Kiwi's vs Kangaroo's Final 13.11.10

Who would have predicted this?

Fancy Australia and New Zealand meeting in the final.

What were the massive odds of that happening?

This rundown could have been written three weeks ago, cut and paste and copied in here now but, in case you have been living under a rock or ignored the Four Nations because you thought it was as exciting as watching golf, I will go through it. Both teams flogged PNG, both also flogged the Poms and the Aussies flogged the Kiwis the last time they met. Coming up, another shock result – Australia to beat New Zealand in the decider! ... that's what you thought! NOT.....

Throughout the whole week, the favourites to win were the kangaroo's, even a few Kiwi supporters thought they had it in the bag, but with hope comes miracles... and miracles happened on this day!... What a Game! hands down, one of the most entertaining games I've been to, Kangaroo's put on a awesome display of strength and consistency but with the surprise and hair raising 79th minute goal from the Kiwi's... the heavens opened and poured out all manner of kindness upon Benji Marshall who set up the magnificent try to be placed over the line by halfback Nathan Fien.

I felt out of place with my Australia shirt on amongst a swarm of black. Lucky I had Maria there to feel the same embarrasment. We were really rooting for N.Z but thought we cause a bit of trouble just for fun. And don't worry as soon as the siren went off, we both took our Aussie Jerseys of and threw them into the crowd. LOL... don't know what happened to them cause when we walked down it was gone. Oh well, it was only $5.

Other than that we are now FAMOUS! lol... sitting while watching the game, we received constant texts and facebook updates that we were seen on T.V. Of course the key moments would have to be when Ioaga saw us on the big screen and went berserk and the serious Greg singing the N.Z national anthem with his right arm across his chest. Not to mention Kose with his shades and his celebrity shots.
