Haka

I debated on what to title today's pic:

Antipodean Anticlimax
Crushed Kiwis
Haka-ed Off
Blacked Out ??

I went with Carole and Rhys to Old Trafford to watch the final of the rugby world cup between Australia and New Zealand. Virtually the whole place was behind the All Blacks but they couldn't rise to the occasion, the Aussies walked all over them. After Australia's recent bad sportsmanship, especially in the cricket, it wasn't surprising to hear them booed.

As the Aussies kept scoring there was an indifference throughout the stadium, this was highlighted when there was a pitch invasion and the man was tackled by security and received the loudest cheer of the afternoon.

It was a great afternoon but a shame New Zealand didn't win.
