Dear Diary
Well the Rugby World Cup 2011 is here in New Zealand. It’s been a long week but the opening game against Tonga at Eden Park is creeping closer. I have been selected on the bench to cover lock and blindside flanker. So training has been a real challenge this week and one that I have enjoyed. It’s interesting covering another position; it can only further my understanding of the game. I did play number six at school but it’s fantastic to be working alongside players who know the position inside out. It’s like they know what I’m thinking even before I ask the question. Crazy.

Dear Diary
Last Friday the All Blacks visited 11 small towns to meet everyone before the Rugby World Cup started and I had a really early start to the day. I was up and out of bed at 4:30am, so that I could catch my flight to Auckland and then down to Gisborne. I met Ma’a and Izzy (Israel Dagg) at the indoor equestrian centre to get involved with some rugby skills coaching with the local kids.

‘Time’s wing-ed chariot’ and ‘tempus fugit’ and all that, but it does seem only a moment ago that I was sitting in the broiling sun at the Velodrome at Marseille and watched, horrified, as Stirling Mortlock missed a penalty into a swirling wind near full-time that would have snatched a victory in the 2007 Rugby World Cup quarter-final for the Wallabies against England.

Where were you?
Come on be honest.
Where were you when the All Blacks were welcomed to the Rugby World Cup? I tell you where you weren’t, you were not at THE welcome.
