Last night, I had the pleasure of watching my beloved All Blacks put the Wallabies to the sword. 50-21 ... It was a bigger victory than I'd dared to hope for.
It was an awesome experience being there. It was "spine-tingling" singing the New Zealand National Anthem... and it was awesome hearing the roar as the Kiwi's ran out ... and as they scored.
We were virtually in the back row on the Western Side of the ground ... I couldn't quite believe how far from the field we were... how many steps we had to climb to get to our seats... But it is an impressive stadia, and an impressive athmosphere ... hearing the joyous Kiwi's break out in renditions of "Pokekere Ana" after the game is a memory I'll cherish...
But there's nothing more dangerous in sport than a wounded Australian. Australia has a knack of leaving its best for the back-to-wall-moments, which it is certainly in now... so we can't be too complacent for the return in Auckland.
