[Elecraft] Very OT:Rugby World Cup 2011 Final

[Kevin Luxford]

Great game.  Very tense.  Only one point in it.  At one stage I shouted 
at the TV. "Remember the Rainbow Warrior".
Big celebrations in NZ having just won the World Cup by defeating France.

Yes, Eden Park is in Auckland.  The World Cup series was to have been 
played in Christchurch, which unhappily is still closed down after the 
devastating earthquakes in September of last year and February of this 
year.  About 4000 families have now moved away from Christchurch - 
school populations are down and the effect will probably mean about 300 
teachers being redundant.

Still the World Cup win will be a shot in the arm for the whole country.
