Celebrating 'nearly' beating the 'All Blacks'

Celebrating 'nearly' beating the all blacks
Originally uploaded by Stuart Davies.

Yesterday England played New Zealand, and lost. That simple discription just doesnt cover the blistering nature of the drama this game gave. When you compare it to last week end against Australia it was a victory of sorts. England played like a team for the first time in ages and despite a few stupid handling errors gave the All Blacks some serious competition (something they didnt get last week against Ireland).

A better discription of the game can be found either at the Guardian or the New Zealand Herald.

End result we retired happy but dejected to a smaller venue. The emptyness is testament to the problem of being a union fan in the birth place of league.
