I gotta say, the game tonight was really average. I expected a lot more from the French than what they really put in: only 3 penalty kicks that got them 1 point ahead of the Welsh. I do admire their persistence and their aloofness, but at the end of the day, you're here to play balls. Another thing that was really frustrating to watch was the amount of kicking in the game. I don't really know much about rugby but I do know I like passes and tackles a lot more than just pure kicking.

Anyways, the biggest disappointment of the game was the red card on Sam Warburton, captain of the Welsh team. All because of the tackle (on the right) that you would have missed in a blink of an eye. I honestly think Sam deserved more than just 15 minutes of the semi-final game with his team. It was just such a disappointment and you can almost hear the shock in the stadium.
So there we go, France advanced to the World Cup final with a narrow 9-8 win at Eden Park here on Saturday over a Wales team reduced to 14 men after the sending off of captain Sam Warburton with 60 minutes of the game left.
I'm really hoping to see New Zealand front up to France again in the Finals provided they beat the Wallabies tomorrow night at 9. I'm extremely anticipating the upcoming game and hope it will be much more exciting because of SONNY BILL WILLAMS and JAMES O'CONNOR! So long friends I got to sleep early tonight as I am spending my entire day in city tomorrow cheering on the All Blacks. I will be Paddling in Black at the marina close to the Cloud in the morning with our team of paddlers so watch out for us!
