Regardless of how many times I see them, I love them.

Historically, the haka is a challenge, usually before battle so a response is appropriate. Several years ago the Ireland Rugby Team linked arms and paced forward right into the All Blacks faces as they were doing the haka. Did not put them off, and New Zealand won!

Yeah, I just watched the replay last night, and the All Blacks owned that game up and down.

The announcer made a comment in the beginning that New Zealand and Scotland have played each other 25 times and Scotland has never won against them. They have tied twice, but they have never won.

There was only a 13 kilogram difference in the weight of each team, but NZ owned every single scrum they had.

I was going to say, I love pasta, but I hope Scotland can beat Italy on Saturday. New Zealnad was a pretty good lock for first of Pool C, but let's hope the number 2 spot goes to Scotland. I have a pretty good feeling it will.
