My dad got invited come watch rugby at someone's house on Saturday. When Saturday came I went to watch my first real rugby test (they call a game a test). The lady whose house we went to was wearing an All Blacks jersey. It was England against the All Blacks (New Zealand's team). During the game I asked a lot of questions to get a better idea of how to play rugby. In New Zealand there is no point in asking who will win the test if the All Blacks are playing. The answer will always be the All Blacks no matter what! Before the test started England had people dressed up as knights and pretending to fight, what the All Blacks did is called the Haka. The Haka is a Maori war dance. I am not sure if they really the dance for culture or if they just do it freak the other team out. If you ever see your opposing team do this dance run! Over all, the game was good the All Blacks won by about 10-20 points.

Wow, that's scarey! They sound tough. It was very cool to click on the button and see the youtube click. You are very tech-savvy!
