All Blacks

No, this isn't a civil rights issue. The All Blacks are New Zealands professional rugby team. Unfortunately, they lost to France in the world cup before I had a chance to figure out what rugby was all about. I saw a few minutes of the game while sitting outside a French cafe (guess which side they were on?) in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Pretty cool. Too bad the TV was so small and the game moved so quickly or I might even have seen what a rugby ball looks like. NZ was all bent out of shape because they weren't allowed to wear all black--they lost the coin toss with France and had to wear silver instead. Assuming the World Cup is the end of the season, I wonder when it starts? The stuff I know about rugby is...well, if you read this post you know everything I do!
