World Cup Win

The All Blacks won the Rugby world cup this evening, awesome!!  The French played very well, and we had a very nervous eighty minutes.  Where mum was , the whole place was almost quiet up until the final whistle blew.  Then there was cheering and dancing and singing.  Mum didn't stay out late, pubs aren't her thing, and all the young ones were taking over.  Town was CRAZY, with people everywhere and car horns tooting and people  yelling!!  It has been a long 24 years since we last won the cup, and NZ has had a horrible horrible past 12 months, and it is nice to finally have something good to smile about.

So mum and I will sleep well tonight.

    P.S. For those of us in the U.S. where Rugby is not played, would you mind explaining the game a bit?

    Thanks!
