Stephen Donald from the Chiefs, the one who always murmurs 'please do not strike the post' b4 his goal kicking;) nah just kidding, he's a great fly half.
k thanks. started playing rugby last spring and here in the US it's next to impossible to watch professional level matches (or any for that matter!), and the best I can get is highlight clips here on YouTube. it's always cool to find longer clips like this, and this one is especially awesome cuz you feel like you're right there! :-D
kinda right as both sides are local players... Its a game without the Canterbury and Wellington's ABs (except for DC) who were preparing for the Air NZ final, or maybe because of the ground and the distance or no distance btwn the fans and the players...
the ABs usually have a public appearance before their end-of-year tour. they held it in different forms such as public training or trial games, to give the players a chance to catch up their forms and receiving support from the fans. this one was before their Hong Kong tour and held in Auckland.
jeez, i would have loved to have been there, i would have been just like that kid "this is the closest ive ever been to sivivatu!" what made them decide to do an open match?
the kids are so cute :P
