It's Round 4 of this epic #2014rugbychampionship between #NZallblacks (Home of the All Blacks, the Maori culture/tribe such as the Haka & Middle Earth, where the Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit was filmed here directed by none other than Sir Peter Jackson) & the beasts of the Republic, #southafrica (Home of the late 1st black President Nelson Mandela (Who was behind bars at Robben Island during the Apartheid era before being released & ran for Presidency successfully), the Braai & of course the Vuvuzela instrument which made an impact during the 2010 FIFA World Cup) for the last Aotearoa test of 2014 at the Cake Tin of Westpac Stadium in the nation's capital: the windy city of Wellington from McLean Park where New Zealand proved too strong & powerful to defeat the argy-bargies 28 - 9 (With such good tries from Julian ''Big Bus'' Savea who got it twice including a try from outta nowhere during the 1st half, Liam Messam (Scored, but however...ended up on the recieving end of a self-inflicted All Black injury crisis, joining the likes of Sam Whitelock) & that lil' halfback, Aaron Smith).
The starting lineup was revealed for the All Blacks as Steven Luatua has slotted in at blindside flanker to replace the injured Liam Messam to join the openside flanker/number 8 pair of Captain @rhmccaw & @kieranread, then Jeremy Thrush comes in for Sam Whitelock who is out due to a rib issue so Patrick Tuipulotu starts from the bench along with Cory Jane who replaces Malakai Fekitoa, & South Africa will use an unchanged lineup except for the brand new, young 20 year old up & coming but raw talented player & rising star of Handre Pollard, who makes way for Morne Steyn as he makes his return to New Zealand again because his 1st foray to NZ was representing his country in the Junior World Championships in which his team go down to England in the final as well as the SA team captain @jeandevilliers, who will celebrate his 100th test match joining the likes of 2007 RWC winning captain John Smit & player Percy Montgomery + veterans @victormatfield & @bryanhabana (Who got yellow carded for that high tackle allowing the Wallabies to open the door for victory over in Perth at the expense of a late comeback from a try by Rob Horne & that successful, match winning conversion by Bernard Foley, meaning that the AB's now go on top of the Rugby Championship standings and I mean, how would Dad have to back the Wallabies to defeat South Africa, get real because I think I label my dear father as a traitor, nuff said).
And finally in this report, Argentina, fresh from the defeat at Napier, will take on the @michaelhooper led Wallabies over on the Gold Coast at Cbus Super Stadium (Once known as Skilled Park) as they seek their 1st victory of the Rugby Championship after numerous defeats + a draw in 2012.
And that is it, I will see you next time, fingers crossed this weekend on Saturday, ready your breakfast & eat hearty, for tonight, we dine...in HELL!
P.S. Went to that Heartland Rugby game sponsored by Pink Batts last Saturday, 1st win of the new season, knocking over traditional rivals North Otago by holding on to a comprehensive 20 to 15 victory & today, we went to that restaurant thing called La Strada and it was a good meal that I had such as spaghetti with meatballs & that gelato for dessert so it was a perfect 10 for me & it rocked hard before we played cricket, had a game of both cards & checkers as well as I really did enjoy Nan's 68th birthday celebrations last night but my main highlight would be the starters, the cheese course & the dessert that we have + Uncle Bryan Christie has totally agreed to compete for Great Britain (But I don't really know that Bryan is of English & Scottish descent but he is clearly Scottish but we are of course indeed of English & Scottish descent) in that possible TBO World Cup joining the likes of New Zealand (Which is me, I am the star, I am Whetu) & Denmark (Competing for that country is the great Danish Terminator of Hanne Benbaruk) + Noel Leeming has been given the extreme makeover due to the rebranding since the Warehouse acquired Noel Leeming 2 years ago (Although in February/March last year, Bond & Bond had to close it's doors due to the merger with Noel Leeming, much more like Telecom became Spark, Telstraclear became Vodafone, the National Bank became ANZ & Shell became Z) not only because I think I'm a fan of Noel Leeming, a fanatic, but of course, I feel a bit nostalgic like the Trafalgar Square shopping centre which features the Warehouse, Countdown & EB Games (Formerly the Gamesman) because there was once a Kmart store before it became the Warehouse & once a Noel Leeming store before it moved to Victoria Avenue right next to both KFC & Harvey Norman.
