Good morning rugby enthusiast's, were ever you are in the Nobs World Cup Rugby World.  We have finally received transmissions from the RWC in New Zealand, but it wasn't from the two reporters we had been counting on.  Our intrepid reporter JKT, a Welshman at large has picked up the slack where the others have failed.  [So far anyway] Before we hear from John another reminder of "NO" game this Sunday.  In its place will be a rousing game of touch in Burlington at 1pm.  Dome Days begin next Thursday October 13^th and if you're thinking of participating this winter let Jack Morrison know at s.j.morrison@sympatico.ca .. Don't say you weren't warned.  We are still looking for referees for the dome; a show of hands please for volunteers.  So let's give this over to John who provides us with an interesting incite of what New Zealanders think of Nobs!  Have a nice long weekend, now over to John, Da Thug

Craig no problem. Who are the other two? I'm assuming Dave Tait and perhaps Steve Jack? I know Ron jones and Monte Heald are down here somewhere. Hoping to meet up with Monte in Wellington....JKT

John thanks very much for this.  Maybe it will shame the other 2 into action.   This will be going in the next Nobs World.  Have a good time and keep us updated on things.  Craig

Hi Craig not sure if I'm an official reporter but will send one in anyway. We made it to NZ safe and sound with no incidents along the way and made it to the Wales/Fiji game with plenty of time to spare. Actually managed to get great tickets through a friend of Nigel Thorne via a Czech Republic Rugby Club (go figure). Met up with Steve Jack and had a couple of beers before the game but had to endure the NZ/Canada hammering on the bar TVs before heading off to the stadium. Actually my son Ryan was at that game in Wellington and he said he enjoyed it despite the score. 30% of the fans there were Canadian apparently.Wales though are looking pretty strong if I have to say so but most people there were saying that wasn't the real Fiji. At the end we were willing Fiji to score something/anything as their fans there around us were great people. If you're a real Welsh fan check out the YouTube video on the Welsh Fans at the Fraser Tech rugby club in Hamilton NZ. We might have found a new favorite song! I'm sure the scene will be repeated in the Red Dragon pub when we get down to Wellington.

Currently it's 7.30 am on Wed morning and I'm sitting with a coffee in a rustic cabin type hotel room staring out at the Tasman Sea. Man what a view. Mt. Taranaki is right behind us but no snow on it, I guess the recent rain washed it all off. Weather is gorgeous today though as it was yesterday and it was a spectacular drive down over the mountains to the coast from Hamilton. It's a tough life but somebody has to do it.

Will report again after Wellington Qtr Final games. Both of those should be humdingers.

Take care all. From your intrepid reporter.......JKT

Ps. I keep hearing the Kiwis talking about Nobs all the time but eventually figured out it was a derogatory term for people who they don't like very much. Ah well I guess I won't be wearing my Nobs shirt to any functions.

Good evening rugby fans where ever you are on this wet evening in the Nobs World.   We have finally heard from our rugby correspondent Dave Tait.  It seems he wasn't spending his time abroad drinking and carousing but being a responsible family man!  More on Dave in a bit.   The semi finals of the Rugby World Cup are drawing closer as the weekend approaches, but so are the Ottawa Senators who will be here this "Saturday" in Brampton at 1pm.   Come on out and join in.  Next Sunday the 23rd our game is now officially at Crusaders Park in Oakville at 1pm.   On the following Wednesday, the 26th. we will also be at the Cru  with a 1pm kickoff.  More on this to follow but this is a game for playing Nobs members first, so if you are planning to play in this fixture let me know.  We will be setting a roster deadline in the near future and at that point we will be inviting non-Nobs to join us to fill out the limited roster.  Do not delay in letting me know your plans.  Don't be left standing on the side lines.  It seems our mate Dave was on a bit of a holiday before he planned on heading to the World Cup.  Everyone seems to be accounted for now.  Tomorrow we will hear from John Truman and see what he has been up to.  Lets here now from Dave and see you in the Dome tomorrow and on the pitch in Brampton Saturday.  Da Thug

Hi Craig,

 

I have not been ignoring you honestly! 

 

I have been in the back woods of Australia, with limited internet (It is known as Woop Woop! here.) shearing sheep, trecking in the rain forest, dolphin park etc., with family. I have had little opportunity to see much rugby so far, but will be in a pub tonight and tomorrow for the quarter finals.

 

Shelley and I head over to Auckland on Tuesday for the semis and the finals, and hope to catch up with some of our NOB travellers there. Monty is staying with us one night at least.

 

I will report in when we get rugby active.

 

Best wishes

 

Dave
