An awesome experience being there. Great game!
Never heard our national anthem sung that loudly in my life!
Yay Wallabies!

Some pics, first one from the Queen St Mall on the Friday where some All Blacks were presented to the crowd, the rest from game night.
The daughter has a heap more including from the Friday night function where McCallum, Ashley-Cooper and Burgess were but I haven't bothered with those yet.
Sorry about the quality, just shot from my phone from the seats we had with no zoom.

Gotta love the porn mo

Enjoyed the coverage, good to see my fav player win the award but would have been better if he was staying at the Warratahs!

Stoked that Samo got try of the year and I was there to witness it live!

Can't wait for the World Cup!

Go Wallabies!

Daughter got a personally signed photo from the Faingia twins today thanks to some workmates in Qld who know them. She was stoked, I think she'll be following the Reds next year!

the local papers over there gave Quade an absolute pasting

only a small contingent of Wallaby supporters this time, most are probably heading over for the world cup
now that Eden Park has been upgraded it is a fabulous stadium, looks good

also caught up with MK and Mr MK at the pre game function and the game, good to catch up guys
