OK, the first game is over - we beat the Tongans 41/10.
Hey, that's not too good compared with earlier games when the ABs beat them by about 100.
The weather was good tho' and thousands of people watched the opening and fireworks before it started.
The only problem was, the public transport in Auckland couldn't handle the crowds and some people spent too long stuck in trains - they didn't get to the venue at all. And the buses and ferrys were stopped when the party venue was full, leaving long queues waiting on the wrong side of the harbour. Lots of disgruntled fans!
The next game is likely to be in pouring rain down south.
