Made our way into Hamilton early and parked the van in the campsite that is to be our home tonight. Ended up sitting in the van for an hour waiting for the rain to ease off before setting off into town. Unfortunately the rain seemed to get worse once we got into town and we were a bit worried as our seats for the rugby game were in the uncovered section of the ground. Oh well my 20 minutes spent straightening my hair will all be in vain and the Adam Jones look will prevail again. Went to some bars before going over for the game, Nick only gave one interview on the way to the New Zealand national station (so we made it in good time). Our seats were not very good but Tasha had a cracking seat at the front and fortunately the two seats next to her were empty so we decided to upgrade ourselves! Spent a nerve wracking 80 minutes watching the game and then hit the bars to celebrate. A mini Eisteddfod was swiftly organised in the local Rugby Club by the fans with "Canu" and some "Dawnsio Gwerin" not sure if anyone won but a good time was had by all (I think!) This was followed by some rugby set pieces (some of which were almost as good as the welsh team performance today!) after the spilling of many drinks it was decided this was not a good plan!
