From next month I'll be living in Canterbury hence my support for the Crusaders - but you weren't to know this. Anyway even though I live in Scotland (only for 5 more weeks!) I'm still a Wasps man - should really be Sarries as I was born in Barnet.
I take your point about Man U. When they went to Singapore to play the Singapore national side there were more people in the stadium supporting them than the home side - daft or what?

Were out in march for a reccie, also going to oz, but will be up north around Hawkes Bay.
The good thing about the rugby was it cost $54 (less than £20) for a family of four to see the Crusaders v Waratahs, I can't get tickets for Arsenal - but if I did it would be double that each!
