Wallabees vs The All Blacks

So we had some free beer vouchers for this place called "The Pig and Whistle". I figured that they thought giving some free beer vouchers to the backpackers at the hostel would be a good way to make some dough, cause most people don't stop with just one beer. They buy more. BUT me and my new Canadian friend had some "extra" beer vouchers from others who didn't want to go. And wouldn't you know it? The New Zealanders were playing the Australians in a big rugby match that night. It was a good time to be out watching the game, not to mention finally somewhere warm!
Though these people know nothing about heat conservation, they use space heaters and the bouncers leave the bloody doors open for ten minutes while checking people's ID's! Get's freaking cold. Which is why i posted up right next to the space heater, pretty sure my jeans have some scorch marks, but it's totally worth it.
Also good to have some company. The Canadian ( i don't know his name, i'm not sure if we ever introduced ourselves lol) was in his early 60's just visiting a step daughter and doing some traveling on his own. A nice bloke, a lot of fun to talk to, he's had some interesting experiences and a very colorfull family. We had a few things in common, and to me, it seemed that i've learned a lot in a rather short time that took this man a number of years. So i've sorta got a head start.
Rugby! Oh man is that game cool or what? It's defenitly not for the faint of heart, there are even times when i watch it that i cringe! Hard hitting action, and no pads on those guys. Also, being stuffed in a bar like anchovies, with the cold outside, and the excitement inside, defenitly a good place to be. It was a lot of fun cheering on the All Blacks. And it was a heck of a close game as well. I'd explain it all to you, but hell, i barely know the major rules or rugby myself!
All Blacks where able to hold off the Wallabees with their strong defence, but it was a cliffhanger there for a while.
Walking back to the hostel was even better, the place clearing out pretty much all at once, the cold air hitting you full force in the face, but I was totally ready to get to bed, get up early and get down to Lake Topoa and do some fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!
