Another Week that Was
highlighted by the Black Ferns winning the Womens Rugby World Cup by beating Engand 24-17 in Edmonton,Canada. Congratulations to all concerned !
No highlight but the Knights went down (yet again) 1-0 to a Terry Butcher led Sydney, that's three defeats on the bounce, so much for early season promise !
The week in mens rugby provided a couple of trouncings - Aucklands 48-7 victory over Otago and Tasmans 56-15 win over Northland , not to mention the first Thursday night game which saw Southland defeat Taranaki 20-17.
The rest of New Zealand enjoyed New Zealand Fashion week which saw top models turning out from around the world, well perhaps a few from Oz that were not otherwise booked and were over here anyway. Apparently it was a huge success and the reverberations will be felt around the fashion world at least as far as Christchurch.
In politics, what has now become the normal round of harping about the other parties moral failings continued and we all fell asleep .
And finally, just to show what fair minded people Kiwis are - the annual Marsden Fund (never heard of it before? neither had we) caused controversy this week by handing $6 million of its $38 million giveway to 9 of their own panelists. Any chance of getting us on next years panel ?
