Rugby World Cup 2011 - New Zealand

[Jimbob]

With the Queensland Reds defeating the Crews adders in the super final there is hope for Da Walllies. Of course they'll have to walk on water to get to the final in the 'Land of the wrong white crowd".

Let's see how the Wabblies go in the Tri-Nations - probably a more telling test, although I read SA are resting a lot of players going into the series.

I'm starting to get the jitters re: my team already THE BLACKNESS; their first round they play their old nemesis France, grrrrrr. Australia have the easiest pool by far so they should cruise through.

With just under 3 weeks to go, it seems the ''Blackness'' are pulling out all the stops......

All Black fans reject sex ban for Rugby World Cup

''New Zealand rugby fans have overwhelmingly rejected a campaign urging them to give up sex as a way of supporting the All Blacks during this year’s Rugby World Cup.

Telecom Corp., a team sponsor, planned to launch an advertising campaign calling on fans to "Abstain for the All Blacks" next week to generate publicity ahead of the September-October tournament, the New Zealand Herald reported.

It said fans would be given black rubber rings to wear ( ) to show they were supporting the abstinence campaign, which will be fronted by former All Blacks captain Sean Fitzpatrick.''

I would have thought anything to do with Black Rubber would defeat the object......

Anyways..... come on guys - get involved and join the HHAD Pool (currently standing at 8 Players)!

Did you know that since its inception the same whistle has been used for every opening match of the world cup. (Who wants to be a millionair 20/8/2011)
Any more interesting facts?
