Rugby World Cup --New Zealand hosts

Frankly, following Scotland almost ten years so far is hard on the heart. The last 5 minutes of the game they usually manage to turn victory around to crashing defeat, and break my heart. One time i felt lucky and asked JIm to place a small bet on Scotland v Italy, and he didn't even bother. That game we won.
I woke up alone about 2 am this morning, and Jim was out watching the Scotland-Romanian game. Scotland was ahead, then they fell apart and Romania scored before the half. Then they came back from the half-time and let Romania rule the game until a tie down-spirited them so much Romania tried and went ahead. I will admit at that point i almost went to bed.
Thank God i held out. JIm insisted we were fine and the five minute mark was approaching.
The last five minutes with some substitutions on both sides, the game came alive. We made our fourth try to get the extra point and forced a score wedge that kept Romania from their losers point. I almost danced in the hall. See previous blog regarding leg.
So as i said in a previous blog, this truly is our year if we can bring that discipline to every game. I love Andy for leading us to our potential, and i am even more eager for the games to roll on. As for the All-Blacks, if we beat England it will confirm to me that any team can win or lose on any given day.
Anyone know when USA is playing? GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings
