It's a shame that Hayley doesn't get to sing the anthem.... honestly though, why can't the French simply find someone to sing there's? Sebastian from "IL Divo" would do a wonderful job I'm sure and there's got to be many more.

Still Hayley will have fun performing at the concerts around Paris!!

Ya, just as I thought...it was Hayley/All Blacks blasphemy even to bring it up.

I can't see Hayley pounding her pillow with her fist, and weeping uncontrollably when it happens though i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

PS: I did my part and voted... and I probably budged it .000003%... unfortunately still at 67% <grrrr>

What is going to happen though when the All Blacks lose their first game in which Hayley has sung the anthem though?

Speaking on behalf of Hayley:

"Noooooooooooo, don't even go there!"

Hi everyone

Thanks Belinda for the interviews. I don't know anything about Rugby and I have no interest in it. - sorry to any Rugby fans that may be reading this - including Hayley However, I really do feel very sorry for Hayley, because I know that she was very much looking forward to the event and supporting her team. Of course, it is due to circumstances entirely beyond her control. I therefore feel very honoured to have a ticket to Hayley's Kiwi Ceili and to feel that I am in a small way lending my support to her following this disappointing news

Best regards
Mark

The NZ Anthem is here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Defend_New_Zealand it will probably be sung at Hayley's Kiwi Ceili.......TimJ

Hi Everyone,
On the subject of who's scared of who in the World Cup, have a look at this: I assume this comes from another poll of Rugby fans from TV3 NZ.

Also from TV3 NZ.
I registered my disappointed vote & 67%Yes& 33%No still stands.

Graeme
PS The clips of both Gerald & Jill W & Hayley's own are well worth holding onto.

Wonder what dark thoughts are passing through her head here?? Almost like Jekyl & Hyde don't you think?

If there's one positive thing that could come out of this change in arrangements for Hayley is that Bedlam might consider some more concerts to fill the time before her trip to Japan?

Martin

Hi everyone

In trying to find a positive in a negative, maybe your right Martin, perhaps there will be time to fit in a few extra concerts now. I'm sure Stephany or Richard will soon alert us to any new concerts advertised

Hi Mark and Martin

I may be missing something here, but I believe all that has changed is that Hayley will not be singing publicly before the matches. I'm sure she said in her interview that she would still be attending the games to cheer her team on.

If that is the case, I'd be very surprised if the resourcefulness of our Hayley, combined with the might of the All Blacks doesn't result in some sort of private celebration before each game. Guessing again, that could include the singing of "God Defend New Zealand"

We'll just have to wait and see!

Best wishes

Hi Graeme!

An interesting collection of screen captures - who knows what she is thinking, but it may have something to do with France!

I particularly like the first picture - I think Hayley is at her most beautiful when she is concentrating or being serious.

Mmm! Just "Hayleywowed" myself again i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I doubt it since she'll still be going to the matches and singing the anthem from the stands.

[Stephany]

Hi everyone,

At this stage, I'm too shocked to reply appropriately to this thread.
I'm very disappointed as you can imagine - I feel extremely sorry for Hayley, her family, the All Blacks, the Kiwis, the Rugby Fans and everyone else in the world (especially the French, you have no idea what you're going to miss!).

Best wishes,
Stephany

Hi Stephany

I hope I speak for everyone when I say we were understandably worried about how you would take this very sad news and the predictably anti-French comments.

Needless to say, you are as much a victim here as is Hayley and the rest of us.

As for not knowing how to respond. I think you just did - admirably.

and just so that you don't forget "We still love you Stephany!"

Love
Grant
