Chris,
"drumming up support against England"? Sorry, in a way I guess I was,
without wanting to get OTT about it. Due to a touch of jealously, due to
your greater success in the Cup. Exactly the feelings occur, when The
All Blacks, or Wellington play other teams. After all, when 2 teams play
against each other, it's advisable to choose a side to support. The
alternative of sitting on a white picket fence, brings tears to my eyes.
Still it's only a game. And we'll both get a chance to get revenge in
2011. Any chance of a fly by?
I didn't watch much, only the highlites on the news. Ignoring sport as
per usual. For me, life is way to short to waste on sport watching.
