Mm.

We beat Kenya, & the Cook Islands. Then drew with Samoa to finish top of the group.

Then beat Argentina.

Then lost to Fiji in the semi-finals.

Fiji went on to win!

Rugbys really boring, I'm Maori so my Dad and all 9 of my brothers are interested in it, plus you know how Maori families are supposed to have a massive extended family? Well mine really takes the cake! All 10 of my uncles come round to our place, along with about 20 of their sons. Thats like 40 guys in the house. I hate it sooo much!

10 uncles!

10!?!?!?

Wow...

Well personally I hockey and I can sympathise with you that far.. we're generally treated like scum. It's alright in some cities when sport diversity is more common.

But rugby... well the "it's part of our culture" excuse only goes so far.

That's alot!!! WOW!!!

Well my family is pretty much Rugby crazy, but I just sorta blend into the background a bit!!! I mean, My parents yell at the TV, especially my Mum, and then my dad tells her not to yell at the TV and then he does it himself...hypocrite, haha!!

It's not professional though is it? The internationals? Out of interest?

I don't think.

They've all got jobs. I'm pretty sure it's not.
