Parochial: having a narrow outlook or scope. (But really, only in rugby ... )
All Blacks (New Zealand): 47
France: 3
It was a great game, writes the kiwi living in Belgium.
And do you know, we don't have rugby hooligans ... there is no violence, no dirty fighting between fans after the match.
I liked this youtube, it gives you a taste of the game ...of my people.
New Zealand is the team in the black jersey ...

Ouch!
Yes, the All-Blacks deserved to win! As a French fan, I found the last third of the game hard to watch. But the All-Blacks were clearly the better team. Congrats (and see comments in your next post)!
And Di I forgot to mention that one of the French rugby players, Remy Matin (who plays for Stade Francais, our home team) lives in our neighbourhood. I often see him at the boulangerie or butcher. The Parc de Princes rugby stadium is just a 15-minute walk from our house.
I'm sorry mathieu - best we didn't wager :)
Hi Tara, the All Blacks are playing well at the moment ... it's a pleasure to watch but makes me horribly terribly homesick.
Remy Matin ... I must have a look.
