Great night for New Zealand rugby and league...

the crowd waiting for the game to begin (Flickr)Image via WikipediaWhat a great weekend for Kiwi sports fans - great wins for the All Blacks against Scotland, after a scratchy win against England and that rusty incompetent loss to the Australian Wallabies. The latter getting their arse kicked by England last night.
 And the Kiwis beating the Australian Kangaroos in the league four Nations final at Suncorp stadium in Brisbane
.
The kiwis have now won three tournaments in the last five years.
However the Wellington  Phoenix soccer team in the Aussie A team competition, (notice I said soccer because that is the real name for their code - Association Football, abbreviated to "soccer". At least the Americans are spot on and haven't fallen for that "football" crap. Couple of more games for the AB's and another Grand Slam against the so-called home unions
.
What to you think of  SBW? Sonny Bill Williams the former NRL  rugby league and Kiwis test player. He's learning the art of the more complicated rugby union code - and making a good fist of it too. Player of the day last night!
