Last night, it was the 19th of September, 2012 (A month has passed since the London Olympics ended), at The Cloud in Auckland when Valerie Adams had recieved the gold medal in the women's Olympic Shot Put (Which I already mentioned that Nadzeya Ostapchuk of Belarus, DQ'ed for a drug testing failure from last month before other athletes apart from Adams got the Silver & Bronze awarded by a Russian athlete, Evgenia Kolodko & another competitor from China, Lijao Gong, respectively) from His Excellency, the Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae before the national anthem is being played. And those attended the gold medal ceremony are fellow Olympic gold medalists Mahe Drysdale (Men's single sculls rowing), the dynamic duo of Bond & Murray (Men's rowing pair), Lisa Carrington (Women's K-1 200 metres kayak), Team Jolly (the women's 470 class sailing duo of Jo Aleh & Olivia Powrie), Joseph Sullivan (One half of the Men's double sculls rowing with Nathan Cohen) & other fellow olympic medalists like Sarah Walker who got silver in the women's BMX cycling.
Then rewind to the All Blacks - Springboks encounter at Forsyth Barr Stadium (Which is offically opened for business last year, but it is the 1st time that the AB's have played at a new venue which is a year & a month old now), so let's see how the match was analyzed:
17th minute: Morne Steyn puts the Sprongboks a 3 - 0 lead.
Nek minute (5 - 3): Israel Dagg scores!!! But Aaron Cruden not able to add the something extras (And New Zealand have now scored an 103rd straight try in the match).
40th minute (1st half): Half time is signalled when Morne Steyn misses the penalty after being awarded the penalty when an touch judge did see an infringement by Tony Woodcock at the lineout.
40th minute (2nd half): And 2nd half is about to start.
47th minute (5 - 8): And Bryan Habana crosses the corner for an outstanding try (His 43rd of his career) with explosive speed & skill efforts but the woes continue for Morne Steyn as the conversion attempts slips wide off the posts.
51st minute (8 - 8): Cruden has no problem from the kicking tee to level the scores.
59th minute (13 - 8): Replacement scrum-half Aaron Smith spots a gap and gets past through the defence to touch down for a try.
Nek Minute (15 - 8): And finally, Cruden adds the something extras to give the AB's some more breathing room.
63rd Minute: Uh-oh! Touch Judge has saw something when the Springboks replacement prop Dean Greyling has been yellow carded for 10 minutes after delivering a cheap shot to the victim, AB's captain Richie McCaw with a forearm to the opponent's face according to the replay (And I wonder that Greyling should be New Zealand's public enemy No.2 behind numero uno: Wallaby fly-half Quade Cooper) but Aaron Cruden's penalty attempt went wide as New Zealand still lead 15 to 8.
69th Minute (15 - 11): Johan Goosen did have a great penalty by bringing South Africa back in range after a long-range effort also falls short of the posts.
74th Minute (18 - 11): Cruden critical edges NZ nearer victory with just his 2nd victory
80th Minute (21 - 11): Aaron Cruden sets the seal on the AB's victory (Although the AB's have seriously denied South Africa a bonus point) with another penalty after having one last go at the posts when they awarded another penalty as the hooter sounds after the All Blacks power forward when Cruden's penalty kick hits the upright & bounces back into play after Springbok Andries Bekker was penalised for not releasing at the breakdown but the AB's won't take the game deep into the Boks' half.
And finally, the Pumas of Argentina almost won as they were leading 19 - 6 after a Juan Martin Hernandez penalty goal, the Wallabies, were 13 points down, are starting to make a comeback trail thanks to 2 tries scored by Pat McCabe & Digby Ioane and Berrick Barnes taking both conversions to lead 20 - 19 before they awarded a penalty with who will decide to change the goal kicker after Berrick Barnes came off the field in the 70th, whether it's Cooper or Kurtley Beale? And Kurtley Beale was chosen to take the penalty shot at goal and he did, denying Argentina an iron maiden win in the Rugby Championship with the Wallabies secured just their 2nd win of the Championship.

Untitled Blog
Last week on Friday (The day after the A-League franchise Sydney FC had signed a 37 year old Italian Football Superstar, Alessandro Del Piero for a contract worth 2 years which cost about $5,000,000 + Del Piero confirmed to debut for his new club when they hit New Zealand to take on the Wellington Phoenix in the season opener of the A-League), where me & Dad did go to Trafalgar Square to look at both EB Games & The Warehouse (Motto: Where everyone get's a bargain) + had Macca's for breakfast for the 3rd time (Had hunger buster menu & had hotcakes when we got home because I have not tried these McDonald's hotcakes for like several years ago), then Nan & Pops picked me up to go to the Brick House 1st when I had chicken curry and dessert was chocolate cheesecake (The cheesecake is my personal fav dessert) before heading to UCOL to catch up for a cooking class (Gina Wagstaffe was here along with the Chinese students) and we were making custard tarts (Which tasted like it wasn't bad) then 1 day later, went to the Astral Chaos: Cooks Gardens (The CG) for another Heartland Rugby Championship game which the current Meads Cup champions Wanganui won 42 - 3 (+ We got the bonus point) against the reigning Lochore Cup champions Poverty Bay with tries scored by Vaan Rauhina (Who got 2), Andrew Retallick, Asalemo 'Ace' Malo & newcomer Saul Chase with Mark Davis got all the conversions but the match was like at the 25th minute that downpour had came through the playing field (Making it difficult to play such as handling the ball would cause a handling error like that), and after our victory in the Heartland Championship, we went home to wait for the All Blacks to play Argentina but a few hours later it was on before the national anthems was played and the traditional All Blacks Maori haka was performed and after that, the matched kicked off minutes before Cruden struck the AB's 1st with a penalty, putting them 3 points to nothing until when the big veteran Argentine prop of Rodrigo Roncero scored the 1st try of the match but the conversion was hit between the posts until Argentina was penalised allowing Aaron Cruden to hit back the lead (6 - 5) before halftime, and after halftime, both teams are eager to prepare for the 2nd half, nek minute, there was a blackout (Or should I say, power outage), causing the Cake Tin to switch the floodlights off because it was failed before it was fully restored 15 minutes ago and the lights are indeed back to full strength before play resumes with the 2nd half when Ma'a Nonu gets the All Blacks up to speed, support from Kieran Read but absolutely smashed/pummeled from JM (Juan Martin) Hernandez on Conrad Smith brings an abrupt end to the manouver so let's see how the match unfolds:
51st minute: Cruden edges the All Blacks further ahead with the first points of the second half after in the 49th minute that los Pumas was penalised at the breakdown and Cruden did have the chance to give his side some more breathing room.
58th minute: New Zealand have the penalty after a quick tap from Aaron Smith when the ball is spun wide before the ball is deliberately knocked down by Julio Farias surely stopping a try when Farias is shown yellow by the referee of that game, Romain Poite of France (Poite also recieved a yellow card to that Irish player, Rob Kearney when Ireland suffered a 60 - 0 heavy defeat against the AB's in June way back) so Aaron Cruden went for the 3 pointer but uh-oh! He missed after Cruden manages to hit both posts with the penalty kick before it bounces back into play but frantic passage of play.
67th minute: The All Blacks score the 1st try of the 2nd half when Conrad Smith and Nonu combine to create the opening for Julian Savea to score in the corner but Cruden's wide with the conversion attempt.
72nd minute: Another try was scored by NZ after a set play from the scrum and Cory Jane is the beneficiary out wide, but in the 73rd minute, Cruden has managed to nail the extras
74th minute: There is a new All Black prop when Charlie Faumuina became the 1,116th All Black by replacing Owen Franks for the remainder of the match when New Zealand cruised to victory with a score of 21 - 5 moments before Australia tasted it's 1st victory of the new Rugby Championship beating South Africa in a tight game 26 - 19 with prop Ben Alexander scoring the match winner in the 68th minute and of course, center Berrick Barnes successfully adding the conversion to add 2 extra points on offer.
And on Monday, went back here to the Citadel of San Raphael (15A Kells Avenue) for dinner/dessert as part of Nan's birthday celebrations (for dinner was roast lamb with roast kumara wedges and plum tabbouleh & for dessert was hot lava cakes with chocolate eclair ice-cream as well as chocolate cheescakes that Dad bought and we did have an apero before dinner is served (I had cucumber dip with peanuts, crackers & creaming soda for drinks) as well as watching the news that Mitch Evans (Labelled the new 'Scott Dixon' and mentor of Australian F1 race car driver Mark Webber) has won the GP3 Series title (And after winning the GP3 title, Evans will next year compete in GP2).
1 Day later on the 11th anniversary of September 11th, 2011, The All Whites played against the Solomon Islands (Which has got Benjamin Totori who was already signed on with the A-League franchise, the Wellington Phoenix after being impressed by the Phoenix/All Whites coach, Ricki Herbert) in the 2014 FIFA World Cup OFC Qualifier 3rd round and we did beat them by 6 goals to 1 at North Harbour Stadium (The goalscorers were: Shane Smeltz, Kosta Barbarouses, Chris Killen, Tony Lochhead, Chris Wood & Marco Rojas).
Yesterday, Me & my father went back to Trafalgar Square once again since last Friday & bought a new game for the PS3 (Playstation 3) but the game was never released until today (Well, Dad now has got the game and I cannot wait for this until I get back) before having McDonald's for lunch and we wen't home and had steak schintzel, eggs & onions for dinner last night.
And now today, I have got to finish my 11th blog for today after going swimming, did the vaccuming outside (Watered the vegetable plants), reading listeners and having lunch (Leftover chow mein with canned tomatoes & toast) & afternoon tea (Chai tea & the last of the ginger crunch) before dinner time (We are having Caesar salad and dessert is custard tarts, rhubarb & cream).
P.S. (BREAKING NEWS REPORT): Piri Weepu confirmed to start (Along with Andrew Hore (For Mealamu), Sam Whitelock (Retallick) & Liam Messam (Vito) with Tamati Ellison in the reserves/bench) as once again the 1st choice half-back after Aaron Smith reportedly broke the team's rules & regulations thus ending the All Black half-back debacle (The debacle began after the events of the AB's RWC 2011 victory when Piri Weepu was seriously overweight at Christmas time before the start of the new Super Rugby season, and when he discovered that he was unfit due to being plagued his weight problems, his All Black chances had gone up in smoke due to his poor form (The Blues had recorded losses) when Steve Hansen, the coach, had decided to pick newcomer Aaron Smith as the new 1st choice All Black half-back, displacing Weepu to 2nd choice but after the All Blacks - Pumas game, A reversal had been made with Smith broke a team-imposed curfew, allowing Weepu to start for the upcoming Rugby Championship match against the Springboks (With new lock, Eben Etzebeth suspended for a head-butt on Wallaby lock, Nathan Sharpe (Now filling in as Wallabies skipper following injuries to Will Genia (Who was the stand-in skipper for the injured David Pocock, but was now recently injured in a match after damaging his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) & Pocock (Injured when we beat them in Sydney) for James Horwill (Ruled out due to a season ending injury) & once again, becoming the 1st choice half-back for the 1st time since the Rugby World Cup when Weepu 1st became 1st choice half-back following Dan Carter's famous groin injury which ruled him out of the tournament + It will be next week when Valerie Adams (Originally a silver medalist in the women's shot put when Nadzeya Ostapchuk got the gold but got DQ'ed for a positive test which was a drug testing failure which caused Ostapchuk to be stripped of her gold medal by ending her Olympics campaign in disgrace) will recieve her gold medal next week in Auckland presented by His Excellency, The NZ Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae (Those will be attending at the ceremony are fellow Olympic gold medalists Mahe Drysdale, Hamish Bond, Eric Murray, Jo Aleh & Olivia Powrie).
51st minute: Cruden edges the All Blacks further ahead with the first points of the second half after in the 49th minute that los Pumas was penalised at the breakdown and Cruden did have the chance to give his side some more breathing room.
58th minute: New Zealand have the penalty after a quick tap from Aaron Smith when the ball is spun wide before the ball is deliberately knocked down by Julio Farias surely stopping a try when Farias is shown yellow by the referee of that game, Romain Poite of France (Poite also recieved a yellow card to that Irish player, Rob Kearney when Ireland suffered a 60 - 0 heavy defeat against the AB's in June way back) so Aaron Cruden went for the 3 pointer but uh-oh!

The Blog No.XX: Pandora's Box (Enter The Sandman)
After our dinner & dessert from last week, it was time to go home for me but a day later, went to Corinna's place @ Harrison Street dubbed 'The Triangle' for my father to pick up da boys until tomorrow B4 having dinner but last week on Saturday, got up B4 shower and got ready before heading over to see da 'Butchers Boys' of Steelform Wanganui play at the 'Astral Chaos' of Cooks Gardens (CG for short), then got an all American Hot Dog when da match started several minutes B4 Horowhenua Kapiti gave us the lead at halftime by 10 points to 8 after the opposing team scored 2 runaway tries courtesy of lamentable Wanganui errors but it could have been more because the Horowhenua forwards had easily the better of proceedings, except in the lineout where 97 game veteran Keith Milligan could not get the ball straight B4 Wanganui started much better in the 2nd half with a penalty by Mark Davis and a brilliant try by Davis this time, again off a 70 metre break by Wanganui's exciting newcomer, Saul Chase, then that gave the home side an 18-10 buffer, and Davis added to that with a 20 minute penalty, but only the pace of local wing Simon Dibben stopped another individualistic try for Horowhenua when replacement wing Mike Tambour intercepted that would have bought it to within a point with just 11 minutes on the clock & the score was boosted with a Chase try in the final minute after fine work by himself and replacement wing Nic Harding but really good moments from Wanganui were few and far between, but nek minute (in the end), Wanganui eventually won 28-10, but the score was hugely flattering to a home side which lacked enthusiasm, was clearly not mentally on its game and therefore made far too many errors (And I mean, it was a great Heartland Rugby Championship vittoria for us by butchering Horowhenua Kapiti at the 'Astral Chaos' Cooks Gardens).
And then on Sunday, watched the motorsport called the V8 SuperTourers on TV3 because the 1st of the 3rd endurance round (The next round is at the Pukekohe Park Raceway (Traditional home of touring car racing) then the finale is being held at Christchurch's Powerbuilt Tools Raceway @ Ruapuna Park) was held @ the Ricoh Motorsport Park over in Taupo (The circuit that used to host A1GP World Cup of Motorsport) but great to see the cars racing because I enjoyed it before having roast chicken for dinner (Race 1 went to Australian Jack Perkins (Son of racing great Larry Perkins) & the young Kiwi Nick Cassidy (reigning Toyota Racing Series champion + injury replacement for Greg Murphy (AKA Murph) who had already just injured his back from a V8 Supercar event (The Clipsal 500) in the streets of Adelaide (Former F1 track that was held in the past) earlier this year) B4 another young Kiwi Scott McLaughlin (The 19 year old teen sensation born in 'the Tron' (Hamilton, New Zealand) but based in 'the GC' (Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia) is currently competing in the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series) & V8 Supercar driver Jonathan Webb took out the honours by winning Race 2 & the Ashley Stichbury Memorial Trophy with pole position in both qualifying sessions and 1st and 2nd places finished in the two races + there was 2 international but European drivers competing, one is former F1 driver Christian Klien of Austria & the other is former A1GP driver & Porsche Supercup champion Jeroen Bleekemolen of The Netherlands).
Then on Monday & Tuesday, watched movies like Ninja Assassini & The 40 Year Old Virgin and had a incredible dinner last night because not only we had wedges covered in cheese but with both bacon & onion so I was so full because I ate before I had dinner and after dinner, I had a rest at 6:00pm before going straight to sleep at like between 9:30pm, then next morning, had weet-bix for brekkie, headed straight for a swim that kept me refreshing, went to Pak 'N' Save (Our policy: NZ's lowest food prices) to get the stuff for tonight's food, went back here at the Ancient Citadel of San Raphael (Formerly the motel resort of Nan & Pops) by doing some uh.....by focusing on working by clearing the leaves out like I did last week and put the water over the veggie plant and read that newspaper & the all new incredible book by Sir Graham 'Ted' Henry about being a rugby coach (Where you have failures on their 1st attempts to the successful tournament campaigns like here & now) which is like becoming an up and coming heavy metal rockstar musician/rocker (I vas impressed about zat book because i don't vish to feel bad about it and I could not have prevailed), but then, we had lunch like we had silverbeet, eggs & feta cheese B4 dried dishes & so here I am, doing this blog before having afternoon tea and having dinner with Dad & da boys tonight to end my XXth blog of today (But I will possibly be coming with you guys to UCOL tomorrow with Gina Wagstaffe cooking something like custard tarts with the Chinese students + there is rugby on the weekend, back at Astral Chaos where Wanganui play against Poverty Bay, the same day that the All Blacks host Argentina at night over at the 'Cake Tin' of Westpac Stadium in the windy capitale city of Wellington or likewise/pennywise, Welly/Wellywood).
P.S. (ATTENCION, ATTENCION, SPOILER ALERT NUMERO DOS, COMING UP BUT LISTEN UP, DO YOU MIND?!!!): The AB's reveal their starting lineup against da Pumas of Argentina (Coached by Santiago Phelan but the RWC Champion coach Sir Graham ''Ted'' Henry is helping their Los Pumas team on Saturday night), with returning loosie Tony ''Woody'' Woodcock back from injury replacing Wyatt Crockett & partnering with Keven ''Kevie'' Mealamu (Hooker) & fellow prop Owen Franks (Plays at the tighthead position) then Samuel ''Sam'' Whitelock is gone to the bench, allowing the incomparable 2.04m giant lock Brodie Retallick partnering Luke Romano as well as Victor Vito making way for Liam Messam in the starting lineup then Julian Savea (Who hasn't played a test since the AB's almost got beaten against Ireland), effectively taking over from Hosea Gear and partnering fellow Hurricane/Lions player Cory Jane in the wing as well as the very, deceptive, Conrad Smith back from an eye surgery taking over the 13 jersey with Ma'a Nonu the 12 thanks to SBW's departure/exit from the All Blacks + Charlie Faumuina, announced on the bench after a false start in June, missing all 3 AB's tests with Ireland and BREAKING NEWS: Daniel ''Dan'' Carter unable to play due to a calf strain injury with Aaron Cruden confirmed to start as well as Beauden Barrett (playing Taranaki ITM Cup Team), called up to replace the injured Carter is also on the reserves with Andrew Hore, Faumuina, Whitelock, Messam, Piri Weepu & Ben Smith (And the referee for that match is Romain Poite of France (Also refereed the AB's - Ireland Final Test in the 'Tron' of Hamilton).
