We were looking forward seeing the rugby test match at Eden Park and especially seeing the Haka as a life performance by the All Blacks. The trains were packed getting to the stadium, reminding us on normal rush hour scenario on London's underground system. The only difference were the wheels on the track sounding quite scary, obviously not used to that weight.We had great seats but the opening of the match with English knights fighting against knights from New Zealand was rather bizarre.
There were lots of English supporters in the stadium as well as a group of Germans behind us and All Blacks supporters in front of us. The atmosphere was fantastic especially the Mexican wave which went around the stadium 3 times with rubbish flying up in the air. Chris got injured by a bottle, luckily there were selling plastic ones only.
It was quite sad to see England loose against the All Blacks. The end result was 37-20 but what an amazing evening out.
