The All Blacks & their famous Haka

We're pretty excited -- Jake and I just bought some tickets to see the All Blacks, NZ's national rugby team, take on France next month right here in Wellington. I think they only play here twice a year, so it's pretty awesome we have tickets! Game is June 20, so I'm sure we'll have a full report then. In the meantime, you should check out the Haka, which is the awesome warrior dance the players perform before each match. Quite intimidating to the other team, I'm sure.



Also, we just landed some amazingly cheap airline tickets to Auckland for a weekend in November. And in this instance, amazingly cheap = $28 NZD for two return (Kiwi word for roundtrip) tickets including taxes. Folks, that's only about $15 USD!

Oh wow, that Haka will be a sight to behold for sure. The video of it is so cool, those boys look hell bent on being in-it-to-win-it. I almost feel sorry for the guys from France. Sounds like a very exciting game, glad you guys got tickets. Of course, you will keep your readers tuned in on the match. . .

You should see the Haka that Jeromy does before we jump on the raft at the float trip. It really scares the heck out of the locals.

That's awesome! I can't wait to hear about that match. It should be a very fierce matchup. France usually have a good squad. But I predict a Kiwi win of course.
