It was indeed. The Wallabies came back stronger in this game then the first one, Folau is very dangerous, he has a good future ahead...

Yea I watched that game last night and I know nothing about Rugby. But I was in a bar with a bunch of Kiwis and Wallabys fans so it was pretty exciting. Everyone was real polite after the game and got along well and had more beers.

In America some knucklehead would have started some crap eventually and got everyone on edge. Course this is Japan where all the foreigners are like kindred spirits.

Great game to both The All Blacks and the Wallabys. (Am I spelling this right? Apologies if I am not.) Trully exciting. That # 9 on the New Zealand team, I think his name is Adam ? Smith was quick and fast and a heck of an on field leader. What athletes those guys are.

My Fiance is a team doctor as an orthopedic surgeon for the Japanese National team and Rugby Association. She is hoping to work in New Zealand someday.

I'm in Tassie, but could do a Melbourne GTG if the timing is right and enough notice given.
would love to meet a few fellow watch perves, it does get lonely here sometimes when you've got a watch and nobody cares ;-)

cheers,
richard

I'm not an aussie (yet) but I'd be up for a Brisbane get together if there are any other TRF people living in Queensland.

A Melbourne GTG sounds like a good thing.

Anyone can do in mid November to early December 2013???

Count me in Steve. How about that little Chinese restaurant we were last at. T'was very private and the food was ok.
Any night other than a Friday or Monday suits me.
A Wednesday would be perfect.

Let's gauge the interest.

Who's up for a GTG?

Maybe a Saturday will suit best?
