If I had the power to make one wish for you, I would find it very hard to decide what gift to give - what gift would help you to happiness? Beauty is dangerous, wisdom must be earned, love is of your own choosing. But in the end, I am cetain I would choose the best gift of all - and that is courage.

Ruggers Tonight

I'm off to freeze my butt off at the rugby tonight. Projected low of 4 degrees Celsius. Damn near close to freezing! But at least I get to eat hotdogs and chips. Yippee! The only place I'll eat a hotdog is at a rugby game. Something makes them taste so much better there.

Anyhoo, it's the start of the NPC (National Provincial Championship) tonight where 20 provincial teams based around the North and South islands slug it out over a 10 or 12 week period to try and win a shiny piece of silver - the Air New Zealand Cup. See, as I said below, we're a nation of fanatics.

Tonight, the team I support, the Magpies are playing the mighty Canterbury team and I suspect we will get our butts whipped. In fact, it's not really a suspicion at all, it's almost a certainty. Canterbury are at the top of the table and have a team loaded with ex All Black players, while we have only just got ourselves back into the first division and I think might have two or three ex AB's. Not much of a contest really.

However, no matter whether they win or lose, it's all about the "experience" and getting out there and cheering them on (oh, and the hotdogs and chips, of course). So I shall rug myself up, wear my boots, two pairs of socks, my black and white scarf and have a great time!

(Look Mummy - I did linky things - I think)

I dated a rugby player whilst in college and he gave me the neatest T!
