Honeybunny,

I have lived half my life in Canada & have been in Auckland for the past 21 months. I lived in Ontario & most recently, Quebec.

Re: Rugby world cup

Lorraine,

If you don't have a TV, there will be a truckload of pubs in T.O, with the games on, but delayed. Any games with a 6-8pm (NZ) kick off, will mean 2-4am in Toronto. The only one's you may...

Barnsley Mat,

Really- you've tried rugby? how many seasons did you play rugby to come up with such an informed commentary.
