Big day today in New Zealand. It's the opening of the Rugby World Cup and Auckland is the center of all the festivities. There will be musical performances, fireworks, hakas and much more going on at the city's waterfront district. Tonight will also be the opening ceremonies and the first game between New Zealand and Tonga. The kiwis are fired up for this, with everything from choirs singing about the All Blacks (NZ's team) to flash mob hakas (Maori warrior dance that the All Blacks do before each game). Check out the link to a recent flash mob haka:

We are heading to New Plymouth this weekend and will catch the USA vs Ireland game on Sunday. Ireland is one of the top ranked teams in the tournament and USA isn't very strong. The US will also be playing Australia (ranked 2nd in world), Italy (decent), and Russia (not very good). Sounds like the best chance for a USA will be in the rematch of the cold war.
