It’s good to see the All Blacks have kept the Bledisloe Cup in Rugby Union. I was brought up to cheer for the All Blacks and anybody playing Australia. Now I’m in Australia it’s not that simple! I think the Australians have enough cups already.

But I’m a little concerned that Australians are too used to winning. A lot of my friends are whinging on about how badly the Australian cricket team did in the Ashes. They lost the second test by two wickets. Which makes the team useless? Of course not.

Kiwis are used to being philosophical. Perhaps it comes from being such a small country. Whenever we win it’s great. If we lose, too bad. Mind you if NZ had lost the Bledisloe Cup tonight there would be a week of depression in store…
