I shall have to wear red and black... I will get those little wrist bands they are selling at the post shops to raise money Susan. I saw Simon Barnett advertising them on the telly.

I am rather annoyed that the world cup games that were to be played in Christchurch are now being played in Auckland. I live not far from Eden Park and these darn matches play havoc with the traffic. I am doing a NIMBY about it .... but seriously I reckon they should have still been played in the South Island.

Hello,

The Canterbury Crusaders who hail from Christchurch NZ and surrounds, are to play a 'home game' against the Sharks on Sunday at Tickenham.

Because of the earthquake damage to their home stadium in Christchurch, the Crusaders have opted to play in the UK for one game. Foremost to hopefully earn some coin for their franchise.

The Crusaders have been given permission to sell up to 55,000 tickets to this game. Although Twickenham can hold 82,000, the local authorities are cautious about the rail system coping with more fans.

If you enjoy watching a great team play, please cheer them on. Our guys have travelled a long way so I hope they can unleash the great game they normally play.

Susan
