Well, first off I would just like to say that New Zealand won the Rugby World Cup. Which, I'm surprisingly happy about. I'm usually not the kind of person who gets into sports but it was just amazing to see my country win... not that I watched the final game (I shamefully admit that I was watching anime in the other room when it happened) but I heard that it was really good. The only game I really watched was the one where we beat Australia, if only because it was the one where we faced Australia. But I am really proud of my country for winning. I'm not sure why, probably because of this whole "nation pride" thing that none of us are used to feeling. New Zealand isn't a very patriotic country, the only thing that really brings us together as a country is sports. I guess that the whole country coming together for this is really nice, especially after the Christchurch earthquake which practically tore the city apart.
Also, I've learned that everyone in my country in a really poor sport. After every game that our team won, the opposing team and their supporters would have abuse hurled at them, especially Australia (even when we weren't playing them). Like after their loss to Ireland (way to go Adam), they would get constant flaming from the New Zealand supporters on Facebook and Twitter. And unfortunately I believe that I may have inherited this poor sportsmanship as well so just bear with me a little...
So even though Canada, the USA and Ireland all lost.
New Zealand still won.
Have an awesome week guys
DFTBA
