Rugby World Cup 2011 (Rugby thread)

Oh, so they normally do that before the anthems, then?

[Jeff]

They do here, Libby. Their attire is interesting. You wouldn't catch me wearing that garb on a windy evening in Auckland. A bit too chilly in the nether regions methinks ! The sight of that thong is enough to make my eyes water !

All together now...

Okay, I'll be sure to watch for all that. :2fun:

Australia beat Wales 21-18 to claim third place and the bronze medal. But if Wales had kicked all their penalties it would have been a different story. (This is where Piri Weepu is so good for the ABs). If Wales hadn't missed their kicks in the semi, they'd be in the final instead of the undeserving French. So near and yet so far. In fact in the 3 matches the Welsh lost they only conceded a combined total of 5 points. As far as the final is concerned everyone has written the French off but they have a habit of playing well when you least expect it so NZ will have to be on their guard.

It depends upon whether the time you state above is kick off or when coverage starts. Here in UK coverage starts 30 minutes before kick off and the activities on the pitch will be during this period.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes

So the anthem (by Hayley) and such will be the "activities" on the pitch? And what about the surprise song? Could there be one 'after' the match?

EDIT: BTW since this is 'live' everybody would be watching this in the next 2 hrs or sth rite? XD

[Simba]

Isn't the world cup finals like half an hour away...XD? No one's watching XD?

[Simba]

YES YES YES!!!! I WATCHED HAYLEY ON TV for the first time peforming the anthem! Can't wait for the next song XD...!!!

Slept in, but managed to catch the anthems again on ITV+1. Great performance by Hayley.

8-7 to New Zealand now. It could go either way...

[Simba]

THE ALL BLACKS WON! XD Is there another performance from Hayley?

[Dave]

Congratulations to the All Blacks for the win - it was close, the French team were tough!!!! 8 - 7.

Hayley sung her National Anthem brilliantly before the start and TV showed much more of her than they usually do at such events.

You can watch Hayley singing God Defend New Zealand here on our website - in high definition

God Defend New Zealand - Hayley at the World Cup Final

Or direct on our Youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhCgcZ0efAA

Simba, Hayley sang World In Union about ten minutes before God Defend New Zealand - I heard it on Talk Sport radio behind the discussion. Oh... I can hear her singing again now, in the background after the match, Now Is The Hour!



Cheers,

Dave
