Seven

The International Sevens Rugby League is in Wellington this weekend. Two days of seven a side rugby with seven minute halves. It's awesome. Some of us cut out of work early (at five, leaving work at five is early, *sigh*) last night. There was some fantastic rugby, The US went 2-0 in group play, which is unprecedented for the historically weak US side. Kenya came from behind to stun South Africa in an epic first round match, much to the delight of the local crowd who are not big fans of the Springboks. They like the Austrailians even less and took great pleasure in the beatdown the NZ side laid on the Austrailians. And it's really just a big party. I don't know why but it seems like there's a rule somewhere that says you have to dress up so just about everyone is in some kind of costume. Good times. Got a few pix from yesterday. I'll get some more today and get them up on flikr when I get a chance.
