Rugby World Cup opening night

The long awaited 2011 Rugby World Cup opened in New Zealand last Friday. Many who didn't have tickets to the opening ceremony and first match (which New Zealand played against Tonga) went down to Auckland's waterfront where an amazing spectacle was put on! After the trains being too jam packed to even stop at the train station we were waiting at, we headed back home and watched it all on TV! Auckland's Waterfront before and during all the crowds
The arrival of the Maori wakas into the waterfront The Tongan Sipi Tau followed by the All Black's Haka And poor Sonny Bill Williams whose shirt unfortunately tore during the match and had to be replaced - and I think the main reason why Chantelle loves the All Blacks......

  1. There are definitely advantages to watching rugby besides the rugby! Enjoy the vibe and the spirit of the World Cup in your current country. Who are you supporting by the way?? SA or NZ?
