miss the whole experience.
It was interesting listening to everyone going on every time that the ball was dropped. Such and such is a waste of space. I bet if they were out there in the rain and wind they’d be even worse. Armchair coaches and players…
We bumped in to Wayne and Jimmy at half time and decided to have a drink with them in their hotel afterwards. The same hotel that the french were staying at so it was a merry old time with the supporters club – who were in very good form.
Needless to say it was an earlish night for me and a late one for the boys. Town was surprisinly empty – maybe that Wellington weather had something to do with it. We had trouble giving away tickets for the game for free.
