Still Singing the Song!!!

Still on the post-RWC New Zealand win high, as the rest of the world seems to be too.  Even yesterday it was still in the Hong Kong newspapers, although no longer on the front page.

No, seriously, the All Blacks win made front page of Chinese newspapers!  Let me show you Monday's SCMP!

 Front page.  How cool is that?

Also got sent this!

LOVE? And I just love that the announcer says "This is trenchant war" because that's precisely what it felt like. Seriously, it wasn't until 10 seconds before the game ended - in a mad tangle of bodies at the edge of the field as NZ tried to place the ball out while the fighting scrum of Frenchies fought to keep it in - that the pressure let go and we all permitted ourselves the luxury of thinking "We might very well win this?" as it was never a sure thing until that point.  And see the ten second countdown from those fans in the clip!  Oh man, Keith and I did that, right there, surrounded by the French, in Trafalgia! Couldn't help ourselves!

And everyone is now asking "Where did the French dig that up from?" because, apart from Big Fat Smarty Pants Keith, no one expected the French to put up such a fight and, as the French coach said, "to make the Kiwis' tremble" in such a hard won battle. Truly, the phrase 'trenchant warfare' is not hyperbole.

And I don't believe I'm saying this, but Kudos France!
