World (Rugby) Cup
Lovely story in Column 8 (Sydney Morning Herald) on Wednesday:
World Cup for Dummies. Rebekah Ward, of Upper Hutt, NZ, is the four-year-old granddaughter of Mary-Helen Ward, of Leichhardt. She was introduced to the delights of televised rugby via Saturday's first All Blacks game, Mary-Helen says. "After the first 10 minutes of careful watching she commented, 'I think those people are going to get in trouble soon; they keep beating each other up.' After about half an hour she said, 'I think all those people want that ball.' When her parents confirmed that they did, she asked, 'Why didn't they buy enough balls for everybody to have one?' " There's no answer to that.
Of course all the Kiwis who reside in Australia are going to twice as many matches as the Australians. This is because the Kiwis always barrack for two teams - the "All Blacks" and "anyone who plays Australia".
