    Normally I'm a Bombers supporter, but for today GO CATS! Anything is better than having to listen to all the bloody Pies supporters for another year.

    I'm from Melbourne so I don't really know much about NRL, But I guess I'm going for Manly to show those Kiwis a thing or two.

    Anyone else watching? Who do you support?

    @eloping: YEAH BABY!  I've gotten so into it this year!! This Tonga game is intense, and its making me really happy cause Canada beat Tonga 2 weeks ago - if they beat France it feels a bit like justice. 

    I will be watching the NRL finals tomoz as well, GO THE WARRIORS!  ANYONE BUT MANLY!

    AFL isn't really my cup of tea, though i do enjoy their bodies.

    i must say the US team has improved... i remember their first world cup and they were trying to play their football rules and didnt get the forward pass rule

    one of their guys was almost crying during the anthem last week - man up dude!

    @eloping:That's true about the aussies needing some breathing room. I cant fight my Irish blood though! That's great that you're coming to NZ for Christmas :) We were originally going to California to be with Mr E's family, but that fell through so Im looking forward to showing him what a "real" kiwi Christmas is like with just the two of us.

    @jaguar:Aw, you're a woman with good taste (in my heavily biased opinion) :P

    @Roux: Oh, without a doubt the AFL-ers have the best bodies in sport.  No contest.

     

    @eloping: aw i love the american anthem - it makes me tear up & I'm not even american!  And sportsmen are allowed to cry at appropriate times i reckon - i agree maybe the anthem isn't an appropriate time - but i still love to see it!

    @eloping: whereabouts are you going in NZ?  If you're in Auckland, you should check out Waiheke Island - i was going to get married there, its my #1 favorite place on earth!

    @eloping:Haha! Classic. Oh, and I second @ScarletBegonia's suggestion about Waiheke Island. Otherwise places like Nelson, etc are always so lovely in summer. I would definitely not recommend Palmerston North (where I live). Too windy and cold!

    @ScarletBegonia: this trip is all south island

    last christmas was Rotorua (4nights), Dunedin (2 nights), Christchurch (4 nights)

    this trip is Dunedin (4nights), Milford Sound (4 nights) and Queenstown (3 nights)

    we hope to scuba dive this trip at Milford and a return trip to the Speights Brewery because hubby is a sad pitiful creature that enjoyed it the first time so much he wants to go back

    @eloping: Sounds lovely - I did a Sth Island trip at the beginning of this year and didn't go to any of those places :( we stayed mostly in the north of the south - Chch, Kaikoura, Akaroa, Lake Tekapo, and the Marlborough wine region.  It was amazing, but I wish we'd seen more!  Hope you have a great time, we'll be in cold cold cold Canada, then hot hot hot Mexico this christmas!

    @ScarletBegonia: we're thinking if we do a 3rd trip we will do queenstown to the glaziers/springs and back to christchurch - its such a enjoyable country

    years ago i did Alaska for 10weeks and a guy was always saying "this is just like home" and now i understand - beautiful country

    and the exchange rate helps :)

    @Roux: i really liked NZ - we went with no expectations and liked it so much we were already saying "when we come back" at the airport

    unless you want something hot - fiji, tonga, nuie, cook island, png.... also a few hours away by plane

    @eloping: I've been to Fiji and loved it there! We really want to honeymoon somewhere neither of us have been to, so maybe NZ. We won't be honeymooning until June 2013 at the earliest so we have plenty of time to research.

     

    I think Geelong might have it! up by 21 points with 13 minutes to go!
