The All Blacks road to the 2015 Rugby World Cup begins with a test against Samoa in Apia and won comprehensively 25 - 16 just days after the Super Rugby final when the Highlanders became the eighth team to win a Super Rugby title, beating my beloved Hurricanes that I was so disappointed, 21 - 14 (Including that game winning drop goal scored by Highlanders first five Marty Banks which proved to be the turning point).
And yes I was at Uncle Bryan's watching the Samoa - All Blacks test there so in all of a sudden, Nan and Pops took me there to watch the game and after the game, we went and had dinner at Breakers Café and Bar where I had a burrito there but 1 week later, I returned but this time I had the monster burger before our quiz started and I did enjoy that experience, then the next morning, Jansen and I went to the splash center before we were going to kebabholik but it was closed so we went to Jabies Doner Kebab instead for lunch and I also did enjoy that experience but the rest is history here and now.
And the next morning, I made 4 meals in all of a sudden such as pumpkin soup, curry, pasta/stir fry combination and a bacon and egg pie.
And then, the rugby was on as the All Blacks comfortably beat Argentina 39 - 18 in the Rugby Championship opener with Waisake Naholo and Codie Taylor (Who scored on debut + other try scorers including captain Richie McCaw, veteran Ma'a Nonu, experienced number 8 Kieran Read and winger Charles Piutau) making their test debuts but unfortunately for Naholo as he picked up a broken leg, ruling him out of the World Cup.
And then a week later (On Thursday I had scotch eggs with salad for a memorable lunch at Nan & Pops), the All Blacks faced the Springboks at Ellis Park (Making their test debuts for the All Blacks are James Broadhurst & Lima Sopoaga (Sopoaga's test debut was quite memorable) in which they won comfortably 27 - 20 (With tries scored by Ben Smith, Dane Coles & Richie McCaw who provided the match winner) but I had to switch off after the 70th minute because I was worried we were going to lose this game but no, we instead won with All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw scoring an all important match winning try (Which I thought that it was an illegal manuever).
So tonight's dinner will be pasta made yesterday by myself.
