On Saturday, we went to the All-Blacks game. Christchurch Metro conveniently offered a special bus service to make it easy to get to and from the game. We took advantage of this service due to the special circumstances surrounding our vehicle. Before going to the game, I expected a certain level of fervor from the fans but unfortunately my expectations were disappointed. As the game was not expected to be a close one...no one was super pumped. Nevertheless, it was still a good time.
We dressed in black and most of us used facepaint to decorate ourselves (Some more than others). I had one great moment walking to the game, while waiting for the others to arrive at our arranged meeting point. An elderly gentleman approached me and said, "You must be a Canterbury All-Blacks fan." I guess he spotted my red & black Crusader colours scarf and black all-blacks cap. I felt very authentic...
Apparently it wasn't a very good game for the All-Blacks yet they still won 26-6. It was definitely a good time.
