All Blacks 39 Wallabies 10

I havent been enjoying work lately, our heating at home packed up and we were cold and after the All Blacks loss last weekend was dreading the replay at Eden Park yesterday - it was getting to be a bit like the Americas Cup where all the Kiwi sailors joined the Swiss team and came back and took it from us. And now it was starting to look like the Wallabies were going to do the same now they had a Kiwi coach. And speaking of boats.... I was looking forward to the annual Sydney Boat Show which was where we went yesterday morning. Didn't buy anything but got lots of ideas and advice from the experts up there about everything from pumps to anchors, EPIRBS and Life Rafts. And then we hunted around for a Pub so we could have some dinner and watch the Game live. Its weird being in an Australian pub watching All Blacks and Wallabies play because everyone except me cheers whenever the Wallabies make a move - and when I'm feeling sick - and when I want to cheer for the All Blacks the Wallabies supporters are usually deathly silent. I usually just cheer quietly to myself and then punch the air with a clenched fist when we score. After two close defeats in a row it was great to see the AB's hammering the Wallabies again.This is what the NZ Heralds columnist wrote about it :

If ever anyone needed reminding that rugby is a simple business, they got it last night. The All Blacks went back to basics, took care of the core skills, played the game in Australia's half and levelled the series.
They did much more than that, though. The All Blacks administered an old style belting - the kind where the receiver feels the humiliation more than the pain.
They restored some pride, showed there is a depth of emotion with regard to what the jersey means, and that Robbie Deans, for all his ability and tactical knowledge, can't work any magic when faced with the fury of an All Black side wanting revenge.

So the week ended well.
